So yesterday, Delainey and I hit the 22 week mark in her development which means that she can start "defying the averages" and grow at her own pace now.
Everything I have read indicates that around this time, babies tend to start doing their own thing in terms of development - which is kind of cool and scary at the same time.
Delaney is (on average) about the size of a Papaya, is any where from 10.5 - 11.8" in length and weighs between 12.7 and 20 oz...for those of us that can't say math was our favorite subject...that means that our little diva could weigh as much as 1.25 lbs right now. She is sleeping 12-14 hours a day (In case there was any doubt that she was Mike's daughter) and can actually hear and sense my mood changes - so I am doing my best to be as even as possible - although Mike may have a different opinion on that.
My belly keeps growing and let me tell you - it itches! My belly button looks about ready to pop out - and it is getting harder to get comfortable when I am laying in bed. My legs feel the constant need to move - and no matter which way I position myself, I can't seem to stay comfortable. Really - 4 more months of this!
Both Mike and I are starting to get back to normal - whatever that means - and attempting to play catch up from being sick and out of work or totally useless after work for the last few days.
It has been absolutely beautiful in ABQ these past two days...it was over 70 yesterday and should reach about the same temperature today. The weather is one thing I can't complain about in this city! I am so excited for sprint and summer - I am tired of having to layer, wear sweaters, coats and long pants and am SO READY to be able to wear sun dresses and sandals for the last few months of this pregnancy.
Still no kicks from Miss Delainey - but from conversations that I have had with my friend Renee - who had the same "issue" with the placenta - she started feeling Embry kick around week 23/24 - so hopefully next week I will be able to feel something - I am not sure I have wanted to feel something more in my life...just to know she is in there and busy and active!
Happy Thursday Guys! Hope today is special.
