{ Turtle In a Half Shell --- Turtle Power! }

My first baby deserve a little attention too right?

Good bye crunches and bending over to tie my shoes comfortably!  There are just some things you don’t realize about the ladies that are pregnant until you are one!  I feel like a turtle on its shell when I try to get out of bed.  Start rocking from side to side until I can swing a leg over the edge of the bed and plant it on the floor to get up. Ha! It’s funny to explain it but when you’ve really got an emergency bathroom run on your mind, it’s gets frustrating to not just sit straight up and get out of bed.

Yes I know, I have a LONG way to go, and people will say “you’ve not experienced ANYTHING yet…” but to be honest… my pregnancy, my experiences and just let me experience them on my own. K, that’ll be my only “don’t give me that crap” statement.


No real new cravings this week.  Just really liking my cereal still!  Could probably eat it for every meal if it wasn't for the fact that i know this kid needs more than milk and lucky charms :)



Our little guy is really a mover still!  It seems like he’s the most active when I get to work in the morning and right when I lay down for the night.  A couple good jabs have come here and there and actually get me to nod my head and say “nice one…” ha!

Officially at 21 weeks, he’s measuring about 10 ½ inches long and weighs about ¾ of a pound.  Can we say “heavyweight!?” The ultra sound techs and doctor Taylor have let me know I’ll be one that feels lots of movement due to how the baby is growing and the positioning of all the lady parts :).  They were right!  Mini-man isn’t afraid to let me know he’s in there!

We’ve ordered the crib and mattress for the nursery and are expecting it to arrive soon. I think that’ll really put things in the “it’s real” bucket once that comes!  Super excited though as I like to stop in and just stare at his room quite a bit.  Very excited for him to get here!  Mister has been working on the closet to prepare for the abundance of clothes he’s going to have.  Seriously, this kid has 2 Under Armour outfits already and he’s still got 5 months before he shows up! Ha! :) He’ll hate me some day, but you better believe he’ll be dressed like mommy when we go out for runs this summer!

Of course I just wouldn't feel right if this blog was all about me. So here's a good photo of my mister --- yes... it's licorice.  


The giraffe games continue.  Here’s a pic of the most recent placement.  One point Mommy!  Got Daddy even though he wasn’t exactly excited to admit it!  Wearing Mister's sweatshirt, I placed our little friend in Mister's shower in the basement so he was sure to see it on his way to brush his teeth! Sneaky sneaky! :) hehe
