22 weeks!

How far along?: 22 weeks!

How big is baby?: a small watermelon... except Cecelia is longer than she is round, so watermelon is probably the wrong image!

Stretch marks?: they are sprouting up, but i barely notice anymore

Maternity clothes?: yup!

Sleep?: I haven't been sleeping very good lately! i feel my good sleeping patterns were very short lived!

Food cravings?: i had a dream last night about fried chicken, woke up and was about to ask Kel to go get me some when i realized everywhere that sells good fried chicken is closed.... so i went back to bed and literally dreamed some more of eating fried chicken!

Movement?: lots of it! usually during the day and rarely at night- which is AWESOME! i hope that pattern stays!

 Gender?: BABY GIRL!!!!!!! Cecelia Grace Robson

Belly button?: barely there!
 
What are you looking forward to this week?: well i am excited to OFFICIALLY be out of the "danger zone." After 22 weeks a baby is developed enough that if anything happens the chances of them surviving go up each week. There is officially no more chance of miscarriage, just having a premature baby and health defects. However i am stilol beign super careful, it's just good to know that if anything goes wrong they can get Cecelia out and each week her chances get better and better! Plus it's nice to be past the halfway point. However before August seemed like SO FAR AWAY and like we had tons of time to plan for everything, and not August feel like it's SO CLOSE! especially since the doctor wants us to take all the birthing classes, etc, in June because of enrollment and due date questions. There's a chance that my Due Date (Aug. 17th) could be off by 2 weeks in either directions, so either August 6th or August 26th work as my alternative due dates. So she wants me to be prepared stating August 1st for anything and there is NO WAY they would let me go past August 30th. So the entire month just got blacked out in my calendar.
