Michael Austin White. Week 22

Baby: Our baby boy is the size of a coconut this week. He is measuring about 10.9 inches long and weighing in at 15.1 ounces. He is sleeping in cycles of 12-14 hours per day. He is growing eyebrows, lashes and perhaps has the first signs of hair. His hearing is so developed that he can now pick up sounds inside my body- like my heartbeat, breathing & stomach gurgling.

Symptoms: I've really started to look and feel pregnant this week! I feel like I've hit a milestone in my pregnancy. My belly definitely has started to look more fuller- finally. I'm ready for my bump to start growing bigger & bigger!

Weight: I forgot to weigh myself this week :-/

Sleep: I bought an extra pillow to put between my knees when I sleep. I sleep on my left side with two pillows under my head/shoulders to keep me slightly elevated to try and avoid as much nightly heartburn as possible. Despite how cold it's been (we keep our heat at 70 degrees at night) I've been waking up with the blankets off of me, these crazy hormones make me so hot.

Cravings/food: No new cravings. I eat 3 meals a day with healthy snacks (usually fruit) in between. Oh and I have to have a bowl of cereal every night before bed!

Clothes: As of right now I just have 2 pairs of maternity jeans & a few maternity tops. I've bought a few new "flowy" tops and just went up a size, that way I can still wear them post pregnancy.

Thoughts/ideas: I'm recreating a Pinterest project that I saw a few weeks ago. It's a diaper cart for my office upstairs. Michael Austin's nursery is right at the bottom of the stairs so I just plan on filling it with necessities. I posted the picture below to my Facebook page and Instagram account and got SO many great responses from moms about things that I REALLY need in it. Now I'm wishing I would have got a bigger cart :-D
