Bump Day! 22w4d

Its still very surreal to me to even say the words “i’m pregnant”.. But all of a sudden time is flying by. As slow as the first trimester went, this second is going at warp speed. I find myself stressed and anxious and honestly sick to my stomach with worry a lot of the time. I’ve broken down crying to JJ more than a couple times. I’m trying hard to enjoy this time, but sometimes the stress and anxiety are getting to me so much that i feel like i could easily fall into a depression. Thank goodness for those couple poor souls who have had to listen to me vent and cry, JJ included. Other than that, physically i feel great. I’m still walking the dogs at least a mile a day but more often like 2 or 3. I’m still running, short distances and very slow. And i’m still doing yoga. The bump is finally growing and little miss swims around a bunch. Its the coolest, weirdest feeling ever. I first felt her give me a little poke right in the abdomen two days after we found out she was a she. Soft little flutters and pokes slowly became more pronounced movements and J was finally able to feel her from the outside about two weeks after i first felt her on the inside. Now its got me pretty much obsessed. I find myself sitting/laying w my hand on my belly a lot.

Here are my three favorite photos of little miss from our anatomy scan 4 weeks ago. She was much more eager to show us that she was indeed a female than to give us a good 3d image of her face.

you can see in this one her little arms/hands covering her little face. its pretty crazy. 

 

i had another appt today with my doctor. Everything is perfect and healthy and normal according to him. My next appt in four weeks is my glucose test which i’m a little nervous about. Mostly because i want all the sugar all the time. I’ve always had a pretty severe sweet tooth. Nothing has changed there. lol
