Can you believe how long it’s been since the last post?! Geez. So sorry to everyone who’s been waiting with bated breath for the lastest updates from the Williams household…although the only person who probably reads our blog is my mom and I’m sure even she’s given up on an update by now. : )
Well, the latest news (not really news news anymore) is that we’re having a baby! Hurrah! And a sweet little girl at that. I wanted to wait until my new website was completed before resuming posting, but there will be too much news and updates to share to wait for that.
I’ve just hit the 22 week mark in the pregnancy and I thought I would fill out a fun little survey each week to document how things are coming along. So let’s get started!
- How far along: 22 weeks – over halfway done growing our little bean.
- How big is the baby: They say it’s around the size of a papaya. Holy cow. And we’ve got to get all the way to the size of a watermelon?!
- Total weight gain/loss: Yes, there’s been gain. let’s leave it at that.
- Stretch marks: Um, yes. I hold grudges against anyone who did not experience this during pregnancy.
- Best moment this week: Being told our offices would be closed on Friday for a snow day so I can stay in and keep me and the little bean warm and toasty.
- Food cravings: Hot wing sauce. And ice cream. And watermelon. And Chili’s Chicken Ranch Sandwiches (which I’ve perfected at home.)
- Gender: GIRL!
- Labor signs: Nope.
- Belly button in or out: In.
- Current mood: Is hungry a mood? : )
- What I miss: Sleeping through the night without taking 3+ bathrooms breaks.
- What I am looking forward to: Eating dinner.
- Milestones: I had my first lightheaded/dizzy spell this morning. It was slightly scary and I considered calling someone to drive me to the hospital. And I’m not usually one to dramatize medical situations.
And there you have it. 22 weeks in a nutshell. Oh, and we have a name for our lovely new addition: Tessa Jane. Next time I will post pictures! Promise!
