Welcome 2010! We had a nice quiet weekend up north at the lake house, enjoying some family time with the Penney's :)
Jan 2nd was also our first anniversary as a married couple, and had a fun day exploring North Conway. Can't believe a year has already passed us, many more happy & great years to come!
Today, I'm 22 weeks and nothing too much has changed, but that I'm def a lot more rounder and carrying low. The baby bump is becoming a hand magnet, which I don't mind at all, so if you see me don't be shy and give baby AJ a rub and hello! The baby can hear you, so certainly introduce yourself, too! But back to the size difference. . . ever since New Years Day, my belly is poking out (along with my belly button!) and its starting to get harder bending over like when I tie my shoes, put boots on, etc.. Not to mention the baby is 100% sitting on my blader, which is a lot of added pressure. Isn't fun especially in the morning. One morning, I did wake to a HUGE, hard bump on the left side of my stomach while I was laying on my back. . . it must of been the baby's head! It was amazing. Frank couldn't believe it either. I've heard towards the end of pregnancy you can actually see hands and feet poking out. That'll be interesting to experience.
Here is what babycenter.come writes this week:
"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."
Next check-up appt is Jan 25th. More baby info to come!
