She's going to be a dancer!

This girl has been busy the last week! Her kicks and punches to my bladder, cervix, and various other organs have been weird but amazing to feel. Just this morning I felt her from the outside, which Chris has been DYING to feel! Feeling when she's awake and asleep has really helped me bond with our nameless baby.

Onward and outward! My belly button has started making the great escape to the outside...poor thing won't stand a chance in a few weeks!

Still no cravings, no heartburn, no sickness, no nothing except giant tumor belly. Oh, except for the leg cramps. I can deal with those, though. I should be a professional baby maker the way things are going! Hoping this trend continues!

22 weeks on the nose:

I wanted to add this picture of our sweet girl taken at our anatomy scan. She's already cute, swear.

Half Baked!

It's a GIRL! We couldn't be more excited! Chris and I both thought it would be a boy, but we've switched gears and are thinking pink these days. It turns out that every first child on the Ducharme side back to who knows when is a girl, so we really shouldn't have been surprised!

No names yet, so feel free to suggest your own, as everyone else has done. ; )

After spending a lot of time on my feet this weekend for my sister's wedding (dress mostly fit!), I have come to the realization that it is becoming increasingly difficult to do all of the things I used to do...like stand for hours at a time. I need to build sitting time into my schedule every day, and it's really hard to accept! Other than that, I'm still feeling really good! No cravings to report, besides maybe carbonated drinks. I can't get enough! I even put Sprite in my juice to make it fizzy. Mmmm!

And here she is, in all her 19w6d glory! Growth is really going to pick up from here on out, woohoo!
