21 Weeks

Pumpkin this week...

~ Baby's digestive system is prepping for life outside my tummy, he is creating meconium.

Size of the Baby?

10.5 inches long and 12.7 ounces

Total Weight Gain/Loss?

Up 2 more pounds.  Must have been that Carolina BBQ :)

Maternity Clothes?

Sported my maternity swimsuit this last weekend... I definitely still have room to grow in it so I think by this summer it will be cuter on me than it was now.

Stretch Marks?

Nope!

Best Moments?

On Monday night when I came home from North Carolina, it was so nice to relax with Ryan.  Right before we went to sleep, I was laying in bed and all of a sudden I got a kick like nothing else I've ever felt.  I practically screamed- Whoa!  Ryan was able to feel a bunch of kicks too and then we just watched my tummy bounce all over!  So awesome and such a cool feeling.  It almost made me a little nauseous but I'm pretty sure I'm going to love this!

Also- Ryan surprised me with my 'push gift' right before I left for North Carolina.  He gave me the other band to match my wedding band.  So now my engagement ring has my wedding band and the push band on each side of it.  I LOVE it!!  I'm thinking I would like to get each ring engraved so I can remember which one is my wedding band and which one is for Baby Hannay!

Movement?

Yes and I love it!  What a crazy feeling!

Nausea/Vomitting?

Knock on wood- I actually can't remember the last day I puked.  :)

Labor Signs?

Nope and I'd be happy if we made it to October 1st before that happens.

Gender?

Baby BOY!!

Belly Button In or Out?
Still an innie!

Wedding Rings On or Off?

On and not tighter at all!

Sleep?

I've been making less potty breaks and sometimes I make it all night without a pit stop!  I love getting more sleep!!

Wisdom?

Don't overdo yourself or over commit!  I'm starting to feel overwhelmed with everything on my plate this summer.  We have a few weddings, birthday weekends, cabin trips, and I'm helping with USA Diving Nationals all on top of normal work and coaching.  I'm glad to be only coaching two nights a week but I'm really anxious about everything else on my plate.  I have to remember that Baby Hannay is my focus and the most important thing and if I have to say no to something- it's okay.  It's important to do what's best for baby.

What am I most excited about?
A weekend with Ryan- our mini baby-moon... more details to come next week on the blog!

Loving each kick,
