Bump Pic Monday
Hello, ladies. I apologize for my incredibly early and non-enthusiastic post this morning. I was confined to the couch, with my face in the toilet all weekend. Turns out the food poisoning I thought I had was a stomach virus, and my poor husband had it, too.
I'm finally not throwing up anymore, but I feel so weak having gone 24 hours with no food or liquid, and barely any sleep.
But on the bright side, we are getting our crib today! I hope you all had a better weekend.
Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 21w5d. I can't believe it.
Size of Baby: I think a banana this week?
Total Weight Gain/Loss: +13 pounds the last time I weighed in, a few days ago. However I have been puking my guts out since then, so I'm guessing it dropped.
Maternity Clothes: Jeans, and a few tops. My sister bought me a whole bunch of maternity clothes from Old Navy this weekend, I am super excited about them.
Movement: She's been really slow the last couple days, it has me a bit worried. But I haven't been active at all.
Symptoms: Hip/lower back pain, indigestion.
What I Miss: Working out.
Girl, Boy, or Team Green: A little girl named Elodie. We have been calling her smelly-Ellie all weekend. Who needs mean middle school bullying when your own parents give you terrible nicknames from the start? 
Belly button In or Out: Out and needing it's own bra.
Cravings: Fresh fruit, applesauce.
Best Moment This Week: Telling our families at Thanksgiving what we are having. We blew up a giant 3 foot balloon for my family, and it said "boy or girl? on it. We had my 87 year old Grandpa hold a stick with a needle attached, and told him to poke whichever one he thought it was on the balloon. When it exploded, it was full of pink & white confetti.
For my in-laws, we baked cupcakes with pink in the middle.
What Are You Thankful For This Week? A loving and supporting family.

Size of Baby: Banana - 10.5 inches long
Total Weight Gain/Loss: +12.5 lbs. Laying around for the last 2 days didn't help that much
Maternity Clothes: I wore one pair of work pants last Wednesday, but so far that's it. Back in normal pants today.

DH takes the official bump photo on Monday nights, but I thought I'd post this photo this week- it's from the surprise "half-way there" party my parents, sister, and BIL threw for us last night! It was so sweet- everything was "half" themed- my sister even made half a cake!

Maternity Clothes: I have a couple pairs of pants that are still too big, but I think I just bought the wrong size for me. I still wear them almost every day because none of my old pants fit anymore.

What Are You Thankful For This Week? My amazing family and friends. I even love my IL's. They are all so wonderful and make me feel so loved and welcomed in their family. I couldn't ask for more.
