22 weeks - Fun in Chattanooga!

Special picture this week with dear friends from DuPont - Sharon (left) due June 20, and Julie (middle) due July 3 .
How far along: 22 weeks and 5 days.
Fruit/Vegetable Comparison and Size: Spaghetti Squash- about 7 1/2 inches head to rump - 11 inches head to heel
Total weight gain: 13 lbs.
Exercise: Nothing too much, I had to lay low this week due to a fever, sinus infection and pink eye from the sinus infection.. ugh..
Maternity clothes: A few stretchy dresses, non-maternity that still fit, and... I found some tights! They go all the way up past my belly.. a little weird.
Sleep: Somewhat unpredictable with the sickness, waking up coughing, needing pillow, not needing pillows... it's a confusing time right now for sleeping.
Best moment of this week: Being in Chattanooga, visiting DuPont - seeing my kids, spending time with teachers, going to church at Bridge!!!! And... having my sweet and thoughtful friends throw me a baby shower where I was able to see a lot of my teacher friends and Bridge friends.. miss everyone so so much.
*Baby shower photos below - didn't get a group shot of everyone, but so thankful to all who came!!

Miss anything: Sleeping on my stomach
Movement: I think I felt his bum on my right side the other day, it felt hard on that side of my belly, but not on the left side. He seems to really like it over there. Also, some big big kicks, enough to show his Chattanooga friends through my skin.
Food cravings: Toast with butter, and peppermint tea with honey... two cravings satisfied in Chattanooga - Gigi's Wedding Cake cupcake, AND Zaxby's Chicken Finger Sandwich.. mmm.
Anything making you queasy or sick: just working with 3, 4, and 5 year olds! Lucky they are so sweet!
Have you started to show yet: Oh yes.
Gender: BOY!! - Still working on a name though.. Come on Matt... (Same as last week here... any way to get this moving?)
Belly button in or out: It's it an awkward phase right now..
Wedding rings on or off: On but leaving an indent at times.
Looking forward to: My next appointment with the research study where we will get to see another 3d ultrasound of the little guy! 

**Side note - I've had some friends asking where we are registered, and I think we've finally figured it all out. We are registered at Babies R Us and Target. You can search under Kristin Roth or Matt Roth - since we don't live near many of our friends and family members, you can have items sent to our home address which is on the registry. If you would like to send something different, feel free to send me an e-mail at kristinlynnw@gmail.com, so I can give you our home address.
