Haven't written in a while....


So here's what's new in a nutshell

- I'm 22 weeks today and I'm showing...See the picture!  Crazy.  I'm not even sure when it happened it just popped out one day.  I don't normally wear all black tight clothes, i was wearing a shirt dress and when i took it off and saw myself in the mirror i thought "i've got to take a picture of this!"  

- I had a terrible leg cramp.  Terrible doesn't even describe it...it was traumatic.  I couldn't straighten my leg and my whole calf muscle was in a ball.  It took like 15 minutes to rub it out.  I'm literally traumatized,  I don't want to go to sleep from fear that it will happen again!

- I'm doing water aerobics and I really like it.  Jill and I go on Thursdays (she's my pregnant friend who is 2 weeks ahead of me).  I think Lily likes it too :o)  I still go to the gym on Mondays and Wednesdays too.  Gotta stay active so Lily can be strong too!  

- Speaking of "strong Lily", I can feel her move now.  At first it was just a little, but now it's often.  A couple of times it's been a little uncomfortable and i think to myself "ok, ok, i don't want her to move anymore"...but she does :o)  

- Went to the doctor a couple of weeks ago.  They confirmed it was a girl, said everything looked good, and as of 2 weeks ago the total weight gain was 6.5 lbs.  From now on I should gain 1lb. a week.  That should put me at about 26.5 lbs total at the end of my pregnancy, which is normal.  Let's hope I can stay on track!

Ok so that's all for now.
