This is week 20/21 blog.  Everything has been so crazy I haven’t had time to sit down and write anything.  I have started working at the gas station a little for mom and last Thursday we had a doctor’s appointment.  This past weekend I worked, helped a friend move and had family dinner Sunday night.  I haven’t stopped moving since I got out of school.  Today is the first day it actually feels like summer.  It’s about time.  School is going to be starting again before the weather allows us to do anything outside.  It just keeps raining!

Here's the picture....Week 21

Ok so our about our doctor appointment……This was 21 weeks so we got to have another sonogram.  Jason was hoping for boy parts this time but against his hoping and praying, she is still a little baby girl.  Thank goodness! She is perfect.  Everything is developed great.  She is very proud of her feet.  That’s about the only thing she would let us look at very long and man does she kick those things around.  She moves like a crazy woman in there!  She wouldn’t let us see her profile and something else I can’t remember so we get to have another sonogram next appointment as well.  They said my placenta is low so I would have to have another sonogram to check on that anyway and if it doesn’t stretch out or move I will have to have a C-Section.  Jason doesn’t think he can handle the blood and surgery from that so we are hoping things work out and I can deliver normally.  Unfortunately my insurance is not covering all of these sonograms until I meet my deductible so thanks little Kolbi for not letting us see your pretty face and charging me another $150.00 so we can make sure you have a nose J

Ok, I can't get the stupid things to rotate so they are all sideways....the one on the left is her foot, knee, leg, toes pointed down.  the one on the right is her arm, elbow, hand and it appears she's sucking her thumb. Hopefully she will let me have a picture of her face after the next appointment.  She either looked directly at us or faced toward my back so we couldn't see her.  Being shy I guess. 

Everything else is going wonderfully.  We are getting really excited for her to be here.  I am getting bigger and bigger, not all that fun but I’m enjoying feeling her moving around in there.  I’m a little over half way there.  October will be here before we know it.  Everybody keeps asking me if I’m excited and I am but I feel like we have so much to do before she gets here that I haven’t really let myself get excited for her to get here yet.  I have to get ready for her first!  The last couple months I know I’ll be so excited I won’t be able to stand it.

How many weeks?  21

Gender:  Girl

Size of baby:  10.5 in or the size of a banana

Weight of baby:  12.7 oz

Belly Button in or out?  In

Wedding rings on or off?  On

Mood:  Happy.  Trying to enjoy every moment!

Sleep: great

Stretch marks?  Nope, not yet

Maternity clothes?  Not a lot yet.  Bailey gave me some shorts of hers from when she was pregnant so those have been getting me through work.  

Favorite thing this week: Officially summer vacation.  Getting things ready for our garage sale this weekend, June 14.  I have a few days off from the gas station so I’ll be able to get some things done at home and rest for the first time since school got out. 

Movement?  She’s moving!  I can feel her frequently.  I can’t wait until Jason can feel her on the outside.

Food Cravings?  Mexican food, spicy food, though I’m starting to get some heartburn.  Still eat a lot of cereal!  We should have stock in lucky charms.    

Symptoms:  nothing really.  My body hurts worse after working and standing on my feet all day than it ever has but that’s normal I’m sure. 

Labor signs?  No

Anything make you sick?  No

Miss anything? Not really….I mean I don’t really go do much because I’m tired by about 9:00 so I guess I miss my social life a little this week, especially with it being summer but I’m pretty happy with giving things up for baby. 

Looking forward to anything?  Father’s day this weekend.  My next doctor’s visit is July 3^rd, Jason can’t go so mom is going with me.  Then we will leave and go to Omaha for the weekend after the 4^th, hopefully it’s warm enough to swim up there on this visit.  We are looking for a place to move into that’s bigger than this tiny apartment.  I’m excited we haven’t killed each other or a dog yet but once we find a place to move to I will be so excited I won’t be able to control myself.  We need more room!  A baby room and a yard for the dogs!  It’s driving me nuts!

Jason started running his own route at work and he loves it so that puts everyone in a better mood J
