22 Weeks Pregnant!!!

How big is my baby at 22 weeks?

Guess what? Now that you're 22 weeks pregnant, your baby, who’s about the size of a small doll, has finally broken the 1-pound mark.

How heavy is that? Hold a 1-pound bag of sugar in your arms the next time you're in the grocery store — and expect people to ask you why you're grinning from ear to ear.

Is the bag 11 inches long? That's about the length your baby is too!

Baby's grip, vision and hearing are getting stronger

This week, your Owen is making more sense of the world as he develops his sense of touch.

In fact, his grip is quite strong now, and since there's nothing else to grab in utero, he may sometimes hold on tight to that umbilical cord. Don't worry — it's tough enough to handle it.

The sense of sight is also becoming more fine-tuned. Owen can now perceive light and dark much better than before, even with those fused eyelids.

Owen can also hear voices, Mommy’s heartbeat, her gurgling stomach and the whoosh-whoosh of blood circulating through her body!

Also,Blood sugars have been more stable with insulin. Mommy is just tired all the time 😴
