Week 21-22

Get out your baseball gloves and everything blue because we are having a boy!! For the last several weeks we've been trying to be super patient and wait for the anatomy sonogram. A number of friends and family members shelled out extra money to know the sex of their baby early but we figured it be beneficial to wait. My mom got to come with us and experience a sonogram for the first time. When she was pregnant with me her doctor didn't believe in sonograms! (Oh, the 80's).... The doctor told us that everything looks amazing. No cleft lip or palate and all of his organs are on the inside of his body...

Here he is... Bean

On Saturday of that week one of Keagan's closest friends was married at her childhood home out in the country. And when I say country I mean COUNTRY... During the prayer cows kept mooing in the background.

 

 

Earlier that day, we started refinishing a cabinet we found. We wanted to use it in the baby's nook as a changing table. My mom and I found it at an estate sale for $12!! You can't beat that with a baseball bat...

 

 

A couple coats of paint and new knobs from Home Depot

Happy Easter!! Thank you Jesus for rising from the dead today to save our sins... And in honor of that we dyed Easter Eggs with our friend, Allie. WARNING to everyone out there... Do not text and dye eggs. I wasn't paying attention and I almost drank out of a cup with an egg dying in it. Thank goodness the egg hit the side of the cup before anything got into my mouth. LOL

Bean is kicking like crazy. We call them dance parties because he's so wild. This makes me nervous for when he's actually out in the world and I have to wrangle him.

your baby's the size of a papaya!

During month five, the average fetus measures about 10.5 to 11.8 inches and weighs about 12.7 to 20.8 ounces.

your baby at 22 weeks

• Now that he's got more developed eyes and lips, he's looking even more like a newborn.
• He's sleeping in cycles -- about 12 to 14 hours per day (hint: they're probably those times you're not feeling any kicks!).
