22 Weeks

I'm totally writing this early but oh well :) i'm anxious because the last week has gone on for a year! so totally off the subject, you know how on comcast the like 900 channels are just music genre's? well there's totally a channel called toddler tunes. cute. but kinda boring ha ha ha ha. i'll just have him listen to something way better. 

So i totally can't believe how much of a little mover our little port is! man and he gets stronger every week! I totally feel for girls who hate being pregnant but i've made it a personal goal to enjoy every last bladder kick and backache ha ha ha ha. I"m trying to keep a much more positive attitude because getting annoyed at people for no reason and venting about it is so negative and it's horrible because i'm in such an incredibly positive place in my life! Speaking of where i am in life, i'm going this week to the temple for the first time and I can't say how excited I am! everything in life is so good! not to mention that drew and i have moved our finances around and if everything goes pretty close to how we have planned... 

I GET TO BE A STAY AT HOME MOMMY

isn't that amazing? we won't have to worry about babysitters and who takes him when :) i'd still work at jitters on weekends but that's something i love to do so it's not even really work! Also drew and i had such issues last week and i can't remember if i told you but we got a new car! yey! 

i'll put up a post with pics on the regular blog later though!

I've gained 2 lbs in the last week! i'm a solid 14 lbs in the mornings so that's good means the little guy is growing well! 

speaking of growing! he's as "long" as a spaghetti squash measuring about 11 inches and weighing in at my guess is a little over a pound!

so his skin is super wrinkly because it's the size it wants to be but there's no fat on his little bones yet to fill it out. he's starting to settle into sleep cycles now being asleep from 12 to 14 hours a day... hmm... i may start to keep track of the times of day he's most active and see how drastically it changes every day! his ear bones are even more developed this week so it's even better to read a book or sing to him but he already could hear. i know because at night i always sing him the same song before i go to sleep which usually wakes him up and he starts moving but i would much rather go to sleep feeling him wriggling around. 

his sense of touch is much better this week so he'll be stroking his face and feeling around more than normal just basically exploring :) also it says his little fingernails have now grown long enough to cover his fingertips! his little heartbeat should just be strong enough to hear with a stethoscope mmm i'm totally going to have to try that! and he's swallowing that aminotic fluid more and more to work out his jaw and tounge to get him ready to eat when he comes out! 

Oh have i mentioned that i have an appointement on friday with the doc? maybe she can tell me why my back hurts as bad as it does, cause i'm not fat enough for it to be that yet :) jk i feel huge. 

anyway, love you all! i really do!
