22.5 weeks! Happy Valentines day!

Well bump is definitely the word! I have started to expand and actually look pregnant this last couple of weeks which has been nice! Its really strange feeling your body tighten around this little being!!
Touch wood the stretch marks haven't appeared YET!!! But i do have old ones from growing and weight gain/loss that are definitely starting to feel a bit deeper  :/ I am slapping on the cream though, every morning and it sits on my skin all day, so i hope that is helping somewhat...
My ribs have been painful at times at night time, particularly on my right hand side. I have read up on this and it seems alot of ladies get it so i am not too worried and a good stretch seems to help.
My appetite is increasing the last couple of weeks too! This frightens me a little as i don't want to put on tonnes of weight..i had gained 10lbs by 20 weeks, and i haven't been brave enough to weigh again since!
Baby goes through periods of good movement and days of quiet. Drinking sweet or cold things is a good tip tough to check she's still there!! Teee hee!
Sleep has been improving a little and pee trips are prob down to 2 or 3 a night now, depending on how late i drink!
Oranges and ice pops are my thing at the moment, although the last couple days i have had a need to eat a little chocolate (1 small bar over 2 days lol) - i am so scared of getting out of control weight wise!
My face is a bit spotty at the moment in the chin area, which was classic before i was pregnant and is a little depressing!
My usual complaints have all but gone, my pelvis is still painful at times but the physio did wonders and i am due to see her again this week so hopefully all will be well for the next few weeks!
Thinking of everyone who is near the end of their pregnancies!!! Its exciting reading up on you all - best of luck!
We have been given 5 massive bags of girls baby clothes that will see her through til about 18 months old!!! We may have to buy a few new things, but we are grateful for the help!! Now we really need to think about furniture for her room to put all her things into!!! We had so many nappy vouchers from various shops that we are quite stocked up on those too!
Love and hugs
