Risotto For Breakfast at 22 weeks

Does having leftover Risotto for breakfast count as a pregnancy craving? I'll go a head and say "yes"... because this justification makes me feel better...since I've slacked as a housewife and haven't been to the grocery in 2 weeks! At least we have coffee, and as long as we have some pretentious coffee available my husband doesn't complain :)

I have hit the 22 week mark and I HAVE A BELLY! It's small, but when I pooch it out and flex my ab muscles you can really tell it's there. haha. Strangers still don't notice and I think it will be a few more weeks until they do. My husband said the other night, "okay maybe you aren't lying about this pregnancy thing...I believe you now!" Hehe. That little stinker! I can still wear my jeans and regular clothes (thankfully the style of pants these days is so low cut!) But I'm starting to gravitate toward NOT wearing tight fitting dresses and shirts. When I wore a tighter fitting dress to church this Sunday I felt like a sausage casing and have decided to

relinquish them until after the baby :)

Here is the Belly Shot! You can really see a bump now! But I think strangers probably think I just need to lay off the Cheetos!

The baby's name will be Caroline Wylie N***! I'm excited to call her by name... it seems more and more "real" everyday! She kicks up a storm and is making me less sick than ever!

I have gained about 3 pounds and I'm okay with that. I think mentally I'm getting to a place where I realize that any weight I gain is for Caroline and can easily be worked off postpartum! This has been a difficult mental block for me since day one, but I'm praying for God to help me be content with the BEAUTIFUL changes my body will make!

My husband is about to have some time off for Christmas, so I am eager to start working on Caroline's room! I don't have the BEST eye for decorating...but I have a lot of friends who do, so hopefully she will have a sweet baby girl nursery soon :) Any fun ideas would be greatly appreciated!
