22 weeks

How far along: 22 weeks  (3.6.10)
Total weight gain/loss: +11 or 12 lbs... yikes!
Maternity clothes?: i'm gonna stop guessing on how much longer i can hold out.  i'm still surviving.
Stretch marks?: yes.  and i don't like this question just fyi.
Sleep: pretty good.  had a dream that chris and i were playing with our baby (except it was the little one year old boy i nanny for) and we were the happiest people in the world.  our kid would do normal things and we thought it was just incredible.  i was just in awe that it was OUR baby and was so overwhelmed with joy.  i like the good dreams!  ;-)
Best moment this week: eating dinner with at sarah and harry's.  i ate two huge plates of pasta and actually got full!  and then i had two of the most amazing crepes ever with nutella, powdered sugar, bananas (a little), strawberries, and whipped cream out of a can.  IT WAS HEAVENLY and i have been fantasizing about it ever since!!!
Movement: she was moving around a lot during church on sunday and this week i've been able to feel her quite a bit during the day.  only if i'm sitting down though.
Food cravings:  still sweets... and now i'll be craving crepes.  i'm scared of how fast i'm gaining weight but i LOVE loving food!  it was only less than two months ago that i despised food.  wow, it seems like forever ago!
Gender: GIRL!
What I miss: being able to bend over without looking like i'm eighty years old.
Theme:  the week of being so overwhelmingly tired.
Extra:  i have been so beyond tired this week.  friday i sat down to do some crocheting to help pass the time and keep myself awake and keep my hands busy (to keep myself from eating constantly) and i remember i was crocheting and then i stopped to stare out the window and then i was daydreaming a little and then i think i let myself close my eyes for a few seconds and then it was exactly one hour later and i didn't even know what hit me!  really, i'm terrified about how the rest of this pregnancy is going to go if i'm this tired at 22 weeks.  also equally terrified about how big my stomach is and how fast i'm gaining weight.  at the rate things are going there will be a little TOO much action between now and 40 weeks!
