I wished Eddie a Happy Father's day this morning. He even got a card from one of our nieces, that was very nice!
I am feeling pretty good, I had to go in to work today briefly but it was in the morning...not too bad. This last week I experienced some mild swelling. Kinda freaked me out a little, the night before we ate Mexican and then I ate about 8 donught hole's. The next morning my shoes felt tight, I didn't think much if it. But after I had my oatmeal (later I looked at NaCl content and it had about 190mg) that morning I felt like my rings were really tight, my bra strap was digging into my chest and my shoes were a lot tighter. I thought man, I am only half way and I am already swelling. I talked to my mom and she calmed my nerves and said it was normal for this point in my pregnancy and that it was probably something I had eaten. She suggested I call a nurse just to be on the safe side. Also, talking to Eddie helped calm my nerves too as he reassured me this was all normal. By the time the nurse got back to me my little bought of swelling had already gone down. She said that I really need to watch my salt consumption. Stay away from processed foods, watch the labels on everything I buy and watch what I eat when I go out. So I have learned my lesson and have been watching my salt intake and I am copping pretty good now.
Today is 22 weeks! This is what's going on from 3D pregnancy:
Your Baby:
Your Mini's hands have grown bigger and stronger and the nerve endings in her fingers have developed her sense of touch. She's in there testing out her newfound abilities by touching her face and grabbing the umbilical cord. Other cool developments:You're already raising a little Einstein. Your baby's brain is developing at a clip this week and will continue to do so until she's five years old (so load up on the Omega 3)! Baby's hair is now a short, bright white crop (Billy Idol, eat your heart out!). No matter what color it will end up—red, blond, black—all babies' hair lacks pigment at this point.Your baby has started growing taste buds and may be able to detect strong flavors in the amniotic fluid. If you could see inside, you might catch her sticking out her tongue for a taste and then grimacing, a sign that perhaps you should chill on the chili powder.Your baby now weighs almost a pound and measures almost 11 inches from her head to her heel, which is how the Stretch Armstrong in your uterus will be measured from here on out. Up 'til now your baby's legs were curled tight up against her torso, so she was measured from her head to her bottom (or crown to rump) and not head to toe. This week your mini is about as long as a package of Oreos and as heavy as a large bag of tortilla chips. Who's hungry?
