How far along? 22 Weeks
Gender: Boy
Total weight gain/loss: 15 lbs+
Maternity clothes? Yep! Mostly maternity bottoms and my normal tops (just a size up!) and now that the weather is finally getting nicer, I definitely feel less dumpy and frumpy.
Stretch marks? Nope! Still going strong on the cocoa butter.
Sleep: Sleep is good. Baby boy is super active at night so his little fist pumps and karate kicks sometimes make it hard for me to sleep; truthfully I want to stay awake so I can keep hanging out with my little guy.
Best moment this week: We were in Ottawa this past weekend for our niece`s 1st birthday and it was so lovely to be with my family, even though it was a short visit. My mom felt little dude kick a few times; it was so wonderful! Oh, and I drove our standard car around the city and drove almost halfway back to Toronto. Four years later, I drove our car. I am one step away from being confident enough to drive all over the city and never have to take public transit again, hallelujah!
Have you told family and friends: Yes!
Miss Anything? Um. YES. My ability to think normally. Not even lying a little bit, I literally can`t remember where I put things or what I was just talking about. I drove my husband crazy on our car ride to Ottawa; I was calling left, right and being a complete airhead. I felt so bad. I don`t think I`ve apologized and laughed (and almost cried because of the ridiculousness) so much in my life. I`m definitely a big preggo dummy. Ha!
Movement: Yep! Yep! Yep! So much!
Food cravings: Milk. Frozen blueberries (but I learned my lesson to never eat them in the workplace; purple mouth ALL DAY!). Sushi. Kronenberg Blanc beer (I feel like this won`t change until I enjoy one later this summer). And I would kill for a diet pepsi with a lot of fresh lime. Literally, kill.
Have you started to show yet: Yep!
Labor Signs: Nope!!
Belly Button in or out? In. Phew.
Wedding rings on or off? On!
Happy or Moody most of the time: SO happy. Probably the happiest I have ever been in my whole life.
Looking forward to: Decorating the nursery and springtime!! And baseball season.
This past weekend, we were in Ottawa for Aria`s 1st birthday party; it was a very short and sweet visit. I can`t believe she is a one year old! I feel time has flown by; I remember being by my sister`s side when she delivered sweet Aria Marie like it was yesterday. She is such a sweetheart; her giggles and smiles melt my heart. Ugh, I can`t get enough of her. 
I also scored some amazing baby stuff from my sister; it`s starting to feel really real. Having newborn diapers around (which smell amazing!) is so comforting and wonderful. To think that our little baby boy will be here before we know it and wearing those little diapers makes me so so so so very excited (and so very nervous!).
I`m so looking forward to the weekend! Hubs and I are having our wonderful friends (and their incredibly cute son Hudson) over for dinner and hubs is making his AMAZING fish tacos. They`re out of this world delicious. AND I have Sunday brunch plans with my girlfriends. Brunch is my most favourite meal so I am ecstatic.
Have a wonderful weekend lovelies!
XO
