Pregnancy - Day 155

Today I am 155 days pregnant (22 weeks 1day).

I missed posting last week, it's just been a little crazy

in the Robinson house lately. With Alli Jo starting

preschool/daycare and Hunter starting up her activities

added to my full-time and part-time jobs....

mommy is going a little nuts :)

On September 11th I had my diagnostic OB appt. They
did a detailed ultrasound to make sure baby is

developing normally. And thank God everything looks great!

She checked Stella's spine, head, heart, blood flow to heart,
her stomach, hands, feet, and much more!
My placenta is behind Stella and her head is down....both
great to hear! Her heartbeat was right around 140 again :)

She weighs around 14oz!

And of course I had to ask..........

So it looks like Stella it will be :)

We will keep her middle name a secret, in case this is our

last baby...we have something a surprise!!

So what's going on with Stella this week????

At 11 inches and almost 1 pound, baby is starting

to look like a miniature newborn. Her lips, eyelids, and

eyebrows are becoming more distinct, and she's even

developing tiny tooth buds beneath her gums. Her eyes

have formed, but her 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
her body and the deep wrinkles on her skin, which she'll

sport until she adds a padding of fat to fill them in. Inside

her belly, her pancreas — essential for the production of

some important hormones — is developing steadily.

I don't feel much different this week, besides the steady

kicks Stella gives me durning the day and night :)

Best feeling in the world!

The nausea is still there in the mornings...but very

manageable now!

I think last appointment I had gained 3lbs.

We did get Stella's room painted.....well Joe did :)

Here are a few pictures from my cell phone
