22 weeks

My belly has definitely popped. People have started to think I am further along than I am - I blame being short. There's just not much room in there when you're 5'4". Plus he's probably a big baby. In addition to a big belly, this means that I still haven't had a break in the whole peeing constantly thing (and not likely to), and I already find myself short of breath on occasion from decreased lung capacity. I've also started to have some braxton hicks contractions. Woohoo! 4.5 months to go... at this rate, the third trimester should be interesting. ;) I'm feeling less fatigued though, which is nice, and my appetite is back with a vengeance so I finally got up above my pre-pregnancy weight in the past week or so. I'm taking a weekly yoga class and am enjoying the warmer, sunny weather. And we are all registered for the baby shower, and have narrowed down our name selection to three names. :) Oh, and baby boy is very active, turning somersaults and kicking me all day long, which is neat! Sean hasn't been able to feel him yet, but I don't think it will be very long before he can - it's more about timing than anything, it's hard to predict exactly when he'll kick hard in which spot. I think that's all in baby news! Sean's anniversary present to me was to get the windows tinted in my car, which we did today, so I won't roast this summer, and neither will baby boy once he's here... yay! (Don't mind the vacuum cleaner right behind me... we'll have to get better at this photography stuff once we have a cute little photo subject. ;)
