Week 22

Week 22 is complete and we are officially thru 5 months! We are just starting into month #6 which is crazy to think about!  This is definitely passing so quickly.  I find myself thinking of time in little 4 week blocks since that's how most my rotations are broken down and I think that makes it fly by even faster!

We had a good week :) I'm feeling baby Harper move all the time now!  I was Zumba'ing with Mom and Olivia today and have a feeling she may be quite the little dancer.  Mom got to feel a little kick from her during our little workout.  I don't think she's much of a morning person... definitely feeling more movement in the evening.  I was able to get lots of little peeks of her this week.  The doctor I'm working with has an ultrasound machine so I spent a few minutes looking at my insides the other day and then he had an ultrasound tech come in to show us some things! The tech was nice enough to look at baby girl for a bit.  I went to dad's office today to have something checked out and also got a bunch of great pictures! She is head down and has been been everytime I have looked this week... I guess that's why I'm feeling all the little kicks up top.

I have officially worn unbuttoned pants to work once this week... soo much more comfortable.  I broke down and wore my maternity pants for the first time on Tuesday since I thought it would be kind of embarrassing during the ultrasound to have unbuttoned pants on... They were seriously the most comfortable things ever.  I only have one pair of dress maternity pants so I think I will likely be investing in more soon.  My attempt to buy a belly band this weekend was a fail... Not much maternity shopping in Etown.  Although, one of the nurses in Dad's office mentioned a "mommy superstore" on the other side of Etown so I may check that out tomorrow!

We had a fun shower for Carrie this past weekend!! She got so many cute little monogrammed things... it's hard to believe their big day is so soon but it will be here before we know it!!  I am feeling a little more confident these days that my dress should definitely fit... fingers will remain crossed though :) My belly is definitely getting bigger these days.

Thanks again to my professional photographer, Olivia for another weekly picture :)
