Pregnancy Update

Being 22 weeks pregnant (almost 23) has its ups and downs. I get this weekly “newsletter” from BabyCenter.com explaining things like how big the baby is, what my body is going through, how much weight I should have gained, etc. Well recently my “newsletter” mentioned that I could start having leg cramps. Actually, it didn’t specify leg, but that’s what I assumed. And sure enough tonight I had my very first leg cramp! That SOB hurt!! I woke up from a somewhat peaceful nap on the couch, stretched out my long legs… and POW! “OW OW OW OW OW” Matt quickly came over to see what was wrong… Poor guy, he had no idea. But there was nothing he could do, except stair at me, hoping to help in some way, shape or form. Finally, my cramp subsided–but holy crap! does my leg still hurt. It’s still sore, like I went to the gym and did calf raises.

Other than cramps in my leg, the pregnancy is going a long just fine. If you didn’t notice on my quote, we’re having a BOY! Matt and I are very excited!! And he is a very active boy. (The baby. Not Matt, in case you were confused.) I can feel him move all over the place. And he tends to move when I’m trying to fall asleep… how ’bout that! He’s probably going to be a soccer player or a gymnast-I swear he does back flips in my uterus.

I have 5 months down… 4ish more to go!
