oh baby | twenty-two weeks
how far along? | 22 weeks
due date: january 14, 2016
baby’s size | a papaya or a spaghetti squash
gender | a baby boy!
feeling | feeling great this week! school is becoming a little less overwhelming and things are starting to fall back into a routine again!
maternity clothes | a little of both at this point. i mentioned my experience with my first lularoe party last thursday… and how much i loved it… and then my clothes arrived at the end of last week and i am so, so, so much more in love. softest clothes i now own… the leggings are so adorable and are called butter leggings {i def. know why now! wow.} i have had a lot of interest from friends so i think i will be hosting an online facebook party soon {possibly next week! so excited!!} again, anyone is welcome to join- just add me and i will include you – my facebook} *you can’t beat the prices and incredible patterns {or comfort!}. for more photos: lularoecorissalangheinrich
workouts | lots of walking and stretching- thanks to ember grey’s twelve months of bliss prompt for september. also, starting pre-natal yoga and could not be more excited. i need this.
cravings | ice cold water and citrus/smoothies are still at the top of my list
fun facts | he’s got more developed eyes and lips, he’s looking even more like a newborn. he’s sleeping in cycles now- about 12 to 14 hours per day {hint: the times when i am not feeling his kicks!}
movement | baby boy has become so much more active over the past week. mr. monaco was able to feel him move on thursday, september 3 and instantly got teary-eyed. he’s been so fabulous lately- helping so much around the house/being so supportive. my mom also felt him this past weekend <3 in addition, on monday night during the ohio state football game, i think he was so excited that college football was back {and his favorite team was doing awesome} that i got a video of him moving through my new lularoe leggings.
miss anything | i really can’t complain this week- i am just so grateful for this amazing experience.
best moment of the week | without a doubt, spending time with my best friend/college roommate, meme and her husband, who traveld to charlotte from minnesota this past weekend. and then traveling to lake lure, north carolina to visit with my parents/very dear family friends sunday. i fell in love with the beautiful area of north carolina- we had the best time. we enjoyed delicious seafood, the landscape/flowers looking over the lake and mountains, playing games late night, lots of laughing, and one of my favorite past times- shopping with my mom/lynn. my mom is such a patient shopper– it’s always so fun going with her and exploring shops for hours. lots of memories. plus, my parents are literally glowing with excitement and it melts my heart.
looking
forward to | having a free, yet hopefully productive, weekend with mr. monaco {i can’t even remember the last time- maybe june or july? maybe. haha} we have plans to run some baby errands, relax, and get some home projects done. last night we ordered our crib!!! can’t wait for it to arrive <3
next appointment | friday, september 18

So exciting that your hubs and mom felt baby boy move! Victor only felt Max move ONCE during my entire pregnancy! Max was a mover and a shaker, but when he would feel my hands (or anyone else's hands) on my belly, he'd stop moving. I also had a hard time getting videos of my belly moving…it's like he could sense that he camera was out! Stubborn little bugger, even in the womb!
