21 Week Update

Well I'm 21 weeks almost 22. The only thing I can say about this week is that I'm getting big. I feel really big and I know I'm only going to get bigger. I don't know how or when it happened, but one day this week I woke up and thought I really look pregnant. None of my pants are fitting properly. In fact today I'm wearing a pair of gray work pants that I will seriously not be wearing after today due to the fact they are digging into my skin. In fact I have eliminated several pairs of pants in my wardrobe this week because I can no longer stand to wear them. A friend of ours was very generous, however, and donated several pairs of maternity pants to me. I guess I'm finally forced to try them on.

Yesterday I went to the doctor for my check-up. Everything was still great. The baby of course was moving around like crazy and it was hard for my doc to measure the heart beat. It was still in the 155-160bpm range. My doctor was really excited when we told her we found out we were having a little girl, and she loved the name. I go back Dec 13th and then Dec 28th. After that I go to her every other week until 36 weeks and then it's every week til delivery. Wow!

The next big adventure for us is traveling to Dallas next week for Thanksgiving. We're going to be staying with my brother and sister-in-law and their dog Pecos like we did last Christmas. I can't wait. It's going to be a short trip. We fly in Thanksgiving morning and fly out Saturday morning, but it will be a nice break. Maybe I'll get to to do a little bit of shopping while I'm there too.

I'll leave you with my 21 week bump photo.
