Bean Bumpdate: 22 Weeks

The weeks are flying by! I am trying to cherish every moment of this pregnancy because it will soon be over.

22 Weeks:

What's New: Contractions :) Just minor ones-basically my body's way of telling me to slow it down and drink more water!
Those sweet baby kicks have turned into full-on punches and rolls. Loving every one of them!

What's Old: Blood Draws :(
So...during my first pregnancy, I found out I have an anti-M antibody. It's weird, and I won't even try to explain. At this point, it just warrants some extra monitoring. I have been seeing a high risk doctor to keep up with things. During both pregnancies, the antibody was so weak that they couldn't even titer it. This week, we discovered it has become stronger-now a 1:2 ratio. We continue to monitor...and that means more and more needle sticks.

Baby: Size of a Papaya- Sonographer measured 1 pound! Sleeping in cycles-about 12-14 hours daily.
       Gender: Even after all of these extra scans (at the high risk doc) we 
           have still not found out! Be proud :) Heart rate= 150

Belly: I think a growth spurt has occurred this week! I am feeling very 'full' :)
      Craving: Doritos and Lemon Sorbet
