Pregnancy Journal - 21 Weeks

How Far Along? 21 Weeks

Size of Baby: Banana - 10.51 inches and 12.70 oz 

Gender: GIRL!!!

Maternity Clothes: Holding strong with what I've got but on the hunt for a pretty baby shower dress. Any suggestions? Oh and my mom helped me discover maternity clothes on ebay...oops.

Best Moment This Week: Zoey had a little dance party one evening this weekend and Chris felt her kick for the first time!! It was more exciting than when I felt her move for the first time! Plus, it meant I wasn't imagining it after all... We also registered at Buy Buy Baby! It was a lot of fun but EXHAUSTING! We still have lots to add but we did make some major and important decisions.

Nursery: Her room is still awaiting paint but we have big plans to purchase her furniture this weekend. :) Look for a post about my thoughts on baby furniture and what we decided.

Movement: She's still kicking pretty frequently but I can never predict when she'll be most active! This morning she was somersaulting (very unique feeling) while I was teaching my 1st period class and this evening she's been fairly quiet. She does like to start up her dance parties at about 2 AM...sleep has been interesting but I'm just so happy to know she's in there that I don't care! She stuck her foot out at my doctor's appointment and made my stomach go lopsided...she's already so entertaining!

Cravings: Hard boiled eggs and breakfast foods...I'm also eating lots of salads and fruit.

Symptoms: Growing belly!! I must have reached the point where people are noticing because several adorable students have very timidly asked me if I'm pregnant. No stretch marks yet!

Sleep: Sleep has been good despite my sweet daughter's night owl tendencies. 

What I Miss: Can't think of a thing...

Looking Forward to: Buying Zoey's furniture and spending some time with some family and friends!
