22 Weeks!

This week…where to begin! We placed an offer on a house site unseen, our fourth offer mind you, it ends up being a house we do not want…but of all bids…of course we win it! We decided to let the house go and continue with our search.

We had a hectic, but wonderful Memorial Weekend! We went to Austin to visit our friend and their new baby…and did some shopping at my favorite outlet mall!  We came back Saturday so we could be good and rested up for the lake on Sunday!


On our way/on the lake...

How Far Along: 22 Weeks on 5/23/12

Size of Baby: She’s the size of a spaghetti squash and about 11 inches long, weighing just under a pound.

Baby Updates:  The brain is growing and starting to develop. She can now hear your heart beat, stomach churn and the sound of my voice. 
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Up another pound this week so a total of 14! Yikes!!!
Maternity Clothes: I visited my friend, Crystal, in Austin and she sent me back with some dresses, maternity tops, more bella bands, and a pair of maternity shorts…I don’t know that the shorts will last another week though!
Gender: It’s a girl!! Scarlett Camille Shepherd 
Movement: All the time…and when we were out at the lake one of my friends and I saw my belly move! First time for that!
Sleep: I'm sleeping okay still…I wake up probably once a night, but so far that hasn’t been so bad.

What I miss: Sleeping on my stomach…without a doubt! It’s almost confining because I can only roll from side to side via the back and its quite annoying.

Cravings: Fruit and Froyo! 
Symptoms: I find myself getting hot a lot easier…I am normally the one that takes a jacket everywhere and now…no. I get hot, then I get irritated, and quite frankly my personality starts to irritate me when I get hot… Who knows how mean I’m going to be come July!
Best Moment this week: Learning how to make cute hair bows with my friend Crystal…and finding homes for things in our office should we not find a house before baby Scarlett’s arrival.
