21 & 22 Week Baby Update!


Baby is growing! I think my belly has become gigantic these past couple of weeks! I feel baby alot more these days and even Colin got to feel him kick! I have been seriously nesting and just rearranging and organizing ALOT however it makes me really winded doing all these things. I have had a couple of times where I had to lie down and let my breathing calm down and my heart rate. Makes me wonder if my blood pressure is high during these times! It hasn't happened the last week so I think I am ok. I sure hope I am! Sweet stuff is still my favorite food of choice but for the most part I eat healthy or at least try to! ha!

I am still doing my cycling and river fitness plus a little bit of weight lifting so my arms don't get too flabby. During cycling I am now having to put my own fan directly on me now or I die. My face gets red really quick even with the fan it can be embarrassing but hey whatever, who cares! Most people are surprised I am even cycling in the first place! It is getting kind of hard though to lean forward and hold the handles cause my belly is in the way and getting squished so I tend to just sit up and pedal or get up and do a climbing position. It is kind of nice because due to my heartrate jumping up so quickly I actually burn alot more calories during an hour of cyling. Usually it is around 700-1000 which is wild! I guess it just makes up for all the sweets this baby likes to eat! The ligament pains are making it uncomfortable to walk the track so I think I am going to hunt down my belly band and see if that will help. I hope I can keep going with exercising but if anything I can start doing more water fitness stuff if I need to.

I am getting more and more excited as we move Kylee's room and start to empty the baby's room. I am more happy to think about us having a boy. I really think Hunter and Tate will be the best of friends so I can't wait for them to be able to play together. yay! Tate's schedule is starting to form. Usually around 10-11pm he starts moving all over the place and literally shaking my whole belly! I dont feel him too much during the day unless I sit down and rest.

PS I have moved to doing an update every couple of weeks.
