22 Weeks Today :)

Today I am 22 weeks! Addison is the size of Papaya! Here is what is going on this week:

Real estate within your belly is getting tight, with growing baby leaving little room for your lungs to...well...breathe. Expect the huffing and puffing to start soon. There's not much room for your belly button, either -- it'll pop out any day now.

Baby's settling into sleep cycles, snoozing about 12 to 14 hours a day. It shouldn't be hard to figure out when -- just pay attention to those kicks as they start and stop.

Average size 10{point}5 to 11{point}8 in, 12{point}7 to 20{point}8 oz.

Next Tuesday we have a doctors appointment. Tommy will not be able to go because of his new job so I will have to find someone else to go with me. :( I have also narrowed down the date of the Baby Shower between two weekends. The rest is now up to my sister. I also have to finish registering! Hopefully I can talk Tommy into going this weekend. The sooner we do it the better. :)

This past week(end) has been VERY stressful. One of my very good friends passed away Thursday. On the same day my grandmother's husband, Bill, passed away. We have had people in and out of our house since then, nothing is in the right place and I need a break. Things have calmed down a bit and I am looking forward to a normal(ish) schedule again. 

Prayers . . .

To the Casey family. Their youngest son (and child if I am not mistaken) passed away this morning. He was a very good friend of mine. He was the sweetest person with the biggest heart. The world is not going to be the same without him. :'(

21 Weeks Tomorrow :)

Tomorrow I will be 21 weeks! I wont be able to use the internet so I'll do it a day early! Addison will be the size of a Banana! Here is what is going on this week:

Baby's digestive system is busy creating meconium (a tarry black substance made of swallowed amniotic fluid, digestive secretion, and dead cells), which will fill the first diaper after birth. And, if baby is a girl, her womb is now stocked up with her lifetime supply of six million eggs (the number will drop to around one million by birth).

Average size 10{point}5 in, 12{point}7 oz.

Addison likes the quiet! She is now big enough for Tommy to feel it when she kicks! :) We have decided she will have a Pretty Pink Princess room! :)

We had a blast visiting with the family from out of town! Cant wait until they move closer to home!

Tommy got a job in Corrections! It has pretty good hours, pay and benefits! We are excited!

I did sell some jewelry! :) Makes me feel better knowing I can contribute to the Addison fund! :)

Hope everyone has a great week! :)
