Oh Baby - Week 21

Total Weight Gain: I don't know up a couple, I need a better system for this but I'm not sure I really care that much...I guess the monthly "official" weigh ins are good enough. I look at the gym but it seems to vary so much day to day! Two days ago I was up like four pounds then the next day back down three so who knows!

Maternity clothes:
Wearing them almost exclusively. Seriously, not buttoning pants is wonderful :)

Stretch Marks:
Nope.

Best moments:
Feeling baby move a little more. He definitely wakes up more after I eat and when I'm getting ready for bed.

Movement:
More and more! I read that this week he can see bright lights now and may move away from them! Funny! I'm sure he is covering his ears a bunch too because Cooper has taken to barking ALL. THE. TIME!

Food Cravings:
I wanted peanut butter this morning and an orange yesterday! Both are still sounding pretty good!

Food Aversions:
None.

What I miss:
Being able to walk up the stairs without getting winded. It's getting rough on this girl!

Nausea/Vomiting:
Nope!

Symptoms:
Heartburn is still showing up every once and awhile but nothing too bad!

Labor signs:
No, fingers crossed!

Gender:
Baby Boy Johnson!

Belly Button:
Innie but getting smaller and smaller, one day this week I woke up and seriously it was practically gone!

Wedding Rings:
Fitting fine. I take them off every night so I think that helps.

Sleep:
What's sleep? Cooper wakes up at 5 and I am up for the day. Ugh, I'm not ready for this life!

Wisdom: Keep going to the gym, I know it's hard and I know you don't want to but seriously you're going to feel awesome afterward and who doesn't like watching the Chew over lunch?! (Note, this is a pep talk for myself, I'm sure you are going to the gym without any prodding but I have always hated it)

Sunshines and Creeps

Sunshine to our Anniversary last Monday. I cannot believe a whole year has already flown by since we said "I do". It has been the most amazing year of my life and I can't wait for the ones ahead.

SUNSHINE to VACATION, we had so much fun, more on that to come!! Creep to vacation going by SOOO fast, we blinked and it was over.

Sunshine to having a few wonderful friends with babies that I can get lots of great advice from.

Sunshine to feeling baby Johnson move this week!

Sunshine to the short week thanks to vacation! It really felt like a short week this week since I wasn't super busy at work when I got back.

Sunshine to our new gym opening this week. Creep to the new gym being TOTALLY packed. I hope for my sanity it slows down there sometime.

Creep to showing up for water aerobics last night and (after asking three people where it was) finding out it was canceled but no one was bothering to tell anyone! Ugh. So I went home to get workout clothes and get dinner ready for Ross and went back for Yoga an hour later. Only to go to class to no instructor. We waited until someone working out came flying in asking where the instructor was. Turns out she also is a yoga instructor and taught the class for us since he never showed up. That would have been a major disappointment since I didn't bring tennis shoes and would have had to go home AGAIN (double creep)!

Sunshine to the sunshine, I am loving this fall weather!!! I am hoping that we have a nice mild winter like last year, it will make having a baby in wintertime much easier!
