Survey Week 21!!

How far along?: 21 weeks!!!
Total weight gain: Right at ten pounds. Which means I am on target!! yay
Maternity clothes?: yup, but not because I have some large preggo belly, because my hips have decided to expand!!!
Stretch marks?: Only on my Girls. But that's what happens when they grow almost 3 sizes in just a few months. And man do they itch!!
Sleep?: It's on and off. If I wake up to potty, or because I am just uncomfortable, it's hard to get back to sleep. Luckily I am home and can nap when need be.
Best moment this week?: Lena has really started to move, I mean A LOT!! It's soo neat knowing its her and not thinking that it might be gas! haha
Movement?: Oh yes! She is working on her tap dancing for sure!
Food cravings?: Hmm, nothing too serious this week so far. I have attempted to give up the caffeine again. In hopes it helps my iron intake and decreases my dizzy spells. So a coca cola would pretty much be AMAZING!!
Labor signs?: nopers.

Belly button in or out?: In.
What I miss: Although I loved being an outgoing crazy girl, I can't say I truly "miss" it. But it's nice to reminisce!
What I'm looking forward to: Meeting Little Lena.

Milestone: We got the nursery cleaned out and ready for paint!! YAYAY

Words of wisdom : No matter how much you plan and prepare, life will still get you with it's curve balls!!

Rafferty's Salad...it's all I want!!

So, the last week has held it's fair share of AMAZEMENT!! Joshua got to feel Lena kick for the first time. I woke up that morning, to a series of gymnastics going on in my stomach, and the second I was able to get his attention to try and feel her, of course she stopped!! So after playing this game all day, we were finally able to catch her before we went to bed that night!! Clearly she likes to play games already!

We spent our Halloween weekend in Columbus, OH with my parents. We went to the Columbus Zoo Friday night, and enjoyed the Broadway Musical Young Frankenstein Saturday night. To kill time in between, my mother and I made our way to the mall. I can't even begin to describe the adorable WARDROBE we got for Lena!! I am probably going to have to change her outfits a good 3 times a day!!!

With the Holiday's coming up, I find my mood to be much better. There's something about this time of year that makes me want to decorate, light candles, and cook every night!! I love it! And lucky for me, I have a husband who is just as into the Season as I am. We've been playing Christmas music since Halloween, it's kind of our thing!! Hopefully I will have my house completely put together in the next couple of weeks, and can post some pictures of our home during the season!!

Well, I will quit with the ramble I have going on!! I hope you all have a happy day!!
