Happy 22 weeks to Baby Girl Freiman and happy birthday America! She (the fetus) is now the size of a papaya.
Everything has been pretty similar symptom-wise this week. Sleeping and restless legs continue to be a challenge, but both are better when I take a walk in the evenings. The other really fun symptom that appeared about a month ago on my foot is Penny the Plantars Wart. Its enough of a nuisance that I went to get it checked out this week, and I learned that they can be common in pregnancy because the immune system is "preoccupied." Apparently any treatments worth having in dermatology aren't allowed during pregnancy, so Penny could be around until November.
What I've learned this week (other than about warts): I am continuing to receive some great registry suggestions from friends (thank you!) and surprisingly the staff at Buy Buy Baby is very knowledgeable ...so I think we're putting together a good list.
Highlights of the week: Celebrating the 4th of July with family was really fun, and we had our 22 week checkup this morning. Her heart rate is still in the 130s and doctor said its great that I'm feeling her move but its okay if I still don't feel her every day.
Also, I got a promotion! Now I'll be heading out on maternity leave as a Senior Human Resource Generalist.
Week 22 bump, with guest appearances by David and Rusty Fox (my nephew).
Yay on the promotion ... I didn't know that! First Brenna made an appearance, than Rusty ... now all you need is Alyssa (if she will ever pose with you)!
