22 Weeks

22 weeks pregnant is something like 5 1/2 months in my opinion but you’ve already started your sixth month so who knows. I’m over halfway there and it seems like it all just started. They say everything goes faster once you have a kid and I believe it whole heartedly.

Zora Wilder Harris is almost a foot long and weighs close to a pound. We are excited to get another glimpse of her at our 28 week appointment coming in July.

Today was my 3rd Mother’s Day as a mom and as expected it was busy and fantastic. My mom and I ran around together on our own and then got to visit with Ember before Kevin and Ember and I went to see his parents for a visit.

Ember’s teachers have always been great but her teacher Miss Ashley is especially crafty and presented mom’s this sweet hand print poem along with a photo of kiddo making the art. Needless to say, I couldn’t look at it until I got home from school to avoid crying in front of other people. We framed the two together this weekend.

I’m definitely showing more this time around and I’ve totally embraced it. Last time I was so worried about gaining too much weight (I’ve gained less than 5lbs so far) or gestational diabetes or looking TOO pregnant but this time I’m happily wearing maternity clothes and being told how cute I am all the time. I’ll take it!

Ember joined Kevin and I for her first CFC tailgate a few weekends ago and she had a blast.

We are all headed to a family beach vacation together at the end of the month with my mom and Kevin’s parents and we are so excited. Ember has been wearing her new sunglasses for practice. See you soon, beach!
