Our baby - Week 22 (Check out my bump!)

This week, our baby weighs in at a whopping pound and measures nearly eight inches, about the size of a small doll. He/she can now perceive light and dark. He/she can also hear our voices, my heartbeat, my gurgling stomach, and the whoosh-whoosh of blood circulating through my body.

This week, my husband felt the baby moving. We were lying in bed reading and before I knew it, I was feeling very strong kicks or punches. My husband immediately assumed it was gas but I assured him it was not gas at all. His face lit up with happiness and pride. We can't wait to meet our little one in December. Some days it is scary and overwhelming but at the end of the day we wouldn't change a thing and anxiously anticipate our baby's arrival.

Here's the latest baby bump picture taken this morning.


In 2 weeks, I head to Wisconsin for our baby shower thrown by our parents. I am looking forward to the weekend home but will miss Adam terribly. I'll be sure to take lots of pictures of him and for my post after I return. We already got our first baby gift in the mail this week and I am sure the baby's room will fill up fast.
