week 22 update

here's my latest picture:


my stomach is definitely starting to grow...i can only fit about half of my wardrobe right now. and it's interesting, depending on how the top/dress is cut, some make me look and feel HUGE while others seem to minimize the stomach. i weighed myself at costco over the weekend and i've gained about 7-8 lbs. i'm hoping to keep the weight gain to 20-25lbs total. on avg you're supposed to gain 1 lb a week in the 2nd & 3rd trimesters, so if i stick to that i have 18 more weeks to go and that would put me at around ~25 lbs. we're going to puerto rico on wed for a week, so we'll see how much weight i put on hehe i have a doctor's appt on 5/9, 2 days after we get back... hopefully the number on the scale won't be too high =P omg, i tried on my bikinis and i am totally busting out of the tops- don't think i'm brave enough to wear them out in public. i don't want to go out and buy a new one because most likely i'll never wear a bikini again for a while after this trip, so i'll just have to wear my one piece swimsuit. thank goodness that one still fits!
