week 22

I am now past the half way point in the pregnancy.  It's flying by this time because Bennett and life keeps us very busy.  At my appointment today the heart beat was a strong 140 bpm.  Everything looked and measured well.  I am feeling good except for the cold I have this week.  This is the second cold this winter.  I hope the baby benefits from all the colds I am contracting.

My belly is really popping.  I am eating a lot more these days.  I am constantly hungry.  I am craving the farmer's cheese pancakes my mom makes.  The baby is now the size of a spaghetti squash and weighs around a pound.  He is becoming sensitive to light changes outside of the belly.  Also, he can hear my voice, heartbeat, gurgling stomach and the whoosh-whoosh of my blood circulating.
