21 weeks!




How far along: 21 weeks!
Baby is the size of a: Pomegranate or Length of a Carrot
Maternity clothes: We are all maternity on the bottom half :)
Food cravings: Not really.
Anything make you queasy or sick: Nope. 
Miss anything: Sleeping however I please.  
Have you started to show yet: Oh yes. 
Boy or Girl: Boy!
Movement: Everyday. Although, he has seemed to not be quite as active over the past week., or I have been active and haven't taken the time to notice.
Birthing Classes: We had our last crash course on Sunday.
Best moment this week: Celebrating Thanksgiving and buying a new couch for our living room.
Worst moment this week: Let's just say that as soon as I got in the car after our birthing class, I cried. I felt (and still feel) overwhelmed by the idea of giving birth and feel very lost.
Best kid comment about the baby this week: My class had a pretty rough day behaviorally on Tuesday and at one point of the day when another teacher was in the room teaching for a bit, they were all over the place and not paying attention. After she was gone and I was talking to my class about their behavior, they asked, "How did you know that? Did the baby tell you?" Apparently they think that standing behind them by the door, I cannot see them AND I don't have eyes.
Other tidbits: We have been receiving some sweet gifts from our family. One aunt made us a handmade crocheted blanket which I L.O.V.E. Another auntie gave us a picture frame that says "Love at first Sight" with a picture of the ultrasound (which is now proudly displayed on my nightstand) and a Christmas ornament for the baby boy. Another auntie gave us an adorable dress shirt onsie. AND another auntie gave him some flannel :) I told you, he is one very loved child :)
How have I been feeling: I was having back pain earlier in the week but since we finally found a sleeping position that works and is comfortable, the pain has left. I guess the back pain was from sleeping wrong. I also had a pretty bad leg cramp in the middle of the night last night and since our Bradley class is about relaxing through the pain, Justin woke up and the first thing he said was, "Are you relaxed?!?" I am very thankful to be feeling as great as I do!
Looking forward to: Baby boy is excited to celebrate grandpa's birthday on Saturday as well as having a Christmas filled weekend: we might get our tree this weekend and I am going to the Biltmore Candlelight Tour with my mom and sister on Sunday! We might also be checking out the National Gingerbread House display this week! Pictures to come!

Happy Thanksgiving
