Pregnancy Update 22 Weeks

We've been terrible about taking pictures of my belly progress, but at least I'm journaling a bit more. I truly feel so much smaller than this point last time. I can still fit into my size small t-shirts and overall am still pretty comfortable. I'll take it! In fact, I was a little nervous before my 20 week appt that he wasn't growing quickly enough, but he measured 4 days ahead of my due date. I'll take it! 

I'm still not really feeling him much or at all. At the sonogram she told me that my placenta was in front so that I probably hadn't felt him yet, but I thought I would more by now. I've felt a couple of really subtle flutters very occasionally, but that's really been it. 

I've had a very easy pregnancy overall, but have noticed a few differences from last time. I feel more hormonal overall. I think I'm more apt to cry and have just felt more PMS-y many days. Woohoo. I also had a foot issue a couple of weeks ago. I'd been wearing flat sandals all summer and a couple weeks ago I started having really bad pain where my heel and arch meet on my left foot. Dr. Cooper mentioned that certain hormones can flatten your arches, so I bought a pair of heel insoles and have been more selective in my footwear. I got my mind set on finally getting a pair of Sperry's, but this came at the end of the month with no extra cashflow. So my wonderful husband somehow put together $60 and gave it to me and told me he wanted me to have them. Such a gem. So I did and quite frankly I haven't felt this cool in awhile. :) 

I still crave sweets more than anything, but lately my cravings and huge appetite have backed off a little. 

I'm still teaching Zumba twice a week at pretty much full pace. It's crazy to me that I was 2 weeks away from having to stop last time. I made a personal goal of teaching through the end of the semester not knowing how possible it would be, but it's looking pretty good for now. Knock on wood. 

I think we're pretty close to settling on a name. We've known middle name for a while (which is funny, because that was our hold up last time). We've had a running list of first names, but for one reason or another they've been nixed. Many of the ones I really liked I've thought sounded too similar to one of the boys' names. The name we're probably looking at is a little more out there than I would prefer, but I don't think it's too prominent. It just seems to be the best fit.
