22 Weeks

Here is my belly at 22 weeks with Liv in it. It's growing!

Update on my pregnancy. I thought I would go over the "fun parts" of being pregnant. So here we go...

First Trimester

  • Vomiting
  • Constant Nausea
  • Days I wasn't nauseous I was starving, and I mean starving!
  • Waking up to pee a lot
  • Exhaustion, always needing to sleep
  • Worrying about eating/doing the wrong thing and hurting my baby

Second Trimester

  • Leg Cramps (which I never had before and actually hurt pretty bad)
  • Waking up throughout the night (I don't know why)
  • Getting a little moody, sorry Brodie
  • Getting tired faster than usual
  • Worrying about everything
  • Sore bum, I know weird
  • Hands go numb often

So far those have been the hard parts of pregnancy but I have still loved it!

The Best Parts

  • Telling family and friends the great news!
  • Dreaming about your little baby
  • Guessing if it will be a boy or girl
  • Seeing the Ultrasound! My favorite thing ever! I wish I could watch her all the time!
  • Finding out if it is a boy or girl and telling everyone
  • Shopping for cute baby clothes
  • Baby Showers! So much fun!
  • Nesting- I love it. I have gotten things done that I have put off for years, literally!
  • Brodie being excited to be a Dad! I love it when he talks to my belly. He's so cute!
  • People worrying about me and my baby. It's nice to know others are concerned about us.
  • Eating more than usual.
  • Gaining weight and knowing it is ok.
  • Deciding on a baby name

I can't wait to see the exciting new adventure of the third trimester and labor! Hopefully everything goes smooth!

Hey Ashley and Brodie! We (Allison & Adam Moon) haven't seen you guys in forever, but are soooo excited for you and the new baby! I definitely can see you guys with a little girl and they are so fun- especially when they are a daddy's girl and to watch them. Who would have thought Adam and Brodie would be dads to girls one day! Congrats!
