21 weeks

OK- so as you know we are not finding out the gender. I think it is MUCH easier to call the baby peanut instead of calling him/her "the baby" all the time. It makes me feel a little bit more of a bond with Peanut as well.

Pregnancy: 21 weeks

Weight Gain: Up 11 so far. I am good with this. I am going to lay off the late night PB&J's though.

Sleep: If my kids would stay asleep I would be ok. Jace and Kara are both cutting teeth, ergh! It has also been a little bit of an adjustment sleeping on my side since I am a tummy sleeper. Jason and I bought new pillows made for side sleepers so my neck would not be all messed up and it has helped, again it is an adjustment.

Gender: Still a surprise but Jason SWEARS he saw a penis. I think he is crazy since the dr could not even see anything, lol.

Names: We have discussed a few names and I will share them here. If you have something negative or nasty to say about them, make sure I do not hear you or it does not get back to me. I think it is rude and disrespectful to bash someones name choices. I am SICK of hearing peoples nasty comments on the names we picked. Everyone gave us a mound of crap when we chose Nylin but now, EVERY ONE loves her name and they all say it fits her perfect. I mean could you see her as a Mia? That was going to be her name before I "discovered" the name Nylin.
----stepping off the soap box-----

Girl names- Kennedi Rose or Kenley Rose, we will decide when she gets here, if she is a she.
Boy Name- Jackson John

Feeling: I still feel great. I've been feeling the effect of a bigger belly though. My hips hurt a lot and bending over is becoming more difficult but I know that is only going to get worse.

Health: I am doing GREAT! My blood pressure is right where it needs to be.

Movement: I am feeling movement all the time now. When I lie down at night I can really feel it. All the craziness tends to keep me up for a while BUT Peanut only has so much energy and eventually falls asleep, allowing Mommy to sleep.
It was super cool to see Peanut moving all over at the ultrasound. I could feel the kicks and punches and see it at the same time. I think Peanut is going to be an excellent boxer! Peanut is constantly punching the crap out of me! I thought it was kicks before but the ultrasound showed nice little fists.

Belly: My belly is nice and round now. I can't really tell if it is high or low, it is just there. My belly button is till in but it is starting to shallow out more. I doubt it will ever be an outtie since I did not have that with the other pregnancies, we will see though! No new stretch marks, not that you could tell since I have about 250 already!

Next Appointment: February 17th- I will be 25 wks.

NOW- for some pictures of our Peanut!!!!!!!

Do not let the little picture fool you. Peanut has a nice size head!



I love this picture. I love how you can see the bones in the hand and Peanut was reaching down close to the foot. It was cool to see and I am glad Dr. S captured the picture.



Ok- I know the baby looks a little like an alien here but we still love him or her, HAHA! Jason keep calling Peanut Skelator. Not nice huh?
