Bean Update - 22 Weeks

I know it's been too long since I last posted. Shame on me. I'll be 22 weeks on Thursday this week. Unfortunately, my fun loving early contractions have started again. Guess I'm not drinking enough water. I need to make sure to have enough fluids for the little Bean! She doesn't want to come out early, I pray! I'm fairly exhausted, although I'm not sure if that has more to deal with chasing around Peanut or just being pregnant in general. I feel like I'm starving all the time again though!

However, overall, I'm feeling pretty good with the pregnancy but getting back from Cancun on Sunday was sad. We had a fabulous time with our friends. Hubby and I enjoyed the sun and Peanut really enjoyed the pool and the ocean. She wasn't a fan of sand, though that was FINE by me!

Highlights for now include Peanut exploding not one, not two, but three diapers on the plane DOWN to Mexico. We ran out of clothes for both Peanut and I on the plane so she ended up half naked in a plastic bag from the waist down in her wrap on me. L(my friend's 22 mo old) and Peanut got along fabulously all week, minus L being a little too "loving", i.e. choke holding Peanut for hugs until she cried, lol. Peanut had a VERY busy week; took several steps alone, learned how to go down stairs alone, started knowing to wave when we say "Say hi" or "say bye", started giving kisses, loved the ocean but hated sand, enjoyed playing 'fetch' both in the water and out, complete water child and didn't burn (I think she's got my skin that tans as opposed to hubby's that burns instantly), and just seemed to thrive all week with both of us around. She was such a ham with everyone there too. All you had to do was smile at her and then she'd smile, wave, then play hide and seek. Thank goodness she's such a mama's girl, or I'd worry she'd go right off with a random stranger. I had a pretty fabulous time, though I'm happy to be home with carpet as opposed to the marble floors where Peanut fell almost daily on (ugh, but thankfully just on her butt - boney as it is!).

I'm almost done with my Febuary Lady Sweater. I'm on my 21st repeat of the lace pattern. I was thinking of anywhere between 20 and 25 repeats. I'm going to try it on tonight and see how it looks. Then I'll decide how much further I want to make it!!! Fingers crossed to have it done by next Tuesday!
