It's a.....baby update!

In case you missed the last blog:

It's a....
 GIRL

How far along? 21 weeks

Weight gain? Umm more than I'd like to say :)

Maternity Clothes? In the beginning I preferred the middle band pants, but now I much prefer the high band pants or the very low pants.

Size of baby?14 ounces

Boy or Girl? GIRL!! We couldn't be happier! SHE is perfect. We got to see HER so much including HER brain and heart (actually moving)! SHE was sucking HER thumb (assuming thumb, but could have been fist).

Movement? I first felt Baby at 18 weeks. It felt like little muscle spasms or flutters and I've been feeling them ever since, but not enough for Steve to feel yet.

Sleep? Going well, I'm now used to getting up quickly or knowing when to stop drinking water at night. Although the past week I started waking up for no reason.

Food Cravings? I still don't agree that cravings exist, but I really enjoy having an egg once a day. (scrambled, over-easy, hard-boiled) I also love having a fruit bowl and of course my ice cream. :)  I have lost my taste for cold raw veggies also. :(

What I miss? Lying on my back (which is funny because I never wanted to before)

Symptoms? I've had acid reflux quite a bit and learned that for me eating a little more such as a bite of something helps it stop.

Looking forward to? Trying out different names

Daddy-to-Be's thoughts: I am uh...it's uh I don't even know. This is the best, most important big "thing" in my life. It's different than anything I've ever experienced. I've been thinking, for the past couple of years, that I am ready for it, and not that I don't feel ready now, but now that it's actually here it's pretty intense. Thinking about all the fun stuff we will get to do with HER, taking HER camping, playing soccer with HER, taking HER to the beach. Wondering what kind of person SHE will be and what SHE will like.
