Busy week with our spaghetti squash

22 weeks is here! I haven't really been counting to any particular week but 22 came with a bang. Traded in the Fiat 500 Sport for a Mazda CX 5, started having new back problems that only Dr. Bob can fix, and nesting has begun. When I read about nesting before actually being pregnant I brushed it off as no big deal because I already like to clean, make lists and organize - I was wrong - this is a huge deal. I feel like I might be going a little crazy, these lists are insane and they don't actually get done because after my day at work stressing over them I am too tired once I get home. OR I stay up late cross a few off the list and then am too tired for boot camp in the morning. I need a win. Thankfully after reaching out I now know this is nesting, I am not crazy or becoming ocd like Ryan let slip the other day :) This is a natural part of this time in my life and after having a meltdown I think I am ready to just be ok with it. Fine if I miss a few boot camps at least all the cleaning I am doing while carrying my baby around can count as cardio.

I have a midwife appointment on Friday, my last one was rescheduled due to a labor and as much as I wanted to hear Claire's heartbeat I had to be understanding because sometime in the next few months that will be me. So looking forward to finally checking out the birthing center and getting to not only feel her but hear her.

On the belly front, we have new cravings - Greek salad and bbq trip tip have literally been on my mind for weeks but I only want it from Stonefire so I am waiting patiently for Easter so that we can go with my parents. Sweets are now something that I cannot stop thinking about, the devils food cake I made on Monday has almost been demolished and I think I might just have to get Golden Spoon once I  get off work tonight.

Hi baby Claire, 
You are getting so big! You are the size of a spaghetti squash and it has been such a pleasure to be able to call you by your name. Everything feels so much more real now and also feels like every moment is flying by. I cannot wait to meet you but I also feel nervous. I hope that when you arrive you are a happy and healthy baby girl. That you know how much we love you and that if we don't know exactly what you need right away it is just because we are new at this too.
I bought you your first girly purchase, I worry you will be cuter than I know what to do with. I never have been much of a girly girl but these flower headbands had to be ours! I hope you love them, I was wondering if you are growing hair in there? My mom had to glue bows on my head when I was a baby, we'll see if that runs in the family.
Hope you have a nice week and keep on growing, I get to hear your heartbeat tomorrow

your mommy


ps: I am happy that many of my friends are so supportive of each other ♥ I hope my daughter and all of the babies of 2013 are born when equality is more important than politics. I hope that they can all love whoever they choose to love and be able to get married and have what Ryan & I are lucky enough to share.
