Week 22


Emile felt our little guy kick this week (21 weeks 4 days).  He's definitely a mover.  He kicks, rolls and punches constantly.  Drinking water or juice makes him even more active.  I can see him kicking and definitely feel his body parts pushing out. 

My belly is very hard and feels stretched a lot, especially as the day goes on.  It's hard to picture that I'll have room as he gets even bigger, even though I've done this two times already.  I'm starting to have a hard time sleeping - have to move around a lot and now that I'm getting bigger I have to get up to use the bathroom more often.  I also struggle to bend over now.

I bought our first set of newborn boy clothes last weekend.  I think the little jogging sets and pants and button up shirts are so cute.

Our baby is probably close to a pound, has a crown-to-rump length of about 7 2/3 inches, and is very thin but very developed. His eyelids and eyebrows are now formed, and the brain begins rapid growth. His testes have begun their descent from the pelvis to the scrotum.
