Sass in the Bluegrass: Week 22 Bumpdate!

Well, it's been 5 weeks since I remembered to post a pregnancy update. But I'm sure that comes as no surprise to anyone. So here's what's been going on in pregnancy land!
How far along: 22 weeks and 4 days
Baby's size: Spaghetti squash! 8 inches, 1 pound
Symptoms: For the love of god, please let our new mattress alleviate some of my back and round ligament pain. Lots of pressure in the nether regions. And it's getting very difficult to get up with any sort of grace. I can tell that shoe tying and toe touching are soon to be fond memories. Hell-o belly! Might have more to do with the sweet cravings and not necessarily the baby. It's debatable.
Movement: Oh my gosh, so, so much! It really does make some of the discomfort so worth it to feel our little nugget bopping around in there. He gets especially feisty right after I eat chocolate. Or that's my excuse for eating so much leftover Halloween candy. And cookies. And brownies.
Sleep: Not so great. Between getting up every few hours to go to the bathroom and having to switch sides to remedy hip pain, I don't remember the last time I slept for more than 4 hours at a time. I know that I should not be complaining and it's going to be soooo much worse here in a few months. But it's really a bit cruel that right before you have a baby that's going to keep you from normal sleep for months you sleep like crap while pregnant with said nocturnal feeding creature.
Nursery: We hung the curtains and pictures FINALLY!!! Let's not discuss how I'm going to be adding an extra foot and a half of fabric to the curtains because I forgot to account for the curtain rod above the window frame. Whatever, the curtain rod is at least hung. The Name Game: Still nothing definite on the middle name. And I kind of wish people would quit asking.
Looking forward to: Dinner with my friend Kate this week. It's been too long since we had a night of catching up and wine. Oh wait...
Something great from week 22: I think this has been my favorite part of the pregnancy so far. This morning, before we got up and going, Drew was able to put his hand on my belly and feel the baby kick or head butt me (not quite sure which!) for the first time!!! It might be one of my favorite moments of all time, actually. And I might be teary eyed just typing this. :)
Rings: Still on, but not nearly as loose.
Missing most: BRIE. Seriously, I'm sure I could eat a few wedges and not have a thing to worry about. But being the first time preggo that I am, I'm not risking it.
Left to do: Wait. Really, that's about it. I've pretty much done it all. This is what pregnancy looks like for Type A over planners. Everything that can be done up to this point has long been done, and then some. I can't quite pack a hospital bag for me or the baby yet. And I'm afraid to take the tags off of any of the clothes past 6 months size to wash. You better believe I busted out the Dreft weeks ago for the newborn through 3-6 month stuff!
Only a few weeks until the first baby shower to celebrate our baby boy, so I'll have plenty of nesting goodness after that too! Man, do I love any excuse to nest!!!
