Diary of a Fit mommy

Pregnancy: 22 Weeks Bump Update

This week we had a doctor appointment for our baby and we all went together as a family. We got to see our baby move and even yawn! He was sooooo cute and was growing very well. My son got to feel him kick for the very first time which was awesome. This past weekend I took the kids to the foley train museum something we used to do all the time. It was nice to recreate old memories especially with this little guy on the way. I cannot believe this pregnancy is over halfway over!

How far along? 22 weeks

Baby size: a spaghetti squash

Total weight gain: 12bs – 140lbs currently

Maternity clothes? Sometimes.

Stretch marks? No

Sleep: Sleep was well for the most part but for some reason I have been having vivid dreams again.

Workouts: Workouts are still normal. Just no stomach lying positions anymore.

Diet: This week I enjoyed local ice cream that actually left me craving more! It had berries and pie crust pieces in it. This baby LOVES fruit.

Best moment this week:  My son feeling his brother kick for the first time. Getting to see our baby on ultrasound at our monthly appointment. He was growing beautifully.

Miss anything? Lying on my belly comfortably to sleep. Still waiting on my new pregnancy pillow!

Food cravings: FRUIT.

Anything making you queasy or sick? No.

Gender:  a BOY! 🙂

Labour signs: No!

Symptoms: Braxton Kicks occuring all the time. I actually had some last for like an hour which was a bit concerning but normal I guess.

Belly button in or out? In! It never popped out the last 2 times.

Wedding rings on or off: On.

Notes:

I found out I was pregnant at just 3 weeks of pregnancy after we did our frozen embryo transfer. If you haven’t followed my IVF journey, check out my frozen embryo transfer blog and my egg retrieval blog. Long story short, my husband was infertile due to the structure of his reproductive system-his vas deferens were missing so IVF was the only way and it worked the first try!

I have not been pregnant in 8 years almost so it is wild that I am doing it all over again and hope to do it only fourth and final time in another two-three years. Wish us luck and love! I will be doing these pregnancy progression bump updates weekly so you can “grow” with me along with a bump photo + questions about my pregnancy.

Your trainer and friend,
