22 Weeks

My Spaghetti Squash!

You are around 11 inches, the length of a spaghetti squash and almost 1 pound. I can't believe you are already that long! You are starting to look like a miniature newborn now, so exciting! I wish we had another ultrasound so I could see you again!!

We had some great friends, Kara & Marc, come out to visit us this week, they love you so much!! It was so refreshing to spend time with them & share in the excitement of this pregnancy with them. They brought the cutest little outfits for you from them & our other friends the Werner's. I can't wait to dress you in them and take tons of pictures! We went to the beach on Memorial Day it was so beautiful out. This was the first time I shared my belly with the world, it was fun. I don't think people really noticed but it was exciting for us. You really liked the sun because you were moving around a lot, either that or you were telling me you were hot in there. :) I can't wait to take you to the beach and watch you play in the sand & feel the water for the first time.

This week was some fun moments with you. During church services you had hiccups for the first time. I wish your daddy was there to feel them, they lasted for about 5 minutes. I think you are going to take after your mommy, I get the hiccups at least 3-5 times a week. Also, this week we got to see you move around in my belly. Your movements have been stronger lately so I have been laying in bed waiting to see you move. Every night your daddy talks to you and you rub his hand. So a few nights ago I told him to talk to you so we could see if you would move enough for us to see, sure enough you did!! It was such a sweet moment, we both looked at each other & said "did you see that!" That was not the last time you were doing acrobatics in there. I love feeling you move around & especially enjoy seeing your movements.

Love you Hallee!

Mommy
