Being Pregnant
22 Weeks Pregnant – Sleep Where Are You?
This week marks 22 weeks of pregnancy. Not quite sure how I got here, oh yeah that’s right.
Sleep, I MISS YOU.
The lack of sleep is catching up with me. Between still recovering from being out of town, insomnia, anemia, PEEING, 3 kids and a load of stress – this mom is ready to buy a hyperbolic chamber and disappear for a few days into La-La land. If it were only that easy!
My BabyMy daughter's drawing of me
All is good with our little Quatro (what we call baby #4). I’m growing fine and other than this lack of sleep piece, I shouldn’t be complaining.
According to Babble’s My Pregnancy Guide, my baby is the size of a coconut. A coconut? Feels and looks more like I’m carrying a watermelon, but whatever.
The Family
The older kids are excited to be welcoming a new baby. My daughter adores me pregnant, see drawing. She talks about, next time when I’m pregnant – I think she really thinks we’re going to have 10 kids. She should know by now not to take me serious.
My oldest son, kisses my belly each night and several times a day, comes over and just starts talking to it, “Hi Quatro, It’s your big brother!” or some other sweet innocent message.
Our baby turned 1 year. He is oblivious to what’s in store for him.
Water, My Best Friend & Enemy
Typical, non-pregnant Molly is terrible at drinking water. Pregnant Molly dies without it. Seriously, I start panting like a puppy and my stomach cramps and the need for water has me pulling into wherever to purchase it. But with all this water drinking, the water becomes my enemy. The peeing must stop! As mentioned before, I pee all the time. The more pregnant I get, I really think the more I pee. Last night’s wake up count, 4 times! Yep, 4 times in 6 hours of sleep, I woke up to pee. LOVELY!
Bring It On 23 Weeks!
Does anyone know, can you rent hyperbolic chambers?

Mary Green commented on Mar 28 11 at 8:09 amI’m 22 weeks now, so I am guessing you are a little ahead of me. I go to the bathroom not stop. It drives me INSANE! I literally go to the bathroom and then need to get back up 5 minutes later as if the baby moved and decided to let the rest out. Sometimes I go just because I’m afraid I might have to go and get caught in a situation, lol! Love your blog, congrats on baby #4, this is my third.
JLR commented on Mar 30 11 at 9:50 pmYeah, I hate the babble pregnancy guide photos. Whoever posed for those photos (if they are real as opposed to computer generated anyway) was really thin to begin. I am 26 weeks and I look nothing like the “Your Body: 27 Weeks” photo. That’s probably what my tummy looked like at 20 weeks!
