It doesnt seem like I feel her moving as often lately. I dont know if she is actually moving less or if I have become more accustomed to feeling her move so I"m just less aware of it. Either way, this has become 1 of my new worries/obsessions (depends who you ask- worry? or obsession?)
My next worry/obsession is that she is not growing enough b/c it doesnt seem like my belly is growing enough. Let me clarify that I am fully aware my belly has grown from pre-pregnancy b/c NONE of my pants button. Nonetheless, based on everyone/everything else I see my belly does not look 22 weeks. Someone at work asked me "oh, are you expecting a small baby?"..... I wont even bother typing some of my possible responses. To clarify another point, I do not wish to/want to be huge. I do just want to be sure I am big enough for her to grow/be big enough. Everyone says, dont wish it upon yourself, the belly will come....... I guess I should listen to the masses. OR I could just find out from the doctor tomorrow. :)
Week 22, here's what's going on with baby-

Baby's settling into sleep cycles, snoozing about 12 to 14 hours a day. It shouldn't be hard to figure out when -- just pay attention to those kicks as they start and stop.
Your baby's senses are developing daily. The fetus now has a full complement of neurons in the brain and is learning about her body and surroundings through touch. Touch is one of the first senses to mature and your baby may stroke its face or feel her arms and legs. Your baby now shows an extremely rapid brain growth(which lasts until five years after birth).
Your baby's body continues to grow and develop every day. The organ systems in your baby's body are becoming specialized for their particular functions.
Sounds from a conversation are loud enough to be heard by the fetus in the uterus. If you talk, read, or sing to your baby, it's reasonable to expect him or her to be able to hear you.
