22 weeks

I love this week’s pregnancy picture because of who I get to share it with (and I’m not referring to Daisy)!!!

My sweet friend Heather is due with her baby BOY almost exactly 1 month before our baby BOY… so these two buddies could potentially be just a few weeks apart!  She just needs to go late and I’ll go early.  Sounds good to me!  ;)  Heather lives allllllll the way in N.C. so even though we are far apart it is so fun to be going through this together!

Heather has been here visiting and we had fun registering for her little guy.  It’s hard to believe Chris and I are heading back into the phase of bottles and burp cloths! 

Here’s a progression of my ‘bump’ growth since 16 weeks.  I knew I was feeling bigger, but these pictures really PROVE it!  ha!  I think the uncomfortable stage is going to come a bit earlier than it did the first time around.  :)

We have not made too much head-way in the name-game department, but we’re working on it.  Not sure yet if we’re going to give clues or not. 

As far as pregnancy stuff goes I continue to have weird and vivid dreams!  SO strange!  I am not really craving specific foods, just when something sounds good I want it RIGHT then and there.  I love feeling baby boy kick and move throughout the day.  In the morning I always ‘wake’ him when I have to make an early trip to the bathroom.  As I try to snuggle back in bed he’s wide awake and moving around.  I feel like this pregnancy is lower than Asher, maybe that’s why I am feeling like I’m perpetually looking for a restroom.  :)  I always feel a little bit guilty when people ask me how I’m feeling – I know some women have REALLY difficult pregnancies.  I’m just not one of them.  Asher’s pregnancy was a breeze, and so far this one is going along really well, too!  Maybe that’s my trade-off for 9 lb babies!!  ;)

Finally, I’m a pretty emotional person normally so pregnancy hormones really do a number on me!  I cry very easily these days (just ask my husband).  Thankfully I mostly cry over sweet things like if there is a cute story on the news or in church I get teary-eyed.  These tears are also extended to tv shows and commercials.  And there is one particular commercial that makes me cry every. single. time.  When it comes on Chris starts to laugh and looks over at me because he knows there are about to be water-works.  So here you go, enjoy!  Happy Tears!  :)
