22 weeks pregnant & belly pictures

(note: pics from two weeks ago ~ I’ll probably take some new ones today, I am currently 24 weeks pregnant! )

Lucky 22! I was born on the 22nd and this is my 22nd week of carrying Wee Baby Girl around town.

I feel wonderful!

Besides the weight gain and feeling WBG in my tummy, everything is “normal” I only had the two cravings, cookie and then root beer… I was looking forward to some crazy cravings, but I am not having them. I might just come up with some crazy concoctions just for fun!

Keeping this one short ~ here is some information directly from 3d pregnancy . com

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, blonde, 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?
