My Belly {21 weeks}

It's been a pretty fabulous week in the world of pregnancy. I am feeling really good, baby is looking perfect and I'm feeling really happy and excited.

 There's a lot of Arizona love in our house right now because one of our favorite Arizona Wildcats, Chase Budinger was just traded to the MN T-wolves! Jason and I are really, really, really excited!
Even Bailey is pumped...

I know, we're cruel.

Nugget this week...

...is manufacturing meconium, the tarry black substance that will be found in the first diaper (oh joy!)

...if it's a girl she already has a lifetime supply of eggs in her womb

Size of the baby?  

About 10 1/2 inches (4 inches bigger than last week!) and according to the doctor weighing in at 12 ounces (as my MIL says "the size of a beer!")

Total Weight Gain/Loss?  

I'm up 13.6 pounds.

Maternity Clothes?  

Still rocking the pre-preggo clothes with a few maternity items mixed in. 

Stretch marks?  

Nope!  

Best Moments?  

Our doctor's appointment on Monday. I will never get tired of hearing that me and baby are progressing perfectly. And I won't lie, I cried like a baby (happy tears) when we found out the gender, it's a moment I will never forget. 

Movement? 

This child is a spaz. Nugget is squirming more and more and the movements are becoming more and more noticeable. I'm really hoping Jason will be able to feel it soon. 

Food Cravings?  

Really no cravings, but I do wish I could have a giant Turkey Tom from Jimmy John's. 

Anything making you queasy or sick? 

Meat and veggies.....still. 

What I miss?  
 I really don't miss anything this week, just happy to be healthy and have a healthy baby. 

What I'm looking forward to?  

Revealing the gender next weekend!!!

Nausea/Vomiting?  

Nope. 

Symptoms? 
I'm feeling pretty good. Still some back pain here and there but nothing I can't handle. 

Labor signs?  

I am completely avoiding the topic of labor until I am forced to face it at our prenatal classes. 

Gender? 

?!?!?!?!?!

Belly Button In or Out?  
Innie. 

Wedding rings On or Off?  

Suckers are still on! 

Sleep?  

Sleeping great! 

Wisdom?
Try prenatal yoga!

this pic was too creepy not to use. 

I am a big fan of yoga but have been nervous to practice since becoming pregnant for fear that I would push myself too hard and hurt myself or the baby. There is this GREAT prenatal yoga studio here in MPLS (blooma for all you locals) that specializes in prenatal yoga. So on Tuesday I gave it a whirl and I am so glad I did! It was still a great workout but more importantly it was so calming and relaxing. I really think everyone should try prenatal yoga a few times throughout their pregnancy. It really is a fabulous way to connect to your body and your baby.
