Pregnancy/Life Update-22 weeks


It's been a while! I thought I would post a new blog today. I am currently 22 weeks pregnant, a little over 1/2 way there! In the news; my sister in law Besa is pregnant and due at the end of March. So she must be around 18 weeks. My OBG-YN is ALSO pregnant, due a weeks BEFORE me, so she is 23 weeks!! Lol, we had the anatomy scan, and the baby looks GREAT. She is measuring right where she should be, and all limbs/fingers/toes seems to be in order. :) And YES, I did say SHE! Baby Ryan Marie Taylor! Owen will be getting a baby sister! 

Andy was so happy when we found out, there was a little gloating coming from his end... I was a little freaked out, as I have 3 brothers and a son, so I was just expecting it to be a boy! Do not have expectations! 

I am even bigger than I was a couple weeks ago it seems. My back aches constantly, and I have a hard time bending over without grunting. Very attractive. Ryan is a little nuisance with her constant kicking and crazy antics, I got NO sleep last night. Literally, none. I was really hoping for one calm kid, since Owen is such a ball of energy. No such luck it seems. (No expectations, no expectations, no expectations!) Andy says he blames me for our hyper kids!! 

I am still craving sweets like crazy, I just don't understand the sugar lust... But nevertheless it is what I want. I ate pumpkin pie and cool whip at 5 am this morning... 

I have to get up to pee at least 3 times a night, it is a ton of fun let me tell you... I feel so sleep deprived already... School is not going too great. It is a struggle to get things done. I am just too mentally/physically tired! I can't breathe out of my nose 99% of the time, because I am so congested all of the time. So awesome! Lol... 

I developed some amazing awesome attractive issues lately... I always at night have dry mouth, because  I can't sleep with my mouth closed. My nose is too congested. Well with my allergies seemingly worse, I have to take my allergy meds everyday, and they dry your mouth out even more than it would be normally. So I am super excited to be battling Xerostomia. My lips are unbearably chapped, and the corners of my mouth are reminiscent of a child who licks their lips too much. My teenage-esque skin is breaking out, and it is just all so WONDERFUL! I am probably one of the least sexy or attractive pregnant women. Ever. In the history of all time. In the universe. 

I am also getting paler, with the winter months right around the corner. Pale does not suit me. Tan suits me. But tanning pregnant is a no-no. Especially if I wanna get rid of/fade most of my stretch marks again. Ugh. But I am going to be soooo  ghostly. BUT despite all of that the baby is healthy! So HURRAY! 

Well, that is about it for my update. Soon I will have to take some pictures of some of the nice work I have done with the house and post those. I am pretty proud, being the shopping hating, least creative/decorative person I know!
