Better late than never!

December 15 2012

I am 2 days late updating, whoopsie!  Nothing really exciting has happened this last week....I am just impatiently waiting for Christmas Eve to get here so we can find out if we are having a mountaineer or a mountainette (I may have made up 'mountainette', but i am not sure what you would call a girl mountaineer)!  I have tried a few times to use my laser vision to see what is written in the envelope, unfortunately my laser vision is a little rusty :(  

Yesterday we celebrated Mom Simonetti's birthday....we went to a delicious ltalian restaurant in leesburg, I would totally plug it here if I remembered the name of it.....we also got to watch Elsa and James open their Christmas gifts we got them.   Elsa got Bouncey, a little stuffed dog that barks and jumps around in circle, and James got this TRex hot wheels track....The Trex track was cooler in the box but James didn't seem to mind that the track didn't work haha

I have a doctor appointment on Wednesday. Nothing exciting just a check up, I plan on asking more about this kidney thing our little peanut has so I can give a more informational update as to what exactly it is, maybe even be able to spell it correctly, and hopefully I will feel better about not being able to do anything to help fix it. 

Only one week until I get to see my little niece Charlotte!!!  Oh, and my parents and brother and sister in law :)

How far along? 22 weeks, 1 day! 
Weight gain/loss? I am losing the battle of the bulge, but hopefully it is mostly baby bulge!!!
Maternity clothes? I went to Motherhood Maternity yesterday for the first time.....why have I waited so long?!  
Stretch marks? Still don't have any...fingers crossed for slow growth moving forward to prevent them!
Sleep? This is a sore subject.....seems that my new sleeping pattern involves being awake for at least two hours a night for NO REASON AT ALL!  
Best moment this week?  Seeing Elsa and James open their gifts!
Movement? I have had a couple of kicks but still very sporadic  should start getting regular movement in the next couple of weeks
Food Cravings? Nothing really...I actually haven't had much cravings for the last month...I just like all types of food haha
Food Aversions? Same as with cravings...I am just fond of all foods these days
Gender? CHRISTMAS EVE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Belly button in or out? In.  Still have my belly button ring in as well, but I can see it is getting tighter
What I miss? SLEEP, SLEEP, SLEEP
What I am looking forward to? Seeing my family next week!!!!!!
Milestones?  I had my first kicks this week, or at least I think they were kicks....
