BUMPdate: 22 Weeks, the Blow Out

Today was our 22 week appointment. Hubbs and I got a great report, results from the BIG ultrasound were good, bump is measuring just as it should and Tuck's HR was a strong 150. (Much slower than it has been, maybe he won't be as high strung as I thought.) After the appointment Hubbs and I headed to lunch at Spankies. As we were walking to our respective vehicles Hubbs said, "I think it's about time for new pants, you're blowing out of those!." I immediately replied, "that's not very nice to say to your pregnant and expanding wife." Hubbs laughed and said, "No really, your pants are ripped!!" I FREAKED OUT!! Sure enough, the pocket seam on my left cheek was BLOWN OUT!!! Hahahaha There's absolutely no telling how long it's been like this. That's the best part. Thanks Hubbs for still checking out my bootay and keeping me in check!!! :)

Best Moment this week: Smelling fresh paint from the nursery!! (Pics to come)

I can't believe that I am already 22 weeks, it blows my mind that we are already over halfway til the BIG day when Tuck changes our lives even more than he already has !!!
