I say this every time I post but time is flying by; I cannot believe we are 22 weeks with baby #2 already!!! The pictures below are the closest comparison I have for now, I will take another one at 24 weeks for better comparison. Check out how low Manna is compared to Addison, WOW!
22 weeks, 1 Day with Lil Manna
24 weeks with Addison
Once Manna started to move where I can feel it, he/she hasn't stopped yet. There is literally very few moments (when I am actually sitting still) that Manna is not bouncing and kicking and flipping around. Manna better enjoy all the room and fluid while it can because if this one is anything like Addison, it will run out of room FAST and be BIG.
Here is a lil info on Manna:
At 11 inches (the length of a spaghetti squash) and almost 1 pound, your baby is starting to look like a miniature newborn. His lips, eyelids, and eyebrows are becoming more distinct, and he's even developing tiny tooth buds beneath his gums. His eyes have formed, but his irises (the colored part of the eye) still lack pigment. If you could see inside your womb, you'd be able to spot the fine hair (lanugo) that covers his body and the deep wrinkles on his skin, which he'll sport until he adds a padding of fat to fill them in. Inside his belly, his pancreas — essential for the production of some important hormones — is developing steadily.
How I am Feeling:
Overall, zero complaints. I love it!!!! I am occasionally a little tired but I think that is from Addison, not Manna :) I LOVE this part of the pregnancy...I LOVE feeling movement!
Prayers:
Father, please continue to grow this baby big, healthy and strong. Thank you again for this honor and privilege. Thank you for your blessings. Thank you for every little movement whether comfortable or not, we know each movement is the reassurance you bless us with that everything is going well!!!
You look AMAZING and I love your prayer :)
