week 21

In all the excited and anticipation of last week's ultrasound, I forgot to do a week 20 post. Here's week 21:

Week: 21

Weight gain: 11 lbs total so far- right where I should be

Clothing: got a cute new dress from Tommie that I look forward to wearing when it gets a little warmer

Best moment so far: finding out it's a BOY!! 

Movement: for the first time last week, when I pushed down on my stomach I felt a kick back! So cool and so weird at the same time. 

Food cravings: nothing too crazy this week

Symptoms: worst right now is indigestion that hits every day around 3:30pm

Feeling: like it's much more real now that we know it's a boy

Sleep: finally figured out a configuration of pillows that helps me sleep :)

Rings: still just the engagement ring

Things I miss: deli meat, soft cheese and smoked salmon. And not having so many physical limitations. I didn't really know how hard pregnancy would be. It's amazing and I'm so grateful for it and can't wait to hold sweet Parker in my arms, but pregnancy is not my most favorite thing. I miss not running out of breath when I walk down the hall, being able to cross my legs easily or bend over, I miss not having people worry over me, the list goes on and on. I am so thankful to God each and every day for this miracle He has blessed us with, but it's HARD!! I know it'll all be worth it and will soon seem like a distant memory, but I just want to record how I really feel and not cover it up. 

Fun news? Random people now notice that I'm pregnant:

As the book says "at this point, there's no denying the fact that you're pregnant!"
