Pregnancy Update

22 Weeks and 4 days....


I absolutely love being pregnant! Every night I get really excited to go to bed because that's the time Tyler and I can feel Braxton move the most! I think it is the neatest thing in the world to feel! We will just lay there in bed and watch my stomach twitch or we will just hold our hands on my belly for so long just so we don't miss anything! Tyler still thinks it's not fair that he can't feel him like I can! I keep reassuring him that he will soon get to feel bigger movements (Hope that's true since I am only telling him this because I have heard it from others) I still think its one of the major rewards a women gets and deserves through this whole adventure! Braxton is getting more and more active and the movements are becoming more defined! Saturday morning we think he had the hiccups. My stomach looked like it was twitching every 1-2 seconds. It was so much fun to watch. I just kept laughing.

I day dream about him all day, just wondering what he is going to look like and be like. Both ultra sounds I have had he has just been so mellow and I have even had orange juice just 30 mins before each ultra sound (this is suppose to get them moving I have heard) So it will be fun to see his little personality once he is here and see if he is as mellow and relaxed as he has been! I am planning on this little attitude though only because every time we rub or poke on my belly he kicks back! just once. I am pretty sure he is telling us to quit it!

My body is starting to swell and I had to put the wedding ring away this morning! I am in love with my ring and did not want to take any chances with it. I have heard stories where they have had to be cut off! So I had to part with it today! Time to hit the stores and find me a fake one! I can't go 4 1/2 more months with out one! I just didn't think it would be this early that I would have to put it away!
I feel like I am growing and inch a day, I guess if I am growing he is as well and that means he is a healthy little boy. The changes have been so much fun and so rewarding! Time is still dragging a little. I am getting so anxious to meet this little guy and just hold him. A lot of my friends have just recently had their babies and It has made me that much more anxious as I watch them with there little ones! I still have a lot to do so I am glad I have time, and I am excited to spend the summer playing with my cute husband and spending as much alone time with him as I can before this little guy joins our family.
