ok really, I'm 21 weeks as of today. But I thought doing a 20 week update sounded better & this picture was taken in the 20th week...
Halfway through my pregnancy?!?! Seriously. That sounds crazy.
So excited to know it's a BOY. Now I just need to get into the habit of calling him a "him" and not an "it."
I've been feeling little flutters, movements, etc for a couple weeks now... But it is so little I hardly know if I'm feeling him kick or just having a muscle spasm or indigestion...
I've gained about 6lbs so far. Feeling pretty good about that.
At our last doctor's appointment both baby and I checked out healthy and normal on everything. Praise God.
Physically I'm feeling... A LOT:
- a little bit of movement
- achiness in my lower abs and sides {as I grow}
- heartburn {for the first time ever}
- occasional dizziness
- tailbone ache when I don't sit on something padded
- nasal congestion
- sensitive gums that bleed when I brush
- leg cramps {multiple times every night}
- mild swelling of feet every once and a while
{it seems like a lot, but really it's not and I'm just glad I've stopped throwing up!}
Emotionally I'm feeling...
- moody as always
- SO forgetful!!! and just dumb...
- pretty scared about being really for this baby... Our good friend Kellie had her baby today! Yahoo! And I'm just feeling so not ready to be there! But I know I will be when the time comes...
Spiritually I'm feeling...
- so thankful
- a little overwhelmed with the heaviness of the reality that it is up to Manny and I to raise this boy to be a man of God...
So that's where I'm at...
Getting excited about planning his room & registering :)
More on that later!
Baby Boy: Your dad {happy almost first father's day Manny} and I love you so much. I love that we can call you our son. I'm excited to see what you look ~ blonde hair? Yes. ~ I'm excited to decorate your room & make it so unbelievably cute. I'm excited to keep looking more and more pregnant :) But really, I'm so excited to meet you. And a little glad that I have four more months to get ready. All my love.
