Today, I am 22 weeks pregnant. I also have a cold. Under normal circumstances, I would keep myself on a steady regimine of Day/Ny.quil, but with little ones in ute, I'm stuck taking tylenol and sucking on cough drops. Oh. Well. This will pass.
So, I thought I would do a little pregnancy update (Sans pic, though. I'm not really feeling close-up ready right now.) Feel free to not read this "all things babies" post.
How far along: 22 weeks! 14 days to viability!
How big are babies: "The size of small dolls." This is pretty vague, if you ask me. Up until this point, they were always compared to fruit. Last week, they were "The size of large bananas." I know how big large bananas are. Words like small and large when it comes to dolls and toy trucks and whatnot, though, can be rather subjective, if you know what I mean. At my MFM specialist appt on Thursday, they were each over 8 inches long and weighed over a pound each. I'm just going to imagine two really, really, really fat Ken dolls rolling around in there.
Weight gain: 17 pounds.
Sex: Nope! Need to get Baby A's placenta moving a little further away from my cervix in order to enjoy some hanky panky.
Cravings: Nothing. I'm back to just grazing here and there and not really trying to think about food all that much. Most things give me heartburn, so I'm sticking to the small, small meals 5-6 times a day. And I don't really care what it is, either. Small salad, apple, piece of cheese, small bowl of soup, piece of chicken, pork chop - I don't really mind at all. Just keeping myself fed and hydrated is the name of the game. I thought I would enjoy food more in pregnancy, but *sigh* not so much.
Maternity clothes: Yes. All maternity all the time since about 10 weeks along.
Sexes: Baby boys! Yay for little guys!
Sleep: Pretty good! Getting up a lot to pee at night, but sleeping well in between. No complaints there.
Looking forward to: 2/26!! Viability!!

ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon! Sucks not being able to take the hard stuff. ;)
ReplyDeleteYou sound so chilled out and sensible about your pregnancy. Love it! 26th Feb will be here before you know it
ReplyDeleteSorry about the cold, it does suck not being able to take anything... Congrats on your little Ken dolls! I also had the subjective nature of weekly size "approximations". Early on I had an iphone app that said the baby was the size of a flip phone... how is that a legit mesurement? There are about 100 flip phones out there all of varied sizes, and are we talking about flipped open or closed? Haha, anyway, I wish they'd just give lengths!
