*How far along?: 22 weeks!
*How big is baby?: A plump papaya.
*Total Weight Gain/Loss: Okay, the official word so far... +21. I gained 6 pounds last month. I'm going to blame it on the McDonald's. ;D
*Maternity Clothes: Almost everything. I'm in regular leggings today and they just aren't stretching enough. Argh!
*Stretch Marks: None that I can see!
*Gender: A BOY. Get ready to meet Cannon Theodore!
*Movement: LOTS. He is doing back flips always.
*Sleep?: Pretty normal but I have been waking up when he karate chops me or if I have to go to the bathroom. I've been sleeping 9 hours religiously. That's nice.
*Best moment this week? Visiting my friends in Tampa. It was a nice road trip but left me with SWOLLEN ankles. Fo' serious.
*Food cravings?: Nothing really. I told my husband this last night -- I feel like my cravings have stopped. A few weeks ago I would kill you for a taco, but now I'm just up for eating whatever. Though... I did
*What I miss: Being able to stay up late and walk around without disappearing ankles.
*Symptoms: SWELLING. I didn't even do TOO much activity this weekend. Sure, I stayed up to 3 a.m. like the good ol' days. I walked around Hyde Park. I went to a concert in the sun all day Sunday. But, it wasn't anything CRAZY. I didn't walk MILES. Either way, my knees and ankles were not my best friends and I spend Sunday night and all of Monday wondering if my ankles would ever return.
*What I'm Looking Forward To: My mom is moving down to Ft Myers next weekend! That's pretty crazy. We are also taking some pictures on Saturday... I don't want to call them "maternity" even though I guess they are...technically. I had a Groupon for a photo shoot but it expires soon so I figured now would be as good a time as any.
*Thoughts: I had a doctor's appointment this week (hence the accurate weight gain update!) and found out that right now he is breech. She said she expects him to turn (we have a long ways to go, right?!), but I just was like "oh, okay." I didn't know what to say! Google tells me that most babies are breech at this point and will almost always turn. Besides that, she said I should watch my salt because it's too early for me to be so swollen! Yikes! I need to take it easy. Hey, me, relax? Sounds great!

Oooh I can't wait to see shots of you 'maternity but not' shoot :)
You're SO adorable! I love your outfit. I can't wait to see your pics either!
I think Dominik turned head down around 28 weeks. Of course I ended up with c-section but he was positioned ready to go even during that!
I had some serious cravings in the third trimester - I'd wake up STARVING at 3am and make a grilled cheese. Or have Joey go get me a whopper! :)
At my 20 week u/s (3 weeks ago!) they said my baby was breech too and that most babies are at this point bceuase they move around so much so no big deal! I was told not to worry about it at this point! You look great! I bet you were wishing you could have some of those Cinco de Drinkos! I know I was! :)
I thought you'd quit blogging, apparently Blogger automatically unfollowed you? Glad to hear you're doing so well, and if it makes you feel better, I swelled about 10 weeks earlier than you but my BP was good, I wasn't diabetic, I had pretty much no issues, some people just swell!
You are adorable. I can't wait to see your handsome little guy!
Cute! Love his name!!
Sounds like you're doing great! I can't wait to see the Groupon Pics! Still in love with his name!!
You look adorable!

You're so cute with your Cinco de Drinko! That is so awesome your mom is moving down and will be closer. I'm so happy to hear (er, read) that
You look GREAT! I love the name you chose, too.
Sucks about the swelling, that can't be any fun. Keep those feet up girly!
Also, love the shoes you're wearing in that photo!
You look beautiful! So glad things are going well, except for your swolleness!
Swelling is the worst!!! Take it easy & keep those feet up.
