22 Weeks

According to babycenter.com, our little guy is almost 11 inches long and weighs almost a pound. I believe it! I feel like he has really hit a growth spurt the last week or so. It is becoming much harder to get off the couch or out of bed...I am resorting to doing a sort of half roll to get back on my feet. My back is also killing me right about now which I think is just from him growing so fast and pressing down on stuff in there. My body is still trying to get used to him. I understand now when women say your body doesn't belong to you when you are pregnant!

Babycenter.com also talk about stretch marks this week and how you can get them on not only your belly but your hips, thighs, breasts and rear. Fantastic. I am going to be smelling like cocoa butter for the next 4 1/2 months so no one accuse me of moonlighting as a stripper!

On another exciting note, our friends Brandon and Brigette found out yesterday that they are also having a boy! Brigette is due 2 weeks after me and she actually found out she was pregnant before I did. Turns out when we had dinner with them in Charleston in June, we were both pregnant and didn't know it! It was a good thing that we were more interested in dessert than alcohol that night, I guess that should have been a sign, eh?
