22 Weeks Comparisons  

Posted by: Jenna

So, as you may know, I've been trying so hard to eat healthy and exercise this pregnancy to keep my weight gain under control. I looked back at my pregnancy journal from Greenlee and at 24 weeks I had gained 19 pounds! Total insanity. I really don't even know how I let that happen! This time, at 22 weeks, I have gained around 3 or 4 pounds (I fluctuate back and forth). What a difference. Gosh, no wonder I had some serious back pain last time! Anyways, here is a fun comparison between my two pregnancies. I'm going to keep posting these as time goes by for motivation and just for fun.

23 Weeks pregnant with Greenlee. Whoa BABY!


22 Weeks Pregnant with Porter

It's A Boy!

Well folks, there is no denying as you can see...we are having a little boy!


Here is our sleepy little guy sucking his thumb. He was trying to sleep through the whole ultrasound.

Here is a nice profile pic. He weighed 8 ounces as of January 31st. Everything looks good and he is as healthy as can be seen via ultrasound. We are praying he has no medical issues, especially the congenital hypothyroidism.

I am 20 weeks and have gained 2 pounds total, so the doctor is very happy with me! At 20 weeks with Greenlee I had gained 10 pounds! I'm still working out 5 times a week for about an hour each time and I've been able to keep doing my spin classes 3 times a week. I truly believe that exercise has helped me have a much better pregnancy this time around. I've noticed a difference even in my mental state. Working out is definitely good for the body, mind, and soul. I really don't have any other updates for you because everything is going great...I've had a wonderful pregnancy so far. Until next time, we continue to pray for our little boy, Porter, as he grows.
