[22] weeks!

Okay people, here it is, whenever I wasn't pregnant and I heard pregnant women say they felt fat and ugly I would get upset because I think pregnant women are so beautiful and have such a wonderful purpose, carrying and growing a precious life in their belly.. well now that I am pregnant.. I am flippin' trashin' that beautiful speech!!!!  I am so right along with those women!!! I understand that I have to gain weight right now because I'm two in one package, but man my face and my arms are getting chubby and I absolutely hate it. I honestly feel so insecure about taking my weekly pictures because I look so heavy. This post has taken me a little longer to post because I had a complete meltdown! I took the pictures on Monday and I thought I looked so fat that I marched myself down to my room flopped myself onto the bed and baaaaaaawled my eyes out of my head! Sam came to my rescue and hugged me and assured me that I was beautiful and carrying his beautiful baby and all that sweet stuff. Poor guy! He has probably had to deal with more random spurts of crying than he's ever imagined possible. Anyways I didn't use any of those pictures and didn't take another picture until last night, so here it is. I still really dont like it but you know what?! I am going to try to embrace my new-gained chubs and try to remember the beautiful speech my 'not yet pregnant' self made to those beautiful pregnant women!

Choosing to wear my bump PROUD!

How far along? 22 weeks

Total weight gain: at least 4 m&m McFlurry's worth....

Maternity clothes? YEP. Almost only maternity, I need to go shopping, those flowy shirts I was talking about last week... yeah.. not cuttin it.

Stretch Marks? on the girls and the thighs. :/ bummer dude.

Sleep: Ehh. My back hurts a lot and I find myself waking up a lot, I miss stomach sleeping!!!

Best moment this week: My mom got to feel Lilliana kick, that was pretty special!

Miss anything? Just being able to sleep on my stomach and paint my toes without cutting off my air supply.

Movement: She is starting to be really really active! She was moving and squirming all morning! It is really cool because this morning Sam was talking to her and as soon as he would talk she would start moving. She definitely knows her daddy's voice! 

Food cravings: m&m or oreo McFlurrys', Pizza, and fruit!

Anything making you queasy or sick: No Sir!

Labor Signs: Nope! Thank the Lord!
