Week 20-22!

Baby size:  A grapefruit!

It's crazy that just weeks ago he was a little poppy seed... <3



How I feel about being pregnant: I loooooove my bump and getting to feel my little acrobat move and flip and go crazy all the time! It's SO precious!

What I miss about pre-pregnancy life: Smaller boobs? Seriously, if I could go back and talk to Middle School me, I'd be like "Brah, you have NO idea how much worse it could be!" Now that I do... GAH!

Symptoms: Now all I can think about is the boobs. They just WON'T STOP. It's annoying. They better feed baby SO well; that's all I've got to say. I can't really think of any other symptoms. My acne is gross and I pee every three seconds, but that just seems cliche. Haha. I actually felt my darling son kick me in my very full bladder the other morning. SO RUDE! Lol. He's lucky he's so freaking adorable. :) 

Food Cravings: Food. Lots of it. All the time. This week it was Fudruckers and Chipotle. Last week Taco Bell and Pizza Hut. 

What I'm most excited about: Baby's kicking! It's seriously the cutest thing in the entire world! He moves around like crazy. I tell him all the time to enjoy the space while he has it. It's about to be suuuuper cramped quarters. Poor little guy. I can see him kicking sometimes and it's precious. I just sit staring at my stomach half the time. :) 

Something I've done to prepare for baby: We did our Babies R Us registry. It was uber fun to look at all the cute things. We tested out the carseat, and I will basically be sitting in the dash once baby is here, but oh well. :)

Funny moment: We went to Cheddar's the other night with some friends. I had to go to the bathroom (of COURSE). When I got in there a girl was standing there who I thought was an employee but her shirt was pulled up so I was pretty confused. I just went about my business. When I got done washing my hands a different employee helped me with the demon paper towel dispenser, and when I turned around she said "You're pregnant right?" I was like, "Yes!", expecting the next question to be "when's your due date?" or something along those lines. Instead she said "Can you tell my friend it's going to be okay? She just found out she's pregnant and she's freaking out." I turn around and look and it's the same girl I saw earlier. I'm pretty sure she tested in the bathroom and was looking at her stomach when I came in. I was like "Oh pregnancy is amazing! It'll be great!" She just said "no" with this uber deer-in-the-headlights look. I told her I understood it's hard when it's a surprise and wished her luck, then awkwardly ducked out of the bathroom. I'm so not good with out-of-nowhere advice requests from strangers. Also, definitely the most awkward thing that has happened to me this pregnancy. 

I tend to spend a lot of time staring at my bare belly b/c I love watching baby kick. The other day, Annie wanted me to draw on her notebook and apparently I didn't react fast enough, so she got jealous and came over and rather aggressively pulled my shirt down. haha. She's still super skeptical about this whole baby in my belly thing. She completely thinks I just don't know how to say belly button correctly. o_O It's adorable!
Special moment: Shane finally got to feel baby move!!! :) It's hard with his giant boy hands to feel, but since baby is becoming a ninja, he finally did. It's so unbelievably precious to watch him with my belly. He talks to Kaden all the time. It makes my heart so happy! He's going to be such a wonderful daddy. <3 

How baby's growing (from BabyCenter):
Turn on the radio and sway to the music. With her sense of movement well developed by now, your baby can feel you dance. And now that she's more than 11 inches long and weighs just over a pound (about the size of a large mango), you may be able to see her squirm underneath your clothes. Blood vessels in her lungs are developing to prepare for breathing, and the sounds that your baby's increasingly keen ears pick up are preparing her for entry into the outside world. Loud noises that become familiar now — such as your dog barking or the roar of the vacuum cleaner — probably won't faze her when she hears them outside the womb. [So hopefully that means baby won't think Roscoe is a terrifying monster... lol]

21 weeks!

22 Weeks and headed out for Aunt MarMar's birthday! Wobble Baby is a LOT more complicated when you're so round. lol
