But he was still hungry...

For breakfast at 8:30am, he ate 1 banana, cinnamon raisin bagel, and two cups of milk...
but he was still hungry

For lunch at 11:30am, he ate 1 hot dog with ketchup, corn, a piece of cheese, mango pieces, and a cup of water and milk...
but he was still hungry

After naptime around 3:45pm, he had a snack of "silly yogurt" ...
but he was still hungry

For dinner at 6pm, he had turkey meatballs, green beans, homemade applesauce, biscuit, and 3 (yes 3!) cups of milk...
but he was still hungry

For a special St. Patrick's Day bedtime treat, he had a small brownie with mint frosting...
after that he wasn't hungry anymore.

Week Twenty Two

Weekly update!

How far along?:
22 weeks, 2 days

Weight gain/loss: not sure. my appt is on Monday. I'm up 1 lbs from my home scale from last week which isn't too surprising. I've ate like crap this week!

Symptoms: pregnancy-wise: sore hips and back by the end of the day but I've been working ALOT of desk shifts lately, so I'm on my feet more. non-pregnancy: battling a terrible cold :(

Gender: Team Green

Sleep?: I'm sleeping alright. Again the sore hips and frequent bathroom breaks take away from some of it.

Best moment this week?: Not the best but loved leaving work at 7pm and seeing a glimpse of not only the sun but also pavement instead of snow!

Movement: Getting more and more frequent. I swear yesterday (s)he had the hiccups.

Food cravings/aversions: No real aversions or real cravings but overall just hungry all the time.

What I miss?: Being able to sleep in comfort

What I am looking forward to?: My appt on Monday

Size of Baby: according to Baby Center: length of a spaghetti squash - 11" and about a pound.

What I’m nervous about: this cold getting worse
