22 weeks: hello, belly!

Here it is...

I like that you can see the dog's steps behind me that he uses to get up on the bed. Nice. I always feel like my belly is bigger than it looks in these pictures, though-- you're probably all wondering how in the heck I knocked anything over with that! It is a bit more cumbersome than you'd think, though, especially when you're not used to sticking out in front.

I've got to get to bed, but I do have to say... ever since the ultrasound, I've felt a lot more at peace with this pregnancy. I don't know whether it was seeing the baby, or having Tyler get all excited by seeing the baby, or feeling it move so much lately, or just passing the halfway point-- but something seems different now, and I just feel calmer and... expectant. Instead of always freaking the heck out over the little things.
