22 Weeks - Papaya!

How far along? 22 weeks - Papaya! 
Weight gain/loss: Up 1 lb again 
Maternity clothes? Just tops, shorts/jeans still ok, hoping to not have to buy any maternity bottoms! 
Stretch marks? I've had some for years, the joys of my fair Irish skin...
Sleep? Feel like I need more and more, by 1 or 2 pm I'm zoning out and wishing for a nap.  
Best moment this week? Going to the OB and getting our anatomy scan results and the results from the intergrated test - both awesome! 1 in 50,000 chance for Downs, baby's heart looks great, and she's measuring 4 days ahead! Go baby, go! :) 
Food cravings: Sugar.  
Gender: Baby Girl - Ashley! 
Belly button in or out? Still looking funky, changing every day. 
Movement? More and more, especially during the day. Now I can notice it standing up or sitting, and a lot more when I'm lying down. 
What I miss? Sleep. Guess I better get used to it! 
What I'm looking forward to: DH & I were talking about how the dogs are going to take to the baby. I've had my nephew over this week and they LOVE him, so looking forward to them meeting our baby girl! 


And here's a lil bump shot while I'm at it, taken in the work bathroom, and I feel like crap today so excuse my  appearance!

21 Weeks - Banana!

How far along? 21 weeks - Banana! 
Weight gain/loss: Up 1 lb 
Maternity clothes? Just tops, shorts are still very loose 
Stretch marks? I've had some for years, the joys of my fair Irish skin...
Sleep? Heartburn has been ruining sleep for me, even with my script of Zantac and tums every few hours :( 
Best moment this week? Think I finally felt her kick from the outside. DH still hasn't though. 
Food cravings: Candy! Sweets! Anything sugary. 
Gender: Baby Girl - Ashley! 
Belly button in or out? In - looks funky right now, getting a little stretched, you can see both the top and bottom of my old belly button ring holes. 
Movement? Lots of kicks, mostly at night. 
What I miss? Sleep, I've been moody and emotional without it! 
What I'm looking forward to: Heading out after work today to buy some more baby items!
