Pregnancy Update- 21 weeks





The first video is of our sweet little girl yawning....so cute!  And the second video is of her squirming.  Don't blink while you watch they are quick...like 3 seconds.

How Far Along: 21 weeks, 1 day exactly- I can't believe we are past half way!!

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Gained about 13-14 lbs. (I blame the cruise this time)

Maternity Clothes: All maternity and Ryan's clothes.  I am thankful to have been able to get some tank tops-its hot!

Gender: GIRL!!!!!  We are so excited to finally know!  She wasn't modest this time so the sono tech was able to tell for sure. We would have been excited either way, but adding a girl to our family just seems to fit!  And I thought we were having a girl from the beginning, so it was fun to know for sure.

Movement: Lots!  No big kicks yet, but tons of wiggles, especially in the evening, night and morning.  I think when I finally start settling down, she comes alive.  Hopefully we don't have a night owl!

Sleep: Some nights good, some nights I toss and turn.  Putting a fan on me has helped.

Symptoms:  Just the tingling I wake up with in the middle of the night...reminds me that I am sharing my blood flow with my little girl.  And being extra hot...I know its going to get worse before it gets better.

Cravings: Cold, sweet stuff.  Summer fruit has always been a favorite, so watermelon, blueberries, strawberries...and ice cream of course!

Best Moment this week: Getting to find out that we are having a little girl!  And seeing her moving around was really neat.  We celebrated the news with an ice cream date and a trip to Babies R Us and Buy Buy Baby to browse all the cute pink stuff!!!  We only made one purchase...an adorable little onsie that says "Little Sister"

Her girl parts.

She is facing the camera.

I think she has her daddy's toes!

Blowing a bubble.  Here's her profile.

BABY O II is a........

GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

We just wanted to share our exciting news with fellow bloggers!
We would have been excited either way.  We are just so grateful the little one cooperated today and kept her hand out of the way :)  And adding a little girl to our family seems to be just perfect!  As Ryan's brother, Kevin said, "Now you have the collectors set."  Hilarious!! 

We are looking forward to meeting this precious little girl (who doesn't have a name yet).
