22 Weeks

4th of July!!

Baby Girl is the size of an American Guinea Pig this week! She's working on her physical abilities by touching everything she can- Her face, body, umbilical cord! Her inner ear is also developed so she has a sense of balance! She's now a foot tall and a WHOLE POUND! 

How's Mama? I'm doing good! This week I grew A LOT in my belly and waist and gained just a little. A WHOLE pound of me now is baby! That's a nice feeling :D haha. I've noticed this week that my feet have started to swell, just a bit. Mostly when I've been on them for a very long time and it's super hot outside. Chicken MIGHT be back on the table! I had a salad with chicken in it. So fingers crossed!!! Heartburn is still hanging around, but nothing too bad. 

How's Daddy? He's doing great! We were hoping things had started to slow down for him at work and while they have a little, he's still busy. Daddy also got a raise at work! I am BEYOND proud of all the hard work he's put in and that other people notice. :D BARBRI is finishing up this week, so hopefully after it's over he'll have some more free time. My Fitbit strap messed up a little, so I called to see if the company could fix it. They just sent me a new one! So Daddy has been enjoying my old one and stepping it up (literally!) ha!. 

This week: It was nice to have the 4th off! We went of the Hutch's house for the day and enjoyed some good food and the pool. Carter, of course, had a great time. He loves his Uncle Hutch. It was nice to get to spend time with friends and not have to plan anything myself. While I usually LOVE to host parties, I'm a little more tired lately :D When we got home, John and I sat in the driveway and watched the fireworks. Why would we ever go anywhere when we can see a great show from the driveway?! The rest of the week was slow paced, for the most part. We are just both exhausted from life. lol.
