21 weeks

How big is baby this week:

http://pregnant.thebump.com/pregnancy-week-by-week/21-weeks-pregnant.aspx

Due Date: November 13, 2012

Weight Gain: +3 lb from starting weight.

Symptoms: Felt really good all week. Feeling extra spurts of energy here and there.

Cravings: Fruit and chocolate

Aversions: No aversions. I finally have been eating a little bit of red meat.

Sleep: Sleeping fine. We did have to go out and buy a fan that I can use in the bedroom. I get so warm in the middle of the night. I feel a little bad because Bryan says it's really cold.

I am loving: I'm super excited about the gift I got Bryan for our anniversary this week. Part of it may be baby related. :) Hopefully, he will like it as much as I did.

I am spazzing about: I'm starting to get anxious about setting up Baby E's room. I know there is plenty of time ahead we just have a busy summer and I'm not sure how much I will want to do late in the pregnancy. With this extreme heat we are having in MO I've been worrying way too much about the dogs. I worry that they are outside too long or that they got stuck in one of the slats in the fence (happened to Mosby when he was a puppy and I guess it was minorly traumatic for me...I won't forget that!). I worry while we are at work that the air conditioning is going to break since it's working so hard and that they will get too overheated or that I left something on at the house that could cause a fire or accidentally left one of them outside before we left. Yes, I know I'm overly worried and it drives Bryan nuts!

I am looking forward to: July 4th for the day off work and to celebrate our 3 year anniversary.

Movements: I can feel baby move a lot more now and kicks are pretty strong.

Milestones: Can't believe we are over half way there!

It's a....: Bryan and I have been really good and haven't even thought about peeking at the envelope. Bryan thinks we are having a girl and I'm starting to think the same.

Enjoying the Heat

The "Big" Ultrasound Day

First off my parents closed on their house so it's all over, yay! And my sister, Rebecca's surgery went well today!

Overall Status of Baby E

Baby E is healthy and progressing well. :) Not that we were worried but it was a relief to hear all was ok.

Of course Bryan loves this one!

Baby E wouldn't cooperate so this was
as close to a side profile as we could get.

Baby was very active during appointment.

We're Having A...................

It's determined and in the sealed envelopes!!
One is a gender ultrasound pic for us and the other is for the cake baker.
Only 72 days until we know! Haha, we may have to cave and look before then.
Do you think it's a boy or a girl??

Since we aren't aren't able to tell you today if we are having a boy or girl here are a list of fun things for the day.

Gender Predicting-Old Wives Tales

1. We tried the ring test and it didn’t move.
2. Is baby’s heartbeat above or below 140?
3. Do you crave sweet or salty?
4. Did you have morning sickness? Yes or No
5. Are you moody or happy?
6. Is your skin soft or dry?
7. Do you sleep on your right or left side?
8. Do you have more headaches? Yes or No

Count for girl = 4

Count for boy = 3

My favorite girl name (and Bryan has agreed to as well) is Addison Grace
All my favorite boy names Bryan does not like so if you have any boy name suggestions please send!
We of course just want a healthy baby but when asked if we had a preference we both would say boy.
My Grandma Webb was born on July 13th, my Mom was born on February 13th, I was born on August 13th, and Baby E's due date is November 13th.....would be interesting if he/she was born on their actual due date.
We officially asked our great friends Lauren and Andy to be Baby E's godparents and they happily accepted! :)

20 Weeks

How big is baby this week:

http://pregnant.thebump.com/pregnancy/pregnancy-tools/slideshow/how-big-is-baby.aspx?page=17

Due Date: November 13, 2012

Weight Gain: +3 lb from starting weight.

Symptoms: Felt pretty good all week with the occasional aches.

Cravings: No specific cravings this week.

Aversions: No aversions.

Sleep: Sleeping okay as usual. Starting to feel more pressure on my lower stomach when laying on my back. Your body definitely lets you know when you need to lay on your side.

I am loving: Enjoying cuddle time with Mosby and Jaxson. Love how Bryan has been taking care of me and the dogs. I was super excited that I found black petite maternity dress pants this weekend at Kohls!

I miss: Not really missing anything.

I am looking forward to: June 28th....Big day for the family. Ultrasound day for Bryan and Me, My parents are scheduled to close on their house (Yay!), and my sister, Rebecca is having surgery to remove a mass (non cancerous but needs removed). So prayers all around for Thursday would be great!

Movements: Baby continues to move around and I can tell that the kicks are getting stronger.

It's a....: Now that it's getting so close to when we could actually find out the baby's gender it's going to be hard to wait until September. I know it will be fun to wait though so it will be worth it!
