22 Weeks

How far along: 22 Weeks
Total weight gain: I am hoping I've gained a couple more pounds in the last few weeks. I will find out for sure at my doctor appointment next week.
Maternity clothes: I've got a few maternity shirts that I mix in with my regular tops. I am still wearing my regular bottoms with either a hair tie or belly band.
Stretch marks: Nothing
Sleep: I can only sleep a couple hours at a time. No matter which direction I lay my arms seem to fall asleep after a couple hours. The little one also loves to have a dance party at bedtime so it makes it difficult to fall asleep.
Best moment this week: The best is also one of the worst. School is starting up again, and while I am glad to be back working with kids I am really not ready for summer to end.
Miss anything: I am getting past my longing for turkey lunchmeat...but it has been tough.
Movement: Lots of punching and kicking going on. James has even felt baby move a couple of times.
Food cravings: No crazy cravings recently, but I have started drinking Dr. Pepper occasionally again.
Anything making you queasy or sick: No foods are making me sick, but Mexican has not sounded super appealing lately.
Have you started to show: I've got a pretty decent bump.
Gender predictions:  I had a dream the baby is a boy.    James had a dream the baby is a throw rug.
Labor signs: Nothing
Belly button in or out: in
Wedding rings on or off: on
Happy or moody most of the time: Happy!
Looking forward to: Cooler weather!!! 100 degrees in a non-air conditioned school is not working for me.

Anatomy Ultrasound

Although we are only 19 weeks, we had our "20 week" Anatomy Ultrasound today. Baby behaved well and the sonographer was able to get pictures of all the important parts. 

Baby's cute little profile. You can see top of the head, nose, and lips.

Baby's shins and a little foot. 

Baby is doing very well. Everything looks great. We could have found out the sex today, but James and I have decided to keep it a surprise until the little one's birthday. I still have a feeling Baby Doyle is a boy, but James thinks pink is in our future. I guess we'll have to wait and see!
