21 Weeks!

How far along? 21 weeks and 2 days

Total weight gain: Probably about 14-15 lbs? Haven’t weighed myself this week.

How big is baby? About the length of a banana, a really long banana…about 10.5 inches long and somewhere around 12 oz.  

The Bump: Feeling like I have an official preggo belly (why was my non-preg belly never this firm?).  The Hubs came home the other day and commented that I looked super pregnant. Must have had a growth spurt while he was at work. 

Maternity clothes? Gap Maternity t-shirts and non-maternity sweatpants are kind of my jam these days. I've also just purchased some cool weather tops for our trip to north Georgia at the end of the month.

Stretch marks? None yet.

Sleep? Some nights are better than others. Lots of tossing and turning to get and stay comfortable. I end up in the guest room most nights so the Hubs can get a good night's sleep. And it's impossible to sleep past 7:15 thanks to hunger pangs. 

Best moment this week? The crib arrived today!!!!!    

How are you feeling? This week, I’ve been trying to do too much and am feeling exhausted. Spending my days with a lazy yellow lab doesn’t help! She’s such a bad influence!! 

This is how Scout spends most of her afternoons. Such a bum!!

Miss anything? My brain! (That was actually the Hubs' idea...that's how brain-dead I am these days!!) 

Movement? Not as much as I would like. What I do feel is probably gas, but I’m pretending it’s the Baby Tuna swimming around in there.

Food cravings? Nutella, Honey Nut Cheerios, egg salad sandwiches, and Jello pudding

Aversions?  Nothing new this week.

Anything make you queasy or sick? Talking about getting sick.

Gender: IT’S A GIRL!!!

Any names picked out? We think we have a first name picked out, but you suckers will just have to wait until the big day to find out! :oP

Labor signs? No

Belly button in or out? Still an inny.

Wedding rings on or off? On

Mood?  Feeling pretty good these days.

Looking forward to: Feeling Baby Tuna moving around, and finishing clearing out the nursery (we’ve been working in slow-motion, but we’re almost done!!)


It's about time we got started on our registry! Being huge nerds, we've done some research, listened to friends' opinions, and read the Baby Bargains book cover to cover (Thanks for the suggestion Allison and Erin. That book was a huge help in weeding through all the options.) . Our big dilemma now is knowing where to register. We've heard good and bad things about the usual places (Target, Babies R Us, Amazon and Buy Buy Baby) making it tougher to decide. So, all of you new (and new-ish) mommies out there...where did you register? And would you use them again? Please comment below (comments should be open to everyone now, but won't show up immediately so that I can approve them to keep out the riff-raff). You can also comment on Facebook.
