Best moment this week: Waking up to Stephen's hand on my belly and our little girl kicking it. He was sleeping so hard he didn't even know she was kicking. It made me smile.:)

Weekly Wisdom: Drink a lot of water to prevent becoming dizzy/dehydrated and do yoga to help relieve back pain.

Looking forward to: Getting our little girls room in order!

A VT fan from the beginning!

Before we found out she was a girl we had VT gear! She will be so ready for football season thanks in part to her awesome family!! Now we just need some maroon and orange bows.

I think Zoe was afraid I was going to put her in these outfits! Haha!!

Now we need to find some Falcons and Bears gear for her!!Do they make half Falcons half Bears Onesies???? Hmmm, might have to start sewing :)

Shopping

Just wanted to share a few of the cute things we bought!

You always need a "little black dress" in your closet! ;)

Oldies but Goodies!

Can't wait to dress her up! The only thing missing is a pink tutu!

First pair of shoes!! I hope they fit!

Week 21

Week 21

How far along: 21 weeks and 3 days

Estimated size of baby: Spaghetti Squash  (8 in, 1 lb.)

Total weight gain/loss: +8 WoW Wasn't expecting that much of a jump this week!! More fruit and veggies are in my future!! I have been eating a lot of sugary foods this past week!

Maternity clothes? Really don't want to buy anymore right now, but it's getting very difficult to get dressed in the mornings and still feel comfortable!

Stretch marks? No, not yet!! I slather so much belly butter and udderly smooth cream on that even late in the evening it still feels like I have a protective layer on!:)

Sleep:  Not bad this week! Just getting up around 3:30-4:00 to pee!

Miss Anything? No, coping fairly well again this week!

Movement:  A lot of movement! Mostly kicks to my bladder :( She has been moving so much I have started calling her Bunny. Sometimes it feels like she is hopping all over the place. I also feel like she has moved up in my belly because the kicks/hits are higher.

Food cravings: Sugar apparently! I have noticed myself wanting more sugar than usual. I have never been a sweets eater so this is a little strange. I really wanted peeps the other day. So far I have resisted! :)

Anything making you queasy or sick: Not much, Thank God!! Still am iffy on smells. Everything has such a strong smell.

Have you started to show? Yes, but I feel like the bottom of my belly looks smaller. Could be her moving up in there. It is amazing to see the progression week to week.

Gender prediction: No longer a prediction! We know it is a GIRL!!

Labor Signs: No

Belly Button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On

Mood: Laid back/happy/excited

Weekly Wisdom: Eat healthier and drink more water. Once you start back to caffeine, you will spiral out of control!!!

Looking forward to: Deciding on a name and what to do with our Little Baby Reynolds' room!!!

No longer an "it"

Boy or Girl???

Getting ready to find out if our little "it" is a boy or girl!!

About a month ago I looked at Stephen and told him I really felt like our Little Baby Reynolds was going to be a girl. He had the same feeling.

The doctor confirmed our suspicions. Little Baby Reynolds is definitely a GIRL!!!!! The doctor gave us new pictures of her too! She is already beautiful!! I think she even has my thighs poor girl! Her legs already look chubby!!:) Which should make her Aunt Katie happy!

Fists up in fighting position. A little Layla Ali :)

We all know I love shoes and now I have another set of feet to buy them for!!!!Can't wait!!!

Our little baby Skeletor!

They have NO doubt Little Baby Reynolds is definitely a SHE!

Another cute picture of her foot! Shoes Shoes Shoes!!
I believe this is the foot I can blame for the kicks to the bladder!

Sleep:  Still having sciatic nerve pain on right side at night, which leaves only the left side to sleep on most of the time. I did find that if I stuff a pillow on both sides of me I can sleep at different angles on my sides. Something I have NEVER even given a thought to before.

Have you told family and friends: Yep! Getting ready to tell everyone this weekend if it's a boy or girl. We should hopefully know Thursday afternoon!!!

Miss Anything? Drinking a beer or two while watching the Superbowl. Thank goodness my Bears weren't in it...That would have really sucked!

Anything making you queasy or sick: Not much, Thank God!! Still am iffy on smells. Everything has such a strong smell.

Mood: Happy most of the time. I think I am hitting the nesting phase though...I am sooo ready to get rid of everything at this house that we haven't used in the last 6 months. Time to clean out for baby stuff!

Weekly Wisdom: You can fit a lot more into a week that you think!!
