21 Weeks

Over half way there!  So exciting.  Though as much as I look forward to May and the arrival of our baby girl, I can't help but be sad that our first baby, Logan will be turning 4 that month.  4!  How did that happen?  I guess its just hormones but I was crying like a baby a few days ago thinking about it.  I still remember the doctor telling me to open my eyes to see my baby being born.  One thing is for certain I held that baby as much as I possibly could.  Still when he wakes up in the middle night and asks to get into bed he will cuddle up to me and its treasure time that I will never forget.  Some nights I wake up and everyone is in our bed and I am like "what is going on here!?"  I lose sleep, get kicked, wake up not rested, but know that these babies will grow up and our bed will be less crowded.  I can honestly say that I am already not looking forward to those days.  Well now I am crying mess again so on to the current pregnancy :)

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 21 Weeks

Size of baby: Addison is the size of a banana! From Bump.com: Baby's digestive system is busy creating meconium (a tarry black substance made of swallowed amniotic fluid, digestive secretion, and dead cells), which will fill the first diaper after birth. And, if baby is a girl, her womb is now stocked up with her lifetime supply of six million eggs (the number will drop to around one million by birth).

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Total weight gain 14 lbs. Starting weight 105 and as of yesterday I was 119 lbs.

Maternity Clothes: Everything regular; I can’t button most of my regular jeans so I wear a bella band to keep them up! I bought the best pair of maternity jeans EVER from GAP Maternity - the wide leg trouser.  I LOVE them!
Gender: It's a girl!!! Addison Kathleen Harris

Movement: Though Brian hasn't felt her yet (every time he puts his hand on belly she stops moving), you can actually see my belly move when she is kicking!

Sleep: What is sleep?  I have terrible insomnia and its not fun
What I miss: Sleeping on my stomach and not going to lie a glass of wine would be very nice.

Cravings: Food - seriously I want to everything good thing I started back doing yoga!
Symptoms: Mostly tiredness and terrible headaches (daily headaches).

Best Moment this week: Logan singing Scooby Doo theme song to Addison, Austin kissing my belly throughout the day, Logan asking me how she got in my "tomach" and very confused as how she will get out and most of all My friends, Stephanie, Jennifer, & Elizabeth offering to throw me a VERY GIRLY PINK BABY SHOWER in March!!!  Love those girls for loving me and my family so much.
