22 weeks!

I am 22 weeks and 2 days pregnant today. Baby Brody loves to kick and is getting stronger and stronger! We are able to feel him rolling and flipping around in there! It's so cool! This week Brody is a little over 1 lb and is approx. 8-10 in. long (not counting his legs!)
He has eyelashes, eyebrows, and maybe even a little hair on his head! All of the things I have read say that he looks like a mini doll this week. Therefore, he's already cute! He can hear my voice and other noises now too! This week one of the really neat developments is his sense of touch. When we rub my belly he should be able to feel it and may react. =)

My bump is starting to get bigger everyday. People are noticing it now and giving it little pats. I don't mind! This week we have been getting the closet ready for all of the baby clothes Miranda gave us. We have so much already and haven't even had a shower yet. We are definitely blessed! The closet project was so much fun. I can't wait to do the rest of the baby's room. We are going on Saturday to hopefully get a crib and other goodies in Pittsburgh. Yay!  Here are some pics of the closet and my 22 week chalkboard!

  1. We love the closet project, it looks like you all have worked hard getting things organized! You have always been prepared and organized! Brody has many things already, he is already so blessed to have such a good mommy and daddy! We can't wait to see the new crib in his nursery! Your pictures are beautiful and Brody is growing fast. We love you and Jacob very much. And we love Brody too!
