Things are moving fast now!

I am 22 weeks and everything is happening so fast! My baby showers are being planned, which is just the most exciting thing ever! I am so blessed to have such amazing people in my life that are willing to take the time to celebrate this special time with me. I have been feeling baby Charlie now for a few weeks but last night was the first time I felt him from the outside. I tried to get Jess to feel him but every time he would try to feel the kicks Charlie would stop. It will happen. I just can't wait for my stomach to look like an alien is trying to get out of it! =) Right now I am going crazy wanting to have the nursery done. So far we have the Crib together and tonight I went and bought the changing table. Jess is buying the paint so that he can paint the wooden letters that he bought today that will go above the crib. It all is just so much fun! I am truly so happy right now. As far as how I feel, I feel wonderful! Some days my feet kill me at the end of the day but that's nothing. I am just enjoying this wonderful 2nd trimester. I know that the 1st trimester was hard and I'm sure the 3rd will be a lot more uncomfortable. I find myself daydreaming a lot about what Charlie will be like and what he will look like.

Here is what my weekly updates say about whats going on :

See the bigger picture.

How your baby's growing:

At 11 inches (the length of a spaghetti squash) and almost 1 pound, your baby is starting to look like a miniature newborn. His lips, eyelids, and eyebrows are becoming more distinct, and he's even developing tiny tooth buds beneath his gums. His eyes have formed, but his irises (the colored part of the eye) still lack pigment. If you could see inside your womb, you'd be able to spot the fine hair (lanugo) that covers his body and the deep wrinkles on his skin, which he'll sport until he adds a padding of fat to fill them in. Inside his belly, his pancreas — essential for the production of some important hormones — is developing steadily.
