More than half way!


How far along: 21 weeks! Feelin' pretty excited about that!
Total weight gain: Zero pounds. Actually I'm negative. Unfortunately I'm still trying to gain back what I lost. Still haven't hit my pre-pregnancy weight. But I'm pretty sure all the brittle cookies, pumpkin rolls and maybe the obscene amounts of egg nog I've consumed over the holidays, will help with that!
Maternity clothes: Aren't maternity pants hot? Ha ha. No, I haven't ventured that far yet! I plan on living in my billion pairs of leggings my sweet husband got me for Christmas!
Stretch marks: Do the ones my twins gave me count? Cause if they do...HOLLA!
Sleep: I sleep with my husband and my boyfriend. (Travis calls my body pillow my boyfriend!) I would die if I didn't have either!
Best moment this week: Craving a doughnut and then eating one! (Thanks honey!) Cravings are such a funny thing to me. Because all of a sudden you're slammed with this overwhelming feeling for something weird...and you feel like a ravenous and insatiable animal ripping apart your house looking for the coveted item, just to satisfy said craving! It's the most awful feeling in the world...until you remember you married a sweetheart and he's standing there with a box full of overly glazed, super sticky doughnuts to comfort your baby and tummy! Best moment!
Miss anything: Missing my breath actually. I get winded just doing a sink full of dishes! I feel like I've just run a marathon walking from one room to another! But don't worry, I've already turned into the hypochondriac pregnant girl at my doctor's office and consulted with both the doc and her nurse! This is normal.
Movement: I love feeling this baby move inside me! I can't help but still feel like there's nothing in there...so when she literally kicks my butt, I love it!
Food cravings: See best moment this week. Plus, my cravings durning this pregnancy have been all over the place! With the twins, it was just hard boiled eggs and deli ham by the container full. This little girl is kinda making me crazy! I've craved everything from Taco Bell tacos with packets upon packets of MILD sauce, to freakin' beef flavored Ramen Noodles! Guuuuhhhhh-ross.
It seems it's something new every week...and Trav, bless his heart just tries to keep up!
Queasy or sick: Yeah, my back fat. Just kidding! Uhmmm...dealing with raw chicken makes me wanna gag. But I think that's appropriate behavior even when you're not pregnant.
Gender: Girl.
Labor signs: I sure hope not!
Symptoms: Ridiculous amounts of indigestion and frequent trips to the ladies room! And I guess if I'm being honest, my hips are already give out. Thank you twins for that one!
Inny or outty button: Mostly in.
Happy or moody: Does anyone really answer this one honestly? Ok...I will. Unfortunately I have noticed myself being extremely irritable. But, in consulting with my 'What to expect when you're expecting' doctor, I've found this to be completely normal! So I guess I have an excuse! Wink!
Looking forward to: Now that the holidays are kaput, I can focus on this little girl's nursery and losing myself in butt loads of ribbon and such for her cute bows! I'm really looking forward to that!


So...yeah for 21 weeks!
