So today i am 22 weeks along! Very exciting! I just can't believe i am not over morning sickness!!! BLAH! very miserable! I have to take a Zofran (a not so cheap ati nausea pill) almost every single day and lately a vitamin B shot from the DR every week. My mornings aren't the same if my head doesn't meet the porcelain throne every morning! and i Have a feeling that since i am way past the 3 month mark i am never going to see the end of morning sickness until i have my baby! An update on how i am doing along with morning sickness i now have superficial blood clots in my legs. I can work as of right now but i get to wear those very oh so sexy tight compression socks and take an aspirin a day! Talk about feeling like an old person. If in 2 weeks my legs and feet are still swelling up as bad as they are they are going to restrict my hours at work!! So hopefully these lovely socks will help! Don't get me wrong i am really enjoying being pregnant. Watching my tummy get bigger and feeling my little miracle inside--- I LOVE IT!!
Here is the info for this week that i got from BABY GAGA
Week 22: Welcome to raisin country!
Fetal development in pregnancy week 22:fetus in fifth month The grow must go on! No wonder you’re getting so big, you’re now housing a wonder-baby who weighs nearly a pound and measures nearly a foot in length. Their perfect little pancreas is now further developed and they’ve also started producing their own hormones! Your baby's future in the circus as a world-famous tight-rope-walker is secure: their inner ear is now developed to the point that they have their own sense of balance. Lucky for your little explorer, balance also promotes physical dexterity, which has them actively feeling out their surroundings where skin, body parts, and the resident umbilical cord are the big sensory experiences. Your foot-long baby, is looking a bit like an oversized raisin right now as more and more wrinkles are showing up each week. Not to worry, all that excessive wrinkling is just their skin’s way of planning ahead for the time when they’ll start piling on that irresistible baby chub.
