Week 22

Another two weeks come and gone. I had a few more sick days these past few weeks, just feeling dizzy and nauseous but mostly feeling tired. Some days are definitely better than others.

I have an appointment this Wednesday and I'm looking forward hearing baby's heartbeat. As she grows I feel her kicks getting stronger. Her favorite time of day (or night I should say) is 10pm. That is when she starts busting out her ninja moves. It's fun to feel her moving around but sometimes she keeps me awake.

Clearly I still haven't gained much weight. Every time I step on the scale I hope to see larger numbers. I started to get concerned that my lack of weight would eventually cause problems for me and baby. Last night I talked with a doctor I respect very much and he was able to reassure and give some perspective and guidance.

I feel much better having talked through some of my fears and concerns. My weight will come eventually, it is just taking my body a few weeks to catch up after losing so much.
