21 weeks

 This just keeps getting better and better! 
We got to see pictures of you once again last week at our 20 week appointment. You are so precious. You were head down in a vertical position as if you were ready to come out already. I can tell you're real low in my stomach. The ultrasound tech gave you rave reviews during our appointment and says you are about 15 ounces already (our big boy). She said you were measuring about a week early but kept my due date the same because the measurements were still right on track. We brought home a few more photos to add to our ever expanding collection of you already. Here are a couple of my favorites. 

Your profile at 20 weeks 

Your little foot

We are having so much fun preparing for you arrival. Your Daddy worked so hard last week on your room and was able to get it cleared out and painted. It looks wonderful. We went shopping for your furniture Friday night not expecting to find anything right away but were blessed with such an amazing deal. We brought home your first furniture set that night. I believe your set is nicer than our own bedroom furniture. I was so excited to get it moved in that I woke up at 7am on Saturday to get started. We were able to get everything set up on Saturday and couldn't be happier with how everything looks. I keep going in your room for no reason other than to look around and take it all in. I still can't believe this is all finally happening.


My stomach is getting bigger by the day. Every time I text my mom a new photo of my belly she is in shock with how much i've grown in a matter of a few days. I can tell i'm growing also with all of the stretching and pulling. Your movements are so much more noticeable these days. Your Daddy and I were laying in bed the other night and could actually feel where you were laying in Mommy's stomach. As soon as your Daddy put his hand on my belly you moved back down.


This week we are busy planning our Babymoon! We can not wait to take a week of pure relaxation before your arrival. I don't want to have any plans or agendas...all I want is a lounge chair and the sun (and food of course)!
