Our growing family: 21 weeks

I cannot believe I am over twenty one weeks now. Its so crazy how fast it flys by. It literally still feels like yesterday when I felt a little weird at work, and someone said "Maybe your pregnant?" And I said, "No, I really dont think so..." Then, the next day something again just didnt feel right... Ill never forget taking that test and seeing that positive line. That day has forever changed my life, and I honestly cannot wait until this baby is here.

I sit and think every day about how badly I want time to keep flying by. To go so fast that she is here and I can love on her. But, then again I think about it and as it does go fast, this is our last few weeks being parents to one kid. This is our last 10 weeks having alone time without a kid full time. Its going to be so different and weird to always have a kid in our home. That is not something Jesse or I are used too. :)

This week was a good one. Jesse and I worked like always. Caitlyn had t ball, and played with Johnathon, and her cousins. She is really starting to get ready for Kindergarten. Even if it makes all of us parents sad that she is growing up ! She wants to start gymnastics so we have been looking into that for her. I think she will do well with it. More and more every day she is our little Princess!

I had my anatomy scan on Wednesday and a doctors appointment afterwards. Baby girl is still a girl :) She is still measuring right on her due date. My belly measured right at 21 weeks and I have currently only gained 2 lbs from my pre pregnancy weight :)!!!!

Baby shower plans are under way - I am really excited for it!!

Other than that .... Ill leave you with the 21 week update and pictures :)

21 weeks:
Your beautiful little miracle-gro baby will be putting on a full ounce and a half this week.
And that's just the beginning! Within the next five weeks, they'll really be packin' it on as they start to gain fat!
For now, we’re pleased to report the addition of rapid eye movement (REM); a key component to any healthy baby's sleep schedule, that indicates they're now capable of dreaming.
Over in the dermatology department: your sweet lil bun's thin soft skin is very red, rather translucent, and a bit wrinkled.
Not to worry, it’s not some creepy premature aging disease. It's just their clever little body setting them up with extra space that will smooth out once your little one starts packing on the baby-fat. That won’t be for a few more weeks, though.
So, for the time being, your munchkin is still a little lean mean growing machine!
Lastly, the beginnings of what is commonly called “brown fat” is just starting to fill in to help your baby retain some body heat, which is crucial as they’re not yet capable of regulating their own body temperature.
