22nd Week Update

If you're new here, please consider subscribing to Mommy Daddy Blog. We wouldn't want you to miss out on our updates or giveaways ;-)! Thanks for visiting!

As of today I am 22 weeks pregnant. I’m 114lbs and Jayden is 1lb 2oz! Jayden’s continuing his normal Gettin’ Jiggy Wit It in my belly. I’m currently enjoying fruit loops cereal and rainbow sherbet (not together). I may go back to my bacon and boiled eggs craving. Some TMI ahead…the prenatals are turning my “relief” weird colors.

Yesterday we had our second doctor visit and all is well. I was advised to start getting some exercise either by walking or swimming. If I get my heart rate going I’ll be physically prepared for additional weight gain and labor will be much easier. There’s one problem, it’s freezing outside! Yesterday was the coldest day ever but we walked around campus since Daddy had to get things sorted out with school. Hopefully it will warm up, when it does we’ll take our dog (Caesar) out with us. If I win this pedometer, walking would because less of a chore and sorta exciting =).

Here is the second set of ultrasounds we received. Jayden had the nerve to shoo away the ultrasound tech when she rolled over him! I guess you should never mess with my baby when he’s sleeping! She had to do a lot of digging in my pelvic area and it tickled so bad! Jayden’s still upside down, how convenient! I hope he stays that way even if his big head is resting on my bladder.

Our next visit is scheduled for January 31st and I will be taking the glucose test. I was told that the liquid would taste like a sugary soda…oh sure it will :-/. *heaves*
