This is week 22 already!! I can't believe it and boy is my tummy growing. I officially look like I have a little volleyball in front of me...People I know have been rubbing and kissing my belly (over shirt) all the time now... I have been wearing low rise maternity jeans, but I bought my first pair of full panel maternity flare jeans and they are soooooo comfortable!!!!
This week I read that about the swollen feet and ankles/pregnancy edema...it happens because of the relaxin, the pregnancy hormone that is loosening the ligaments and joints in my pelvis to push Gia out LOL! Relaxin can make feet loosen and spread.. so, time for new shoes?? LOL My uterus is about a inch above my belly button and is growing... growing... growing.. which can turn my "innie belly button" to an "outie."
Gia is finally over 1 pound! Her little eyelashes and eyebrows are now formed and hair is now growing on her head. But, her hair on her head is bright white right now because there is no pigment yet at this stage of her development, no doubt it will turn dark! Gia has also developed her sense of touch and her sight sense is getting more developed. Gia is kicking away but sleeps for 12-14 hours, so I was told to pay attention as to when she kicks because that might mean that she is awake...I am so in love with that feeling.
Sal and I went to a "Future Parent" show/class this weekend and it was awesome, we learned so much, it was a bit long to sit through at the end, but well worth it. Then we went to Honey Bears because "Gia" felt like short ribs with that delicious Honey Bear's sauce. Sal just asks Gia what she wants to eat now, he always says, "I am no longer in charge!" We are off into week 22!!
