WEEK 22

How many weeks: 22

 how big is baby: size of a spaghetti squash 8 inches and ONE pound

Weight gain: 10 lbs

sleep: Pretty good, I have been taking a miracle pill called Diclegis.  BEST. THING. EVER.

cravings: Licorice ( any kind) Baked potatoes, lemonade, slurpees

feeling: Good.  Hot, but good.  It's been hot already this summer.  Temps are 90-100 degrees.  I feel like I'm melting.  Trying to prep for baby girl this week.  Cleaned all the carpets, bought her first outfit ( a romper), it's the cutest thing.  I need to move Boston's crib out of his and Mason's room and put it in the nursery/office.  I have been dreading this day... Maybe next week.

gender: GIRL

best moment of the week: We had such a fun weekend.  WE spent Friday night at the zoo for Heath's work party.  Mason got his face painted like a tiger, rode the carousel which he loved, went to the bird show and saw lots of animals.  Saturday we spent the day at surf n swim with Tom and Mark and Sunday was Father's Day so we spoiled Daddy with breakfast in bed and some new clothes.

Worst moment of the week:  Progesterone shot killed this week.  Heath is getting so sick of giving me the shots.  I can't say I blame him..... He gets so nervous every time he has to give one, which is weekly.  They are a pain, but he does a good job and hoping this will help me to carry this babe full term.  How great would that be?

Looking forward to: the weekend!

Random Thoughts: 

-I have been thinking about Boston a lot this week and wondering if him and baby girl are up in heaven together playing and getting to know each other.

- Mason needs to start walking. :). He walks, but only takes 10 or less steps

-trying to stay calm and collected.

IT'S A......

GIRL!!!

We had such a busy exhausting day.  Our appt today was so long and exhausting.  We spent over 2 hours at our appt and decided that we weren't going to find out the gender of our baby until later this evening when we did the gender reveal.  It was so fun, but so hard to wait.  Our US tech wrote the gender on a piece of paper and we took it to the store and had this sweet lady put whatever color balloons for either gender in a box and tape it shut.  We then headed to our house for the big reveal.  I thought for sure it was a boy because I thought I saw the "boy part" on our ultrasound.  I was so wrong.  We are so excited to welcome a baby girl to our family.  She will be the first granddaughter on heaths families side.  We have a lot of work to do to get ready for her, but we can't wait to meet our baby girl later this year.

February brought some good news to our family, REALLY good news actually.  I know Boston had his hands in it.  We found out on February 16 that we were expecting a baby.  Just a few days passed Boston's year angelversary.  This was such happy news during such a hard, dark, tear filled month.  Boston will never be replaced, but we are so excited to bring another baby into our family.  Ever since we found out we were expecting twins we felt like we were somewhat ready for two babies.  We have two babies, just only one baby got to come to this earthly home.  Heath and I both felt like we should have another baby as soon as we felt like it was right.  That feeling came quite fast and of course we found out we were expecting during "Boston's month".  It has been a difficult pregnancy.  Not only physically with morning sickness (more like all day sickness), throwing up multiple times a day, doing progesterone shots weekly (to help keep this baby in as long as possible), long drives to the U of U, emotionally being terrified of delivery and hopefully carrying full term, reminders of being pregnant with my boys, and so much harder being pregnant and having a toddler to take care of. BUT how blessed we feel to have the opportunity to bring another baby into the world.  God is good.
