What should her first song be? So far, we've received suggestions for "Isn't she lovely," "Baby Got Back," and "Lady Humps."
How far along: 21 weeks down
Countdown: 19 weeks to go!
Baby's Approximate Size: she's as long as a banana (7 in, 11 oz)
Total Weight Gain: 5 pounds (only one pound since 2/7...yipee!)
Sleep: I'm definitely not the narcoleptic I was during the first trimester, but once I sit down, it's really hard for me to get back up. I've had lots more energy lately, so it's nice to know that life basics (like showering and blowdrying my hair) don't seem like such marathon events anymore. I have no problem falling asleep, and I'm usually up, wide awake, by 7 every morning.
Best moment this week: The best moment this week was OBVIOUSLY getting married. Since the day we started dating, Cory and I have talked about getting married and having kids. We didn't think it would happen so fast, but everything seems to be happening the way it was supposed to, which is so awesome.
Meltdown this week: Cory didn't like something that I registered for, and he made that loud and clear. Melt. Doooooown. When I flip the switch, I can't stop myself, and then I start thinking about all of the things that are bothering me, and it gets out of hand. I'm better now...
Movement: She moves mostly after I eat, or when I'm sitting down at work doing something that involves a lot of thought. I think she likes the left side more, but I'm not sure why.
Cravings: This week, I can't get enough macaroni salad from Ralphs. It has nasty olives in it, so I just pick them out. I also still can't seem to drink enough milk.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Baby girl does NOT like apples. I get it. I tried to have some applesauce yesterday, but I couldn't get that past her. I'll try again today.
Labor Signs: Nada.
Symptoms: I've been congestion free for about a week, but I slowly feel it coming back today. I've started getting headaches, too. A children't Tylenol works pretty well for that.
Belly Button in or out: It's still in, but it seems to be getting bigger.
Wedding Rings on or off: On, duh. I love them together! And I can't wait until I get another diamond band as a "push" present!
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy, especially after I eat.
Looking forward to: I'm so excited to FINALLY start thinking about baby things. We tried to delay it until after the wedding, but my mom and I got a little ahead of ourselves when we found out we were having a girl. So far, she has a sleep sheep, a "shhh, baby is sleeping" sign, a tutu (the cutest one EVER), a sun hat, a pair of shoes, her first outfit that we bought her, and my old tooth fairy pillow. I can't WAIT to pick out all of her bedding!
What I miss the most: I really miss sleeping on my stomach. I have the pregnancy pillow that Cory's parents got me for my birthday, and I might sleep with that for the rest of my life! (Sorry, Cory)
