21 Weeks

June 27th!
Baby girl is the size of a Least Weasel- SO CUTE! AH! She's about 10 1/2 inches long and weights about 3/4 of a lb- almost a whole pound! She's started to create her first poop- meconium. YAY. lol. Her skin is still see- through and she will start putting on fat soon. 

How's Mama? I'm doing well. The second trimester has definitely been much easier on me! I'm still getting some headaches and even had a migraine that caused me to throw up :( It woke me up in the middle of the night it was so bad. Heartburn has been an ongoing thing also and my back has started to bother me some. I promise, I do love being pregnant though! haha. It really isn't bad at all. I still cant eat chicken. Just the thought makes me want to puke. Which really sucks because chicken is cheap and it's hard for me to keep thinking of meals to make without it. lol. Actually, when it comes to food in general- it's been a challenge. I thought I would crave a lot of foods and whatnot. While I have craved some, I've definitely had more aversions. Or I'm just apatheic about eating- even when I'm hungry. This has lead to me not wanting to make dinner at all, so we've been eating out a lot. Hopefully, it goes away! The sweets craving is still STRONG. Baby girl really has a sweet tooth! haha I've started to feel her every now and then too, which is still really cool. Definitely my favorite thing about pregnancy :D 

Oh fun story- This week at work- I got on the elevator when I got to work one morning and an older co-worker that works on my floor also got on. She asked me how I was doing and then looked at my belly and goes "OMG BABY GIRL IS GETTING BIG!! ARE YOU SURE YOU ARE NOT HAVING TWINS?!" Now, let me tell you 1) this is the second time she has asked me this and 2) I was not in a good mood. So out of my mouth like word vomit came "THAT IS SUCH A RUDE QUESTION TO ASK SOMEONE. STOP ASKING ME!!" and then I proceeded to burst out and cry. She looked shocked and then trapped me on the freaking elevator and wouldnt let me off. She kept apologizing and asking if we were still friends. I had to push past her and go to the bathroom. When I came out- she was at my desk. LADY GIVE ME SOME SPACE. I mean dang. You just told me I look huge- can you please go away? Finally, she went away when she could tell I clearly wasnt interested in talking to her. Hopefully now she wont ask anyone else if they are expecting twins :D 

How's Daddy? He's doing much better! Still recovering from annual meeting. He's been working really hard on our garage and attic to start getting things organized. Kind of daddy nesting, but stuff that needed to get done and we've been putting off. I'm so proud of him! 

I'm really bad at taking before pictures, but it was covered in stuff, so this is a huge improvement!
He also re-floored the entire attic!!
 And built these awesome shelves! 
More pictures to come once we've done a little more! :D Other than that, I swear he's developing my sense of smell, pregnancy brain, and some of my cravings :D I also keep teasing him that he's nesting. :D 

This week: Was a little more chill than last week! haha. At least we were not all over the state. Well, I did have to go to Wake Forest University for a site visit and was gone Thursday and Friday, but other than that we got dinner with the Kinlaws and worked around the house some :D
