22 Weeks, 4 days.

So now I think it is safe to say that we are just past half way and baby is now really active. At 19cm long and weighing in at about 350g (350? Then why have I gained 7kgs?) He is packing quite a punch! He kicks in the morning, then at about lunch time, then in the late afternoon, then in the evening and he lulls me to sleep with his kicks at 9pm.

You are now the size of a small pawpaw…hearing everything I say. I hope you find my voice soothing, especially when I am singing in traffic, lol.

Now am so noticeably pregnant, everyone I know gives me that knowing smile, or accepting nod; some even stand up and ululate- like your great Uncle Sekitto. He stood up, danced, while clapping and singing endearing poems for me. “Finally!” most of my relatives said, “you have done a good thing.”- They think!

As if my ever-expanding belly wasn't enough — now my feet are getting in on the act! My shoes do not fit no more (sob sob).

I asked by OB about my birth plan and she says is too soon to discuss it. I am anxious to know how you are coming out. All the squatting, and drinking of clay, yes clay- (your Dad thinks it’s something else) will not go unrewarded, I gotta push!

The nipple pain! God grief! No one told me about this and how painful it is, banange! My nipples usually get hard and so ridiculously painful I am sure a tear or two roll down my cheeks. Its like a nail has been driven through them.

My belly button is now flat- level with the tummy… soon it will be an outie and I will look a child with a protruding navel… ah life!

This morning i am too lazy to stand up and take a pic, so here is one while am sited at my desk.
