22 Weeks along!

I'm feeling pretty pregnant these days!  When I got dressed this morning, Nick said "that outfit makes you look pretty pregnant." My response "every outfit makes me look pretty pregnant."  There is no hiding the fact; it's pretty obvious!

I'm feeling pretty good these days.  I do notice that my "emotions" are a little "thin skinned."  I'm not one to shed a tear, but I get "teary-eyed" (ok, so maybe, I've bawled a few times, but keep that on the DL) over the silliest things.  I must admit when I do cry, it feels so much better!  Great stress reliever, and I need all the stress relieve I can get.  My blood pressure the past few times has been around 140 over 88 (really high for me). Dr. Villers said she won't get concerned until it is consistently high (in the 150s and 160s).

Master Tillman hit 22 weeks today!  Babycenter.com says "Your baby has stretched to the size of a spaghetti squash and weighs almost a pound. (Length: nearly 11 inches.)"

"Your baby is starting to look like a miniature newborn. His lips, eyelids, and eyebrows are becoming more distinct, and he's even developing tiny tooth buds beneath his gums. His eyes have formed, but his irises (the colored part of the eye) still lack pigment. If you could see inside your womb, you'd be able to spot the fine hair (lanugo) that covers his body and the deep wrinkles on his skin, which he'll sport until he adds a padding of fat to fill them in. Inside his belly, his pancreas — essential for the production of some important hormones — is developing steadily."
