5 months in my pregnancy - 22 weeks

Another nice month in this pregnancy that brought me an open mind in this area!

Everyday is different; Some day I feel great and I enjoy it, while some others are a bit challenging.
I was able to do a little walk not long ago without contractions (I had contractions since month 4; it's getting better now) and it felt very good.

I had 2 night with striking leg pain (thing that I never had before as well as the ligaments pain!);
So I did some research and applied some tips that helped me, like some little exercises,  hot water, a pillow under my feet when I sleep and I am trying to drink more.
With these pain I decided to check my magnesium, calcium, iron, sodium and other minerals in my blood and everything was fine! (it cost me $32)

This baby seems to take so much space in my belly! I feel that I am as big at 5 months than I was at 36 weeks for my first kids! my belly is pretty tense.
Baby is very active too, especially when I lay down!

I finished to read the book that I was talking about last month; It was a good book with lots of information;
and I read Angela Stokes-Monarch ebook : A gentle start, that is full of great advices for new moms and a good reminder for others with a good resources of links:

On the food side, I love green juices and I like trying new combination;

I also enjoy fresh veggies and sometime to time a sweet treat like raw brownie with fruits and melted chocolate (but also sometimes a baked pastry!).

I started to crochet some baby clothes; Check my crafty blog if you want!...

It feels good to be creative again!

Thank you for stopping by! 

I'll be happy if you want to left me a little note!

Does anyone have something to share about home birth?
