22 weeks, 3 days.
This week’s list of five good things about being pregnant right now:
- The baby is being really squiggly today, which makes me very happy (even if he is able to squirm his way into some verrrry uncomfortable positions sometimes!)
- OB appointment went fantastically. Doctor said everything looks “magnificent”, uterus is the right size, heartbeat is good, etc. Yay!
- Baby is already a troublemaker, proving that he is without a doubt our spawn. Not that there was any doubt to begin with. Every time the doctor tried to find the heartbeat with the Doppler, the kid would move away and he’d have to look elsewhere. Finally he found it (it sounded terrific!), and the kid moved again. I couldn’t feel the movement, but the doctor could hear it and laughed about it.
- Confirmation that the baby is moving, and that it’s not just last night’s Thai food.
- Finally looking pregnant enough that people smile at my belly when they walk by. Let’s hear it for pregnant belly’s victory over fat belly!
