Stretch Marks
Maybe too much information, but I already had some faint stretch marks on my hips and thighs, but NOW the ends of the marks are beginning to turn red. So SAD! I put lotion on my tummy after every shower and I'm still getting the darkening of those nasty buggers. I HOPE that I can manage the ones that are already existent and avoid gaining any new strech marks. My mom said she used lotion every day on her belly when she was pregnant and she never got stretch marks....so I still have hope of exstinguishing the chances of any new appearances (no matter what those books say). What a lovely way to endure swimsuit season, eh?

Baby Update: 22 Weeks
Not Looking Forward to...: All the work that goes into throwing party.
Nesting: I want everything set up now, even though we're not even sure we'll be living in the same place when Baby comes. I want to buy everything on our baby registries and start getting it washed and ready now! Reading lots about labor&delivery, breastfeeding, and caring for a newborn.
Baby movement: LOTS of kicks and turns, especially those long legs up in my ribcage. I feel like there's no room for Baby, and I just don't see how Baby could grow anymore- though I know it will happen.
Mama Changes: No room for food in my belly or air in my lungs... Belly is getting bigger, and http://pregnant.thebump.com/pregnancy/second-trimester/articles/your-pregnancy-week-22.aspx says my belly button could pop any day now. Peeing 1-2 times per night (as long as I go right before bed and as soon as I wake up). Sleeping well until the wee hours of the moring, then I wake up and have a very hard time getting back to sleep before my alarm goes off.
