Week 22 :)

Week 22, time is flying!! I can feel our baby girl moving around and kicking, it is the most amazing feeling I have ever experienced… feels almost like popcorn popping around in my belly. I love love love it!! I think we have also settled on her name... Lily Grace... but we are not 100%, and therefore we wont call her by it until after she is born... what if she is born and doesn't look like a Lily? We are going to buy wall letters, but they can always be returned if we decide on something different... we both really love the name though!

We went camping for the August long weekend, just got back last night- it was so nice to get away for 3 days, with no stress, just time to relax. We went with my 2 sisters, my hubby and my brother in law… we all had a great time. We pretty much just read and played cards all weekend… plus a little bit of simple cooking. It was a little cool, so we didn’t go to the beach- I was grateful, I didn’t have to wear my maternity bathing suit, lol.

The month of August is going to be crazy busy for us, we have 2 weddings, lots of bbq’s, and our road trip to Boston and Providence… it will be busy, but fun!!

I will try to upload a belly pic this week J

Our Baby this week:
Your baby has finally broken the one-pound mark. The eyelashes and eyebrows are well formed now — and even more hair is sprouting atop that cute little head. But hair at this stage of fetal development has no pigment, so it's bright white.

This week, your sweetie is making more sense of the world as he or she develops the sense of touch. In fact, your little one's grip is quite developed by now — and since there's nothing else to grab in utero, he or she may sometimes hold on tight to that umbilical cord (don't worry — it's tough enough to handle it). The sense of sight is also getting more developed. Your fetus can now perceive light and dark much better than before (even with those fused eyelids). But remember — unless you're shining a flashlight over your belly (which you can do, by the way), it'll be mostly dark for your baby inside that cozy womb of yours
