22 weeks pregnant

My body: I keep reading how my belly is not big enough to get in the way yet and how standing up should not be a problem…well I beg to differ. I am sure it is because of the way I am shaped, but I definitely think it is more difficult to get up and down than it used to be. Also, I forget that I have this new belly and will try to “squeeze” through spaces like I used to…well that isn’t possible any longerJ Other than that, things are pretty uneventful. I think I have developed a case of nesting syndrome because all I can think about is getting things done around the house. You would think this would be a plus for Jonathan, but I have written up a rather lengthy “to do before baby” list. Some things I am just not capable of doing at this point in my pregnancyJ. We go tomorrow (Friday) for an ultrasound and I can’t wait. I will post pictures of the little guy or girl next week!
The baby: Length: 11 inches
Size- About the size of a large banana.
Weight- Almost 1 pound!

Interesting facts:.” His lips, eyelids, and eyebrows are becoming more distinct, and he's even developing tiny tooth buds beneath his gums. His eyes have formed, but his irises (the colored part of the eye) still lack pigment. If you could see inside your womb, you'd be able to spot the fine hair (lanugo) that covers his body and the deep wrinkles on his skin, which he'll sport until he adds a padding of fat to fill them in. Inside his belly, his pancreas — essential for the production of some important hormones — is developing steadily.”
What’s going on with us: We did register this week, but it is a work in progress. We spent almost 3 hours at Babies ‘R’ Us and that was about all we could handle. If you are curious about the items we registered for, feel free to visit the registry at http://www.toysrus.com/registry/index.jsp. In other news…I forgot to mention last week that we celebrated 2 of my sibling’s birthdays recently. Abby turned 22 and Brady turned 24. I can’t believe how old we all are. We celebrated all together at Benihanas, but had individual gatherings for each of them. This last weekend, Jonathan and I celebrated our nephew Alex’s 1st birthday. I was unable to go, but Jonathan said it was very nice for him. He reported back that the apartment was beautifully decorated and that he enjoyed a delicious dinner. I couldn’t help but get him interactive books, againJ I can’t help it…I am a teacher and I just love good books!
