Week 22

Getting back in the swing of things now that the holidays are over, which means back to work. Blah... But on the bright side, we're another week down! :) This week baby is the size of a.....

What's Baby Up To? 

• She has more developed eyes, lips, and eyebrows and is looking more like a newborn.
  
• She is sleeping in cycles - about 12 to 14 hours per day! (She seems like she's been more sleepy now that I'm back at school... I don't blame her! Listening to me teach algebra 4 times a day can't be too exciting! ) 
  
• Her brain is growing and starting to develop more complex neurological connections. Maybe she's retaining a little of the algebra! ;) 
  
• She can now hear my heartbeat and the sound of mommy and daddy's voices! 
  
• Her fingernails have grown and now cover her fingertips.
  

How's Mama? 
Finally looking pregnant! My bump is pretty visible in clothing now and tonight before getting in the shower I was pretty much in awe of my belly! Being pregnant suddenly feels crazy real once your baby bump starts to take shape! And since I feel like I finally have something to show, I even snapped a bump pic for you guys this morning!

It looks bigger in person I think, but just to give you an idea! ;)

We have our next doctor's appointment on Friday! Should be a pretty low key one this time, but it's always nice to check up on baby girl and hear her heartbeat! Looking forward to it! 

18 more weeks to go! :)
