21-22 Weeks

22 weeks and brain cells are popping rapidly - so I have noticed that it is harder to remember things I need to do, words I am trying to say, names of things etc. I think my brain cells are dying quickly. The other day I wrote a check. The amount was $2214 so I wrote "Twenty-two thousand fourteen" and thought it seemed weird but couldn't figure it out. Fortunately Alex and my dad found it on my desk before I deposited it - whew!

We had our ultrasound on 10/12. Everything looked great! She is measuring right on and developing perfectly. It was fun to see her move and FINALLY link it to what I am feeling. I have been able to better tell if it is her or gas. She is super wiggly! I only felt her move from the outside once - on 10/13 - so it might be a while before Alex gets to feel.






Clothing crisis at 21 weeks - all of a sudden I couldn't do the pants with rubber band thing. I was having a bit of a melt down and Alex was so nice and took me shopping. I bought my first pair of maternity pants and they really aren't that bad :) I also got some good stretchy waisted regular pants. Tried on some regular shirts yesterday to see if I could still wear them - they look like cropped t-shirts - sad. My boobs and belly make everything super short. I had to laugh at myself in the mirror - I looked kind of like a freak!

We finished the crib last weekend!!! Well, Alex finished it. He did most of the work and it looks great- took 5 coats but worked. Note to self - red to white is not very easy. We chipped it a little putting it together and the red shines right through - oh well. Alex suggested white out - might be our new best friend. He was so excited that he had us put all the bedding in the crib. I have to say, it looks pretty cute!



And a few random pictures from my house - the fall leaves changed over night - but wow, what a view!
