So, I'm 22.5 weeks along! Here's some sono pictures from our 20 week sono a couple of weeks ago. Little girl is looking great! She is measuring around the 40-50th percentiles, all of her body parts look perfectly formed (thank you, Jesus!).
I'm hopeful that with her more-normal growth percentiles, that I won't have gestational diabetes this time (Lucy was measuring in the 90-95th percentiles at this point in my pregnancy before I knew I had gestational diabetes). Time will tell (at 28 weeks, actually!) when I get to take the oh-so-lovely glucose tolerance test. :)
Baby girl has become pretty active over the past week or so- she is giving me some really strong kicks through out the day, and just today, I could feel some body part sticking out a little bit when she moved. I LOVE the kicking and moving- such a sweet feeling! She was really active after I had Chipotle yesterday at work, so maybe she likes Mexican food!
Not gonna lie, the past 6 weeks or so has been hard- we've been battling illness left and right it seems- Lucy got the flu right before Halloween, so we all got on Tamiflu, then Mike and I either got the flu (minus the fever and chills) or got some other viral illness that caused us to have terrible upper-respiratory tract infections, so I ended up on antibiotics. Then, I either got food poisoning or a stomach bug and was sick the week before Thanksgiving, which left me feeling really weak for about 5 days (finally got my appetite back after Thanksgiving), then we all got another round of colds. 'Tis the season, I suppose, especially with Lucy in school twice a week and church nursery. We are on the up-hill mend, I think, so I've been feeling more like myself the past couple of days.
Ok, so, back to the pictures....

| 22.5 weeks! I get comments all the time about how big I look to only be 22 weeks. I just think there's not a lot of room for my belly to grow taller, it just has to go out. I was like this with Lucy- just was really big most of the time! |

So glad to hear everything is going well with little miss! She seems to be thriving even with all your sickness! You poor thing. Here's hoping you will be 100% healthy the rest of your pregnancy! You're so super cute I can hardly stand it.
