22 weeks

How far along?  22 weeks
Best moment this week?  People at church still don't think I look pregnant.  Part of that is because my Sunday dresses were never really tight or revealing so now they hide my baby from everyone.  Though this won't last for very much longer, I am enjoying it right now.
Worst moment this week?  For some reason my eye lashes are falling out.  I know that's not typical but I am not a typical person.  It's also a vanity thing.  I've always had incredibility long eye lashes and now I have a few long eye lashes while the rest are growing back.  It's just weird.
Another thing that wasn't fun this week.  I think I may have had a kidney stone.  Because the pain/attack reminded me of one I had a month ago, I decided to go to the doctor to make sure everything was okay with the baby.  So, the office got me in...I saw a different doctor...and ended up getting a sonogram/ultrasound on my kidneys.  Don't know the result yet but I do know that the baby is okay and still growing.
Food cravings?  Not really a craving but I really really really enjoy a banana milkshake.  Just a cup of milk with a banana blended in it and I'm in heaven.  So tasty!
Exercise?  Yep, still trying to do it every day though I'm doing a lot less running and just walking.  My lower back has begun to ache and so I will do some stretches while I'm out on my walks.  Plus, I've noticed that my feet are larger.  One of my exercise pairs of shoes is feeling rather tight.  Gotta love those hormones that loosen up everything (including my feet) and don't always get everything back together after the baby is born.
Baby?  One internet site said that the baby is the size of a papaya...and if you don't know how big that is, it's okay.  Let's just say that baby is over a pound in weight and around the length of a spaghetti noodle...still small but growing bigger each day.  Apparently he can perceive light and darkness, but I don't really think he's doing all that since I keep clothes on for most hours of the day.  He can hear my voice and SM's voice and should now have eyebrows, eyelashes, and may even have a bit of hair on his head.  The hair is white since all baby's lack pigment at this point.  But I wonder what color of hair he'll have, or even if he'll have any hair when he's born?

I'm totally sipping a banana milkshake I just made in my blender. Wish we were closer and we could sip them together. Love you!
