Week 22 - Everything You Wanted to Know and Everything I Want to Remember

How far along:  22 weeks  1 day
Total weight gain/loss:  Up 12 lbs. (Current weight = 110 lbs)
Maternity clothes:  Definitely wearing them now.  Mostly jeans and a few tops. Fortunately I can still find loose non-maternity fashions to fit me, though it is getting harder.
Stretch marks:  Still none (Thank God)
Sleep:  Uncomfortable.  Lots of back pain.  Some hip pain.  I seem to toss and turn a lot trying to get comfortable.  Have started sleeping with a pillow tucked under by belly and boobs which helps a bit.
Movement:  Lots of movement these days.  Especially (like now) when I'm sitting quietly at my desk at work.   Also movement at night when I go to bed and am lying there trying to fall asleep.  Recently saw my stomach 'jump' from the outside - it was amazing!
Cravings:  I'm craving just one night of uninterrupted sleep!  Food cravings - none
Aversions:  Maternity clothes - it's so hard to find decent looking ones that don't make me want to vomit.  Food aversions - none
Gender:  Boy (see She's a He post below).  Mr Scout still thinks it's a girl (he didn't want to know) and all our family and friends think girl.  Boy, are they going to be surprised :)
Symptoms:  Mildly sore hip, constant back pain, constantly congested, huge boobs (ugh, I hate them!)
What I miss:  My pre-pregnancy size zero body :(
What I look forward to:  Meeting my new little man! 
Moods:  Excited.  Happy.  Positive.
Milestones:  Anatomy ultrasound was perfectly normal!
Medical Concerns:  None
Weekly Wisdom:  Embrace being pregnant and try not to sweat the small stuff - it's goes by too fast
Worst moment this week:  None.  I really am so happy.
Best moment this week:  Taking a day off and reading out loud to Cub Scout while lying in bed.
