22 weeks

I am 22 weeks along now..my doctor's appt. yesterday went well and everything continues to be going smoothly. The dr. said that my uterus is right where it's supposed to be (whatever that means!!).

Here's what my daily e-mail from whattoexpect.com has to say about our baby:
At eight inches and slightly over a pound, your baby is the size and shape of a small doll. This week marks the beginning of some serious weight gain. Your baby's weight in the next four weeks alone should double (and you may feel as though yours is too).
By now you can hear your baby's heart beat through a standard stethoscope. What a heart throb!

Your baby's skin is reddish in color now because of the developing blood vessels underneath (remember, the skin is very thin still). It also hangs loosely from his or her little body at this point. That's because the skin grows faster than the fat develops. But don't worry. By the time your baby is born, he or she will be pleasantly plump and filled out — from chubby cheeks to chubby toes.

Sounds like some major changes are on the way in the next few weeks!
