22 weeks

(disclaimer: snow makes it hard to get a picture in focus, hence the first blurry photo)

22 weeks today, can you believe it? I hardly can. In one way I feel like I've been pregnant forever but at the same time it feels like it's flying by. I know I skipped 21 weeks, last weekend was a little (lot) crazy and it just kept getting pushed off until 21 turned into 22. 

21 and 22 go together well nicely when it comes to progression though. I started really feeling this boy last Friday, and this past week his kicks have become stronger and much more frequent. Still not on the outside much. He did give me a visible kick for my birthday but otherwise only I can feel them. They're the most amazing surreal thing I've ever experienced. I tend to take 5x longer to do something nowadays since all I want to do is lay down and feel his little movements. 

Our baby item collection is growing and it's so fun to see our apartment being filled with things for this little person. Our diaper stash is coming along nicely, and every chance I get I'm ordering more. I'm pretty sure cloth diapering is an actual addiction, it's very serious. ;) Actually as I sit here writing the laundry is going. We're doing our prepping this weekend, and though we'll have to wash them once more right before he gets here so they're nice and fresh for his little bum, we're getting the prepping out of the way early. I'm sure someday diaper laundry won't be quite as exciting, but right now holding and looking and washing these tiny little things is oddly thrilling. I blame it on the hormones ;) 

June still feels so far away, but we're slowly inching closer.
