So here I am, halfway through week 22. I have another doctor’s appointment tomorrow. I know they’re only once a month, but they seem like they’re every week and a half or two! I guess once I start going that often, it’s just going to see like I’m there every day! I don’t really mind, though. We get to hear her heartbeat, and that’s always a welcome sound. (I do a great impression, by the way!)
Still not much to report in regards to symptoms, size, or anything else. I still feel great, and and still not really showing. I have started to develop a little bit of a tummy, but I still don’t look like someone who’s 5 1/2 months along already!
We bought the crib and changing table this weekend…they are lighter wood than we’d wanted, but as it turns out, it matches the trim and doors in the house (and in her room) almost perfectly. So that’s one less thing we’ll have to paint. Painting should begin next week. Sage green walls. I can’t wait. After that we’ll get the furniture put together and then I’m sure more stuff will just start appearing in there!
I’ve made a conscious effort to not buy much for her yet. I bought her a sleeper with big, bright polka dots on it, and a couple pairs of pants and onsies that are all interchangeable. Anna bought her one, too…super cute. Gotta love Target and their $3 clothing items. 
Other than that and The Little Red Hen, we’ve bought nothing but the furniture. That’s quite an accomplishment! (I’ll go ahead and pat myself on the back…)
A few friends and family members have already given us some things for her. Dad and Mom brought the cutest little Ladybug outfit when they came to visit last weekend…absolutely precious. Can’t wait to see her in it.
I realized the other day that I never started the food diary that I said I was going to. I guess PLANNING on it was enough to get me headed in the right direction. I started exercising again and eating better, and it’s amazing how quickly I feel the good results of that. Awesome!
Anyway, that’s pretty much an update for now. I’ll write more when there’s more to write.
