22w2d Finally 5 months!!

 So a little bit of news, First off the baby has learned to kick like a soccer player so she is officially beating mommy up, and anything that comes in her way (anything I put on my belly, like my hand or a notepad) :) so I've found myself just feeling her when she kicks and waiting for her to kick all day long haha I went shopping yesterday and kind of got lost. I walked around aimlessly for two hours going down aisles I didn't need to go down even though I had a list and I just felt hopeless cuz all I could think about was the baby!! So I bought the special perfume-less and dye-less detergent so I could start washing her clothes, blankets and such. I just kind of started feeling like I need to get going- is that nesting?? I guess thats what you would consider it. Anyways no news otherwise, just kind of waiting around- cleaning like crazy. I am now weighing in at 147 lbs and still gaining so total weight gain is 21lbs and I'm starting to worry because everyone says NOW is when the baby gains?? So what has this other weight been??? Oh boy... I know I'm supposed to gain a lot but I'm not sure I was prepared to gain THIS much! I guess the reward is much greater!

Well I guess thats it for now.... heres some info about baby and momma and of course my weekly belly pics!
Thanks for reading!

Your Pregnancy: Week 22

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.

Watch what you say -- baby is now able to hear outside noise from down in the womb. Studies show that baby finds gentle music and your own voice most soothing. Nipples are starting to sprout, and that little face is fully formed. And, baby's starting to settle 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.
