22-week update

not much happening here. after my big scare last week, i've been trying to de-stress, which has been extremely hard. i don't know why but things have been happening one after the other with no end in sight.

but that's for another time and probably another blog, as this one is dedicated to the one within my belly.

LOTS of movement. sometimes i feel her more towards the back and down low, so it feels really strange.

messed up sleep schedule. i seem to have a hard time falling asleep, but i think it probably just has to do with the fact that i've been getting up later lately. i'm still sleeping on my back comfortably.

big belly. it came out of nowhere, just one day i woke up with it. even 2 weeks ago it wasn't this big. i find it rather uncomfortable already, which is frightening since i still have another 18 weeks to go.

goodbye rings. i'm a bit paranoid about my hands swelling up to the point the rings will have to be cut off. so i took them off a couple days ago. the hands/feet are not that swollen yet, but i like to be ready, since it sounds inevitable that they will swell.

mood. other than the stress, i've been in good spirits.

baby stuff. we bought a change pad, a few outfits, and that's about all. in a few weeks we'll bring our crib, pack n' play, and exerciser from edmonton. the big stuff that's still left to buy are a swing, car seat, and ...i can't remember what the third one was... but there's three.

i think that's all. apparently the baby is nearly a pound and as long as a banana.
