Week 22

Hello Everyone. Week 22 and all is well. My feet haven't grown in the last week, so I consider that a huge plus. This week BG is 11 inches long and about a pound. Of course I need to include my 'food comparison of the week' to her size. This week, my pregnancy web update told me that BG is about the size of a spaghetti squash. Yeah, that meant nothing.

So, for the rest of you who aren't spaghetti squash coinsures, I have another comparison for you. BG is about as long as a wine bottle from the bottom to half way up the neck of the bottle. Please let me know that's a better comparison. I think I'm just missing wine at the moment. Actually, I'll be honest....I've been missing wine for approximately 22 weeks. Oh, and the non-alcoholic wine is NOT a substitute. It tastes like grape juice and doesn't fool anyone.

I keep hearing from friends at work that I look more pregnant in person than I do in the pictures on my blog, so I included one of each. You be the judge. Of course, this would be the one time that I photograph thinner than I actually look in person. Isn't it usually the opposite?


Nothing really monumental to report at this stage in the pregnancy, so I thought I'd blog about a few things I've learned so far:

1. Burgerville makes the BEST milkshake of all time (i'm happy to report I've only had 2 since I've been pregnant)
2. If your feet are super huge to begin with and you were already self-consious about them, chances are they WILL grow during pregnancy and probably not go back. Murphy's Law in action folks.
3. Dreams get stranger the more pregnant you get. Last week I had a dream that I gave birth to a hoagie sandwich! Really creepy and just plain wrong.
4. Running errands for a few hours will require a nap later on in the day. Even at this point I just don't feel I can do as much as I did before.
5. Not sleeping thru the night begins far before the baby arrives. I haven't slept thru the night since I found out I was pregnant. Too many bathroom trips!

Also, I thought I'd include one of the cutest onesies I've seen so far. Check out the little strawberries. I love it...kind of reminds me of my Strawberry Shorcake obsession as a child. Nothing cuter! This one is courtesy of Grandma.
