22 weeks

I haven't updated here throughout my pregnancy as much as I wish I had. Already more than halfway through my pregnancy, we will be holding our little guy before we know it.

The first trimester was exciting yet very uncomfortable. I pretty much felt like crap the entire time. No energy and constant nausea. Once I hit about 13 weeks I felt like a new person and had it not been for the growing bump I would not have even felt pregnant.

My second trimester has been amazing and I'm loving being pregnant. At 15 weeks we found out we are having a baby boy and I started to feel tiny flutters. We have named our boy Grayson Samuel. Chris felt him move at 20 weeks and now at 22 weeks the movements are really strong. Some days I think if this keeps getting stronger as we go along these kicks might become painful. He has some powerful little kicks. Every time I feel him I get this overwhelming feeling of joy like I've never felt before I came to love this little boy. I've gained a total of 15 pounds so far and the past few days have felt lots of stretching and pulling going on in my abdomen. And my skin already feels so tight. I can only imagine the changes my body still has to go through. I'm so amazed by the changes that have already taken place. As I sit and type this post he is kicking and moving all around. I just paced my hand on my tummy and could see my hand move from his kick. I am so in tune to every little twinge, kick, stretch, pulling going on.

I honestly am going to miss this so much as much as I can't wait to have him in my arms sometimes I already want to be pregnant again... Then some times I think I don't want anymore babies I want to give all my love to him and give him the best of everything. No matter what the future holds for us I'm so overwhelmingly blessed to be pregnant and I have faith that I we will have a healthy boy in a few short months. If I never get to carry another child this will be enough, I'm so thankful.
