22 Weeks

Here is a picture of me at 22 weeks, and a picture of a baby's development at 22 weeks (And no, it's not my baby). I can't believe yet another week has passed! I'm feeling great, besides the occassional upset from the prenatal still. It's the main thing that is continuing to make me sick off and on. I really don't like those prenatal pills! I just happen to one of the lucky ones who has a really sensitive body or stomach! I feel a lot more tired than I used to in the mornings, and it doesn't take much during the day to wear me out. But overall, I'd still say I'm feeling great, and in good spirits! Can you believe how big my stomach is now?? I love it!

I have a friend who just had a baby boy this morning!! Can't wait to meet him on Saturday. And I just found out another friend of mine is pregnant! Exciting times!

I found some interesting facts about the baby's development by 22 weeks:

• Your baby's senses are developing daily. The fetus now has a full complement of neurons in the brain and is learning about her body and surroundings through touch. Touch is one of the first senses to mature and your baby may stroke its face or feel her arms and legs. (Our baby moved her hands around a lot, and had her hands around her face during both the 20 week and 21 week ultrasound)


• The ovaries of female fetuses contain primitive egg cells, all of the eggs a woman will have for her entire life. The uterus of female fetuses is also fully formed.
