She's getting bigger...

22 weeks today!!! Our dear baby is definitely getting bigger. I cannot put my socks on standing up anymore because my stomach's too big! I figured that out yesterday. My arms couldn't get past the bump to reach my feet. I can't believe it.

Another realization I had yesterday was walking home from school. I felt quite explosive. Sometimes the skin on my stomach feels like it is literally stretching. As I was walking down the hill, I held my stomach because it was uncomfortable walking with an explosive stomach.

After these realization I may have had slight anxiety. I knew about baby since she was 1 month old, and especially during the nauseating times, but now..... now it feels like I am actually having a real life baby. I don't exactly know how to describe it..... feelings of utter amazement mixed with shear terror. For one, my body can nurture a fertilized egg to a fetus...wow. Second, this fetus is a human being! Third, this human being is inside of me! What?! I think this is one of the reasons why a baby takes 9 months to grow. The shock never goes away, but you just learn to cope with it better... you get used to it. And by the time the baby actually is welcomed into the world, you are better able to handle crazy things, like a baby. Anyways, class now.
