How Far Along: 22 weeks! 

Size of baby: A papaya. It sounds like you have developed eyes and your lips.. wow, it's so incredible. 

Sleep: Pretty good. But I am tired a lot though during the day. I'll have certain spurts of energy, but I think I need more iron.. 

Total Weight Gain: Feel really big! And I still have so much more to go. I've gained about 13 pounds. 

Symptoms: Itchy belly (starting to use lotion called MaMa Bee Lotion by Burt's Bees) which helps with the growing. Feet starting to feel bigger. Definitely showing now!

Movement: You're moving! I love it when you move. Makes me feel like everything is going so well in there and you are swimming along as you should be. 

Maternity Clothes: UGG, outfits are starting to be much harder to find. Especially for work. I haven't done any shopping, but maybe I need to come up with more outfits during the weekend, so I don't have to think about it every morning, because it's getting tough. And it's suppose to be 100 degrees this week. Yikes! I better get ready for being huge and pregnant and hot all summer long.. 

Go-to eats: Hungry hippo! Still have a sweet tooth and hungry all the time, but drinking "beet juice" at work (contains lots of iron and folic acid) and still think about being healthy, but man I eat now. ;)

Best moment of the week: Telling work about you! Yippee. So still don't just want to tell everyone, but told my team last week at our meeting and everyone was really supportive and it was a big relief getting that off my chest. Also it was mother's day yesterday.  So we got lots of attention from family. Everyone is SO excited for your arrival. Brian and I were even included in the mother's day staircase annual picture! What an honor :)

Gender: Girl, and getting more and more excited by the day about having a baby girl. We are going to have so much fun together!

Workout: Better this week.. went swimming, did cardio. I was at UC Berkeley and literally was climbing hills all over campus. Had a garage sale last Saturday (nesting!) and lifted and moved things around. So I was definitely active this week.

What I’m looking forward to: Getting your room together and finishing our "nesting". We also might start our remodel soon. So would LOVE to get this started and finished before you arrive.

Milestones and stressors: Having our garage sale, probably need to have a few more this summer before we can get rid of everything, but it was a great start. Another milestone is work knows about you... WHEW, that was so nice. But still feel like I shouldn't be wearing tight tops yet. Since a lot of people still don't know. Might announce you soon on social media too..
