22 Weeks

Pregnancy Highlights
How Far Along: 22 weeks
Size of baby: According to babycenter.com the baby is about the length of a spaghetti squash (whatever the hell that is)
At 11 inches (the length of a spaghetti squash) and almost 1 pound, your baby is starting to look like a miniature newborn. His lips, eyelids, and eyebrows are becoming more distinct, and he's even developing tiny tooth buds beneath his gums. His eyes have formed, but his irises (the colored part of the eye) still lack pigment. If you could see inside your womb, you'd be able to spot the fine hair (lanugo) that covers his body and the deep wrinkles on his skin, which he'll sport until he adds a padding of fat to fill them in. Inside his belly, his pancreas — essential for the production of some important hormones — is developing steadily.
Total Weight Gain/Loss: +15
Maternity Clothes: We have entered the stage of full on maternity wear.
Gender: Team Blue! Xander Cruz
Movement: He's been moving a lot more and I can feel him pretty well on the outside. The other night around 12:30 I thought that he was having a drum session in my belly. Dominic has also been able to feel his little brother kick as of this week.
What I miss: i still miss sushi terribly.
Sleep: pretty good this week i did take a few naps but nothing major.
Symptoms: No real pregnancy symptoms this week. The belly has started to get a little itchy but i think that is because the weather is getting colder.
Best Moment this week: Just feeling the constant movement is very reassuring and booking my maternity photo session.
What I am looking forward to: getting off a few days for Thanksgiving in a few weeks.
