21 weeks

• How far along? 21 weeks
• Maternity clothes? Yes..can't wait for my new shorts from mom-in-law to arrive..its SO hot here in Sig!! & got a box from Mama today...still have to go try on my new bathing suit & goodies:) (PS Mom- Thanks for embracing the 2-piece!)
• Stretch marks? No
• Sleep: Love. sleep. Also getting a little more used to my new sleeping positions. & the amount of bathroom trips continues to rise.
• Best moment this week: Our 20 week ultrasound!! Got to watch them measure everything & tell us that baby looks healthy! & found out we are having a baby girl!! Best day so far:)
• Miss Anything? My longing for hot dogs continues..but its getting better..it seems to help that hub keeps making awesome BBQ! 
• Movement: Lots of rumblings! Found out my placenta (sorry guys, and mom) is in the front so that explains why I don't feel lots of big kicks, but I can definitely feel movement! 
• Food cravings: Starting to crave sweets! Ah! Trying to fight it...well sort of
• Anything making you queasy or sick: No
• Have you started to show yet: Yes..its quite obvious I'm prego now (& not just chubby) :)
• Gender: its a GIRL!
• Labor Signs: No
• Belly Button in or out? In
• Wedding rings on or off? On
• Mood: Joyful!
• Looking forward to: Meeting her! I've always heard parents say this when they were expecting...it just seemed so far off for us before...but now that we saw her again & found out its a girl..I just can't wait to hold her in my arms! Plus my volunteer work consists of assessing/holding/talking to & about newborns all the time so it kinda makes me want to see & hold my own!
• Anything else? I have gained somewhere around 13 lbs so far! Its hard to keep up with it because I got out of the habit of weighing myself most mornings (didn't want to obsess over it) & I eat all day + drink tons of water so it fluctuates. Anyway..I guess I'm doing pretty good! (At least my sweet friends tell me so!) Trying to eat all my fruits & veggies + exercise..but still Must. Have. Chocolate. :)

The morning of our 20 week ultrasound! (20 weeks 3 days)

Baby girl's profile -She weighs 12oz (give or take 2oz)

little foot!

So we got excited..& went shopping after the appointment..we couldn't help ourselves

Then Rob went back to work & I played in the kitchen!

The friends these cupcakes were meant for ended up finding out before they even came over for cupcakes! But who cares..we were still excited & they were still yummy. & it was a fun way to share the news on Facebook

it's a girl :)

Shannon & Jen acting surprised!

Rob & I were definitely surprised when they told us its a GIRL. That silly lady told us at my 12 week ultrasound that her guess was BOY. We totally knew this was just a guess. But it defnitely got us thinking BOY..boy names..boy nursery..boy boy boy. When we found out we are having a girl...we got SO excited! A whole new excitement. We would be so happy either way & we are just thankful to have a healthy baby. But after thinking BOY for months..it feels all new again! Now we get to think of GIRL things..girl names..girl nursery..girl clothes. It's great. We are thrilled:)
