21 WEEKS

So much has been happening over here now that our weather is getting better. We've been working on so many house projects, including the nursery and I can't even wait to see how things turn out! 

How far along: 21 weeks

Gender: Girl!

Weight gain: Im up 6 lbs from pre-pregnancy, ugh that's so hard to see on the scale

Maternity clothes: Moving in to wearing mostly maternity clothes now. Regular shirts just aren't long enough!

Stretch marks: None yet

Belly button in or out: Still in... not sure for how much longer

Sleep: been sleeping really bad this week. I sleep in all positions most of the time, and now that I'm only allowed to sleep on my side, I'm having a hard time. Plus my 4.5 pound who thinks he's 40 pound dog sleeping in the middle doesn't help!

Best moment this week: feeling like summer here! Chuck and I planted our chili pepper plants and pots in the front yard, and I had so much fun with all my nieces and my nephew at our Memorial Day picnic! My niece Pearl is obsessed with Chuck, it's the CUTEST thing! Makes me feel all kinds of butterflies thinking about our little girl with him!

Worst moment this week: going back to work after a long weekend full of sunshine

Miss anything: this week I'm really missing sleep

Movement: We're actually seeing her little kicks from the outside already, its incredible!

Cravings: This week, muffins. I've been buying Heinens bakery muffins and eat one every day. The cinnamon coffee cakes ones are TO.DIE.

Queasy or sick: Haven't felt too sick in a while, but my stomach definitely gets uncomfortable after every meal

Looking forward to: My mom and sister-in-law started planning my shower. Those 2 could probably rule the world if you told them they're in charge, so I'm ALREADY excited for it!

20 weeks. It's a.......

GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How far along: 20 weeks

Gender: GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't even believe we finally know and can call this little pumpkin by her soon to be name!

Weight gain:  I'm up only 2 lbs still! Hoping that walking is paying off

Maternity clothes: Maternity pants are so comfy, I only have 2 pairs and feel like I should just replace all my jeans with them!

Stretch marks: None yet

Belly button in or out: In, but boy does it look deep

Sleep: this one is up in the air. I sleep pretty good until Chucks alarm goes off at 6am. I don't get up til 7am (okay 7:45am) so I just toss and turn for 1-2 hours.

Best moment this week: The gender reveal ultrasound. Chuck wasn't going to be able to go because of work, and TOTALLY made my day when he got out early and got to be there! And having my mom there was extra special!

Worst moment this week: Chuck having a really bad cold and feeling so miserable. He never gets sick, so when he does, I feel terrible for him

Miss anything: I still really miss a good sweaty work out, and now that picnics and dinners on the deck are happening, I miss cocktails. (sorry, just being honest)

Movement: She kicks so much, its the best feeling ever

Cravings: Starbucks White Chocolate Mocha's! Iced or hot, I've been LOVING them every morning

Queasy or sick: I felt great this week. I hope this is behind me

Looking forward to: All the amazing things we have planned for baby girls nursery, and finishing up some house projects before she makes her debut! It REALLY helps to have a husband who basically knows how to do everything from building a pedestal, to mounting a TV, to building a chicken run! (yes, we have chickens)

Sleep: Sleeping pretty good with my Snoogle pillow. I don't know why I waited to get pregnant to get one of these. Amazing

Best moment this week: Seeing baby kick from the outside! HOW CRAZY!!!

Worst moment this week: 50 degrees... BOOOO!!!

Miss anything: I miss a really good sweaty work out, since I was so sick in the beginning I lost all my motivation to work out, now it's that much harder to get back into it. I've been walking 3 miles 3-4 times a week with my mom and its helping

Movement: SO MUCH. All day long. I absolutely love it.

Queasy or sick: I still get a little queasy when my stomach gets empty.

Miss anything: SUSHI! I've been ordering my favorite roll from Sumo Boy without the raw salmon on it, and it's just not the same! I may, or may not, have been to Sumo Boy 3 times in 1 week

Movement: feeling SOO much now. I love it!!!! Feeling baby roll and move, and finally feeling some kicks!

Cravings: Mexican Coca Cola. Holy crap it's good! I stick one in the freezer at dinner, and then count down minutes until I think it's cold enough to have as a little "Dessert"
