Happy St. Patricks Day- 21 Weeks



How Many Weeks: 21 Weeks !!!

Total weight gain: 8 pounds.

Maternity clothes: I am mostly wearing maternity clothes. Although the dress I wore in this weeks picture is Gap non-maternity, which  I got over the summer.

Stretch marks: Not a one!! Let's stay that way.

Sleep: This week has been a little rough. I have been getting up between 2:30 and 4 and not being able to go back to sleep. All day I'm not tired but by 7-8 pm I start to get a bit sleepy.


Best moment of this week: This weekend was so jam packed. It started on Friday when I went over to my cousins to pick up stuff she had for the baby that her little one had grown out of. It is so nice to have such a great family and our little girls will be like 16 months apart. She had so much stuff for us, I couldn't be more grateful. Then on Saturday, I had really pretty maternity pics done with my best friend who is also having a little girl come April. (Pics to come soon).  Then Jenn and I had a wonderful prenatal massage at Flic Spa in Cranford. The massage was amazing, probably the best I have ever had and it included a foot soak and hot tea. I would highly recommend the place to anyone, not just for prenatal massages either. Then on Sunday, I had a great lunch with Meghan and Kristen. Its always fun to catch up with friends who I have known for like ever!!!


Miss anything: Nothing really this week.


Movement: Yes!!! She has been kicking around. She moves a lot in the early morning and at night when I lay down before bed. 


Food cravings: Carbs, carbs and more carbe!!!  Still loving cereal, bagels, and fruit. 


Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing this week that comes to mind.

Have you started to show yet: Yes!  


Gender: It's a GIRL!!!! We are so over the top excited. I never expected the "Blueberry," to be a girl!!

Labor signs: No. 


Nursery: We have nothing definite yet, but we did order her furniture and the room is going to be yellow and grey. 

Belly button in or out: Still in.

Wedding rings on or off: On.

Happy or moody most of the time: Happy!! I am really enjoying being pregnant!!

Looking forward to: Registering tomorrow!!! I can't wait to go and pick out goodies for this little one.

The Big Reveal!!!


So today was the day we had been waiting for!! I had taken the day off of work which worked out really nice because Tom was off as well since he just got back from a golf trip in the Dominican Republic. We had our 20 week appointment/ultrasound at 11 am. I was so excited I barely slept the night before.

We arrived at the doctors and didn't have to wait long before they took us in. We had a wonderful ultrasound technician, she was so friendly and explained everything that she was seeing on the screen and the "blueberry," was so cooperative!!! We got to see the heart, lungs, spine, kidneys, feet, arms, and then it was time for the "Big Reveal!!!" The technician asked if we had any clue as to the sex or if we preferred one over the other and neither of us had any idea! Then she showed us that the "blueberry," was a GIRL!!! We were so incredibly excited!! I couldn't even concentrate the whole rest of the visit. 

After the appointment we went to lunch and then my Mom, Dad, Nick, Chris, Grandma, Erin and Nate came over for dinner!! After we ate we had everyone guess what the baby was and then we told them it was a GIRL!! The votes were split, but everyone was super excited!!

Stretch marks: No. Still lotioning up that belly.
