22 Weeks

22 weeks 4 days

Wow....how amazing is technology? We had another sneak peek at our little "stinker" during our 22 week ultrasound. It was so cool to see how much the baby has grown and developed. I was a little anxious because of my profession...I know a little too much. I was praying all would be normal developing for our baby at this point in the pregnancy. We have been through so much already and just wanted all to be ok. My prayers were answered! The nurse said everything looked perfect at this point and all things checked out. She told us to close our eyes during one part because we might have been able to figure out the baby's sex. It was driving Josh crazy!!! He was bribing the nurse to tell him :). She does know what the sex is.....ahh the suspense.

Our little "piggy"

Can you see the baby yawning? (press play)

The baby weighs 1 lb 4 oz, heartbeat was 148bpm, and is in the 60th percentile for weight. The baby was SO cute as "he" was yawning and kept drinking the amniotic fluid while stetching out those arms and legs. (see video above and below). The nurse was amazed at how much the baby was drinking! We have a little piggy on our hands :). I was measuring a few days early, but not enough to change my due date. I checked out fine with blood pressure and weight gain. My only complaint would have to be back pain. You think I would be able to help that one considering I am a physical therapist! Ahh the joys of pregnancy. Again, this whole process is such a miracle and I feel so blessed to be apart of this journey. Despite all it took to get pregnant...I would not change a thing. I truly feel that Josh and I will appreciate this miracle of life more than we might have before this journey. Every moment and experience I am cherishing....despite the aches and pains!

Still drinking.....

Do you think the baby takes after dad? :)

On a side note....my younger sister Tammy got engaged to her boyfriend Brian! They are planning on getting married next August! There are so many wonderful things to look forward to in the next year. We could not be happier for them and to accept Brian into our family. Now I have 2 weddings to get in shape for after the baby!!
