Baby Bump: 20/21 weeks

So I know my chalkboard boasts 20 weeks, but my camera is on the fritz so we couldn't get this taken until today when we borrowed my brother's. I'm actually 21 1/2 weeks now, but hey, who's counting? : )

20 WEEKS:

Well, I'm halfway there, of course I haven't made it to 40 weeks yet, so maybe a little more than halfway. : ) I've been starting to feel a lot better this week. I only had to take Zofran once and my appetite has been returning. I haven't gained any weight yet (but I gained back what I lost, hooray!) so I'm pretty sure I need to make up for lost time...Cheesecake Factory, anyone?

My baby bump has definitely turned into a baby belly lately. It's been fun to see the change. I think I've gotten a lot bigger faster this time around. Third times the charm, right? : ) What's crazy is my bump is a lot highter than normal so I've been able to still weart ( and I'm talking normally buttoned) my regular jeans! That's never happened, and it's definitely not for a lack of belly as you can see, but just comes down to placement this time I guess.

He's a busy guy in there though and I've been feeling so much movement. It's nice to know he's having a good time :) We've started talking about names. I have a terrible time with boy names! Of course, if we were having a girl, I'd probably be having a tough time with those too. Aubrey's top picks right now are 1. Rocktore and 2. Robin Hood Redd. She's shot all of my names down. This could get interesting...any suggestions for for baby boy #2?

21 WEEKS:

I'm still feeling good. I have a not-too-large baby bump, little man is moving all the time, and my appetite has returned full-force! My energy, not so much, but I'm pretty sure that's just because I'm also a mom to a precocious 4 yr old princess, and a fast lil' 2 year old boy. They definitely keep me busy. My bump looks a little small in this picture, but this was after all, pre-fajita dinner. After dinner, it all changes! : )

I love feeling our little guy in there and have started feeling a lot bigger movements as of late. Big enough that I think Steve will be able to feel them too. Unfortunately, it's hard to coordinate our efforts it seems and baby boy always stops as soon as he feels a hand.

Aubrey was asking me today what things we had to do for the baby and so I mentioned diapering, and giving the baby blankets and toys, etc. Then I said we have to burp the baby after he eats and she said, "Yuck! Not me, that's gross! When the burp they spit up!" It seems she remember more about the baby days of Asher than I knew. : ) She also said, "Whew, babies sure are a lot of work!" Yes, yes they are but oh so worth it...
