So first I will share my latest belly pic with you guys, I am at WK22 now!! Still feeling pretty good just SUPER tired all the time no matter how much sleep I get (which isn't much!!) I think I'm getting used to it though because I still manage to get things done and more!! I've also started to experience some pressure in my lower belly; baby Evelyn is sitting very low and I can sure feel it. It started about two weeks ago, I can feel it with every step I take. But I hear it's pretty norm and I will only feel more pressure as she grows. So I just have to deal! My yoga instructor did tell me though that there are some positions I can do to ease it and I also decided that swimming helped it after going to the pool with my Niece and Nephew last weekend. Other than those things that's about the only discomfort I have. I have a Dr. appt next Wednesday; just a check up, no sono...excited to hear her heartbeat though and see how she is growing. She has been moving around A LOT more, especially in the past few days. I find that the more I'm moving around and then decide to sit, she will then start to move around. If I'm sitting for long periods of time she doesn't really move. Matt has been able to feel her a little more so that has been fun for him and myself...I love seeing his face light up!! I haven't been sleeping well for the past few weeks so I finally went out and bought the "Snoogle" or as I like to call Bumpie, Snaggle, Swoozie...I can never remember what it's called, Matt always has to remind me haha. Anyways, I tried it out last night on the couch and in bed and really like it so far. We will see if it helps! Matt snapped a pic of me sitting with it on the couch; you can't tell but it's all twirled up behind my back...so comfy:)
That's it for now but more to come!

Ok we'll it's WAY past my bed time...this thing is so hard to update with pictures, takes forever!! We will probably take a few weeks off from doing anything around the house because we have a busy and exciting few weeks ahead of us!! Two of Matt's sisters (Amy and Donna) and their families are visiting Houston next weekend so we are going down to visit with them:) Then the whole Woolen fam (Amy, Randy and our niece and nephew) are coming up to Dallas the following weekend for a wedding and will be staying with us! Matt and I are SO excited to hang out with Riley and Brooke, he's thinking of taking them to do some fishing and I'm thinking a fun picnic and kite flying sounds fun!! Can't wait:)
In my Week 20 baby update it says the baby is now the length of a banana!! Crazy!! It's so hard to believe I have a baby the size of a banana in my belly right now. Especially when I look down...I don't feel like my belly is reallly that big yet, she must just be all rolled up in a little ball! Oh and guess what...I definitely feel her moving and kicking around now!! It's so fun to just sit on the couch with Matt and watch for my belly to make some sort of move. They are pretty much just small little punches but the other night I was laying in bed watching TV and from the corner of my eye I saw the center of my belly shoot up!! I'm pretty sure it was her leg streching out. I yelled for Matt to come see but wouldn't you know it, she didn't do it again. Poor Matty, I can't wait for him to finally see the things I see. He's waiting so patiently. I'm sure she will be moving more and more soon enough!
