22 Weeks

How far along: 22 weeks

Weight gain/loss: Next appointment is September 21st, and on the 28th for my 2 hour glucose screening 

Maternity clothes: Haven't purchased any additional maternity clothes but I do need some more roomy tops for work.  Hopefully I can find some things that are inexpensive and I can wear post pregnancy.

Stretch marks: I use cocoa butter cream in the morning and pregnancy oil at night.  Hope it works!!

Symptoms: Nothing really new.  Feel full very easily and constipation is really frustrating.  

Sleep:  Good, just trying to get to bed by 10 or 1030 at night seems to help.

Best moment this week: Went to Eastern Market on Saturday morning with my parents and we got a bunch of boxwoods and hydrangea plants.  Steve got them all planted on Sunday and they look awesome!!

Gender: Still unknown.  Found out my coworker (due in Feb) is having a boy.

Belly button in or out: Staying in so far

Food cravings:  No cravings.  Just wish I didn't feel so full so easily all the time.  I finally made this crockpot chicken noodle soup that turned out really good and wish I had made a double batch.

Movement: Here and there but I still don't feel like this baby moves as much as Joey did.

What I miss: Not feeling huge and full all the time.  I know it shouldn't bother me but having people tell me "you've popped!" or "you're really showing now" makes me self conscious.  I know it's bound to happen but it just gets to me.  Trying to work on that.

What I'm looking forward to: Cooler fall weather and possibly going to Eastern Market again this weekend.
