Hello friends, family, and devoted readers.
It is now the 22 week mark, and we are excited about that. Eva has been riding a rollercoaster of feeling decent and disgusting. We recently traveled to Chicago for our very close friend’s wedding. Our Docs at Duke told us not to worry, “Your cervix looks like Fort Knox.” Which we are stoked about.
The trip to Chicago did have its pit falls. The flight was miserable for her. The changes in altitude and pressure made Eva’s tummy feel like she was microwaving popcorn. Then came the vomitting and dehydration, top that off with a day at the hospital for fluid and monitoring, and that was our trip. The wedding was absolutely beautiful and we did enjoy as much as possible.
Eva went to Duke Hospital when we returned for more fluid. Had a miserable time there. I think we are going to switch to UNC. We really feel like we are not being followed close enough – we dont like being a number.
I took some photos tonight to comemorate our 22 week point. Here is a comparison of 19 weeks to 22 weeks. She is-a-growin!!

Jay and Eva,
Congrats on the 22 week mark. Eva you look great.
I am two weeks behind you. My husband Dan commented earlier, but we only now saw your response.
I recommend a prenatal cradle if you haven’t already gotten one. It is great support for your tummy.

Eva you look great!!! really….im not just saying that. Congrats on 22weeks! I hit 20wks next monday. I also recomend the pregnancy wedge..for sleeping to relieve pressure.
Oh and good idea to switch hospitals, better to be over monitored than not.
love to you both.

Looking good. Have to say, we didn’t expect this site to have quite so much bare flesh!
Burps and slurps from our little miss.

I look at 30 weeks how you looked at 22 weeks. You look amazing. You are such a trooper. I wish I could be there to hug all four of you.
