22 Weeks

Baby Boy Blue,

It's been a good week of feeling you kick, squirm and move all over the place, especially when I eat. Something else started this week as well, or at least I began feeling them this week... contractions. My uterus is getting ready. While we were with the midwife, I had a big one, but she said it was normal, just practice for the big day. So I get to 'practice' at least a couple of times a day. This is new for me, I never have felt them before. This week you are almost 11 inches long and weigh about a pound! We began picking out paint for your big sister's room, and once we get her all settled into her new room, we can get yours ready. I must have started nesting, because I can't seem to keep the house clean enough and want to sort through everything. This week, during our pictures, your sister helped daddy take the pictures of us, and then got herself all dressed up and ready for her own portraits. It was adorable. She talks and sings to you everyday, and cannot wait to meet you!
