We (mostly me) have been searching like crazy for the perfect nursery furniture and decorations...and FINALLY a plan. We will start construction in a week...YAY!
How far along? 21 weeks
Baby size: Length of a Carrot :) 10 1/2 inches
Total weight gain/loss:+17 pounds Looks like I am at 1 pound a week, I have made a goal to no gain over 40...we will see how that goes!
Maternity clothes? Yup! Used my "Bump Bucks" last weekend and go shorts and some new shirts, always exciting to find clothes I feel cute in :)
Stretch marks? Tragic, 1 on the right, 3 on the left hip. I am cocoa buttering like crazy, Danny said to give into them but I just can't
Sleep: Even without the dogs up before 7 everyday this week, kind of a nice feeling being on time for work. Last night I have my first crazy pregnancy dream so I have been up since 3:45 this morning :( Hoping to not make that a habit as it made me exhausted ALL DAY!
Best moment this week: We finished organizing all the rooms and closets in the house. Oh and work went by FAST!
Movement: Not yet, I am feeling kind of sad/worried that it hasn't started yet but I think i will be grateful once she is dancing in the middle of the night :)
Food cravings: Loaded Baked Potatoes have been my dinner of choice this week
Miss anything?: Normaly sleep (don't think this will ever come back) and my ability to control my weight. I may not have always done it but this week I feel helpless and not loving my EXTRA large look.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not this week...
Have you started to show yet: Oh boy, I am sure I will be getting the "are you having twins" line soon...which I am NOT so that makes it tragic. We have a couple of friends that are a few weeks behind us and most of them are BARELY showing...not this girl.
Gender Predictions: Beautiful Baby GIRL!!
Symptoms: Ever growing belly, vericose veins :(
Labor Signs: Nope!
Belly Button in or out? In, but not as "deep" as it used to look.
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody?: Pretty happy this week, but that can flip like a light switch if you are the right person and most likely work at Red Lion :) or are a crazy client!
Looking forward to: Hoopfest this weekend! One of my favorite weekends of the year and GREAT friends. We are going to Walla Walla for the 4th to pick up our babies and have a BBQ with the family and starting to purchase items for the decorating :)

I just wanted to make you feel better about two things... Well, hopefully. I have been a nazi about tracking my weight gain and I gained a lot fast. No one ever asked me if I was having twins :) I was able to control the gain after 25 weeks a little better. (and was at 25lbs by then). Also, I didn't feel kicks until week 22 or 23. Now it never ever stops, so fear not, you have lots to look forward to. Plus it really hurts now. :( love these posts! Keep them coming !!
