Hello. Where has the time gone. The last time I posted I was 17 weeks and I seriously feel like that was just a few days ago, alas I am now 22 weeks along. Crazy sauce I tell you! Last week B and I and Kiwi went to see the baby at the ultra sound. This was to check to make sure all babies' organs were doing what they are suppose to do. I however have to go back in a months time to re-do some of the checks because baby would not hold still long enough to get a clear picture, (mostly of the heart - which is a big concern in my eyes because of some of the issues my friends and family have had as of lately with their little ones). They gave me the option of re-doing it and I chose yes just to ease my mind. We did find out the gender but we will not be revealing what it is as of yet. We want to be able to share it with our immediate family first. When we announced we were pregnant it got leaked out of the "family circle" somehow and it was crushing to me to find out others knew our secret before we got to share our own news. After telling some cousins about our news one had told us that they already knew because so and so had told them a long time ago. This made me sad to tell you the truth. I even had ladies coming up to me in church (that I had never really talked to before) congratulating me and it was like, um, thanks, who are you and who told you? I guess I'm just sensitive to it because it's something I would like to share on my own time and not have others share it for me. I try to really keep it under wraps when others tell me their news because it's their news to share and I guess I would just appreciate the same type of courtesy.
Rant over.
Today I was thinking about my grandparents. I went outside to hang the "please don't ring the bell, baby sleeping" sign on the doorbell when I looked into the flower bed. There are daffodils already open and they look so pretty. I remembered going to my grandparents' house and after each visit in the summer my Grandpa would cut us each a rose to take home. He had an amazing rose garden of at least 7 types of roses. I love this memory. It always made me feel so special.
22 week update:
Cravings: Anything sour (green apples is a favourite and pink lemonade)
Maternity wear: Not yet
Gender guess: I think boy(I'm going with my guess pre-screening we'll have to wait to see if I was right or wrong)
Mood: Extremely moody - all over the place
Sleep: Sleep insomnia - wake up to pee takes 1-2 hours to get back to sleep. (This may explain the moodiness)
Movement: Does it ever stop moving? It's one hyper active child
Different than the last time?: Yes and No. I'm not sick this time around and the baby is just as hyper as Kiwi was
