It took me awhile to find something the right size for this week, haha! One website said that the baby was the size of a small doll, so I decided to measure some stuffed animals I still have. Does anyone even know what this brand of stuffed animal is? 🙂 I’ve had it for as long as I can remember if that gives you a hint.
Anyway… Baby Kiel is about 11″ long from head to heel and weighs about 1 pound!
How far along: 22 weeks
Gender: We don’t know
Weight gain: 6 lbs
Symptoms: Back pain, headaches, & nasal congestion are the main ones. I still haven’t decided if the congestion is pregnancy-related or just a cold.

Maternity clothes: Yep!
Stretch marks: No
Belly button in or out: in
Sleep: So-so… I fall asleep pretty easily, but I wake up really congested. Several kids at work have had very runny noses, so I’m not surprised if I caught a bug. I’m also getting used to sleeping with my Snoogle. I’m starting to think that I’m so much a creature of habit who hates change, that I had to get myself accustomed to sleeping with an extra pillow! If I don’t use the Snoogle, I tuck a small pillow between my knees when I sleep to help with my hip pain.
Best moments this week: Hearing Baby Kiel at my appointment on Tuesday! Heartbeat was 147 again. The doctor said Baby is more on the right side of my uterus, so I hope I don’t look lopsided, haha. That’s where Baby was hanging out at my ultrasound too. My other best moment was Andrew feeling the baby move!
Miss anything: Not really
Movement:Yes, although I’m still impatiently waiting for Andrew to feel it! Update: Andrew finally felt the baby moving! Just a little bit, but he did feel something. 🙂
Cravings: Carbs all the time! Pasta, muffins, doughnuts, bagels…I’m amazed I haven’t gained a ton lately. Still loving frozen fruit bars too.
Looking forward to: Scotland next week!

I finally figured out how to log Kelsi off from here! I think the bunny might be a Puffalump. Do you remember those? That’s my guess any way. You look great!!!! I love you!

It IS a Puffalump! I never have had the heart to get rid of it… and it came all the way over to England with us. 🙂 I love you too!

The nasal congestion is pregnancy related as all mucous membranes swell and you have increased secretion of glands and sinuses. Katie has it too. Love Vickie
