I realized as we headed out of town last Monday that I hadn't completed my 22 week post (pic was taken a week ago today), so please pretend that this isn't a week late. Tom has started the whole "omg, you're huge" comments which always crack me up. I have a feeling we're gonna get a whole lot more "huge"!
How Far Along: 22 weeks on 12/21
Size of baby: 11", length of a spaghetti squash. And guess who now weighs almost a full pound?! Baby is growing!
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Guessing maybe 4 lbs by now, but not exactly sure. Actually maybe 5 lbs after all the holiday food goodness this past week.
Maternity Clothes: Yes, for church otherwise living in comfy-I-am-a-stay-at-home-mom clothes! It's a dream! Also placed an order for a maternity swimsuit...headed to the water park this weekend and we definitely want to keep it classy, not trashy. Really hoping it fits!
Gender: I love hearing people's guesses. I'd say it's about 50/50 boy or girl so far? Actually, maybe a few more boy guesses.
Movement: Yes! I just love it! I felt the baby for the first time at 16.5 weeks and Tom felt the baby at 17 weeks. It never ceases to amaze me!
Sleep: Fabulous. Gwendolyn is sleeping better and in her crib and I have been sleeping straight through.
What I miss: Being able to take Advil for back pain and headaches. Tylenol is so weak.
Cravings: Back to basically not craving anything, but my love of coffee has returned and it tastes wonderful!
Symptoms: The headaches went away for a short while, but they randomly returned last week. Like throbbing headaches. Could it have been the increase in sugar? I'm wondering...
Also, ligament pain is no fun. I'll spare you the details of other symptoms.

Best moment this past week: Celebrating Christmas with Gwendolyn was so awesome this year (and we have one more Christmas this coming weekend!) She gets so much more excited and can open her presents and say thank you and give hugs and loves Santa and just all of it was a blast. Next year with two will certainly be different, but if she loves Elmo so much, how much more will she love her own real-life baby doll?! I can't wait to see her as a big sister.
