22 weeks

I can't believe how fast each week is flying by! I feel like I was JUST 20 weeks and now I am already 22. These past few days this little boy has been going crazy moving around! On Sunday morning, I was watching TV and out of the corner of my eye I saw my belly just moving all around. So that was really cool, for like 5 minutes I was just watching him. I find myself already running out of room in a lot of my clothes haha.

Andy been really working hard in his room. He's almost done sanding and yesterday he put up some new dry wall on the back wall. He's doing a really great job on it. We bought paint on Friday. And now I am looking for carpeting. I'll probably buy furniture within the next few weeks.

Here are my 22 week baby bump pics and what the room looks like now:






Here is what is going on with baby this week:

Guess what? Your baby has finally broken the one-pound mark. How heavy is that? Hold a one-pound box of sugar in your hand the next time you're in the grocery story (and expect people to ask you why you're grinning from ear to ear). Is the box eight inches long? That's about the length your baby is too!

This week, your sweetie is making more sense of the world as he or she develops the sense of touch. In fact, your little one's grip is quite developed by now — and since there's nothing else to grab in utero, he or she may sometimes hold on tight to that umbilical cord (don't worry — it's tough enough to handle it). The sense of sight is also getting more developed. Your fetus can now perceive light and dark much better than before (even with those fused eyelids). But remember — unless you're shining a flashlight over your belly (which you can do, by the way), it'll be mostly dark for your baby inside that cozy womb of yours.

Moving up from the eyes, the eyelashes and eyebrows are well formed now — and even more hair is sprouting atop that cute little head. You'd be quite surprised, though, if you could see your little one up close and in color. Hair at this stage of fetal development has no pigment, so it's bright white
