22 weeks

So I've hit the 22 week/5.5 month mark, and all I can say is that I am feeling bigger. I have found myself wondering how people with beer guts function comfortably, because I am certainly not maneuvering as I used to. Little things like getting out of bed, getting up off the couch, sitting with my kids at school on the rug, all seem to be getting more difficult with this round belly that I am sporting. And I still have another 18 weeks to grow!

We can tell already that our little guy is an active, strong one. I am now getting beat up from the inside on a regular basis. Some days he is more quiet than others, but for the most part he is bouncing around in there like there's no tomorrow. Bob likes to put his head on my belly and yell "Are you ready for some football?" so I think that might be winding him up a little bit. I usually amuse myself at night by watching my belly move around. I've also had a few sleepless nights so far because he decides that 2am is play time in my belly. We gotta get this kid on a schedule!
