21 weeks

Seriously? I pre-wrote the 20 week update last week because we were heading out of town for a family funeral. Ugh, that long drive was killer! Anyways, I didn't get time to really to think about the fact I was halfway through my pregnancy. I hadn't been feeling the baby either but in the last week he/she has become so active! It's so crazy! 21 week! A week past halfway!!! Geesh! As I lay in bed Thursday night I started to think about the fact I'm pregnant. That I'm actually feeling the baby & that I'm halfway home! It's still, even at 21 weeks, SURREAL! :) So Surreal!

We got a lot of family time. Sometimes I was driven crazy & it was odd talking about "our baby" & all things pertaining to a pregnancy/parenthood but it was nice. I got to say "We're 20 weeks, halfway!" which is amazing but I didn't actually really think about that fact. My aunt told Mike he has to start talking to the baby. My fat roll was rubbed by a few different people which was kinda embarrassing but whatever. Most importantly I got to see all the stuff that has been bought for us/our baby. OUR BABY! Baby stuff for OUR Baby! Did I mention it's still surreal & I still am in denial. I went baby shopping with my  mom which was interesting. It was more of me hitting the baby section while we were shopping. I wish I could've baby shopped with my sister. I officially bought my FIRST maternity clothes. Not just a size bigger that'll be cute when I'm huge but actual maternity clothes bought from Motherhood. Mike & I went to the mall & we walked by Motherhood. I knew it was there & had no plans on going in there but when we were there something pulled me in. I got one pair of shorts & 2 shirts. Yay for Plus Size Motherhood clothes!!! I also put in the 7 month baby bump which really was so unbelievable. To see myself with that big of a bump & to know someday I'll look like that. It won't be wishing or hoping, it'll be reality. :) So amazing. I HAVE to take new pictures because I feel like I've blown up the last 2 weeks. I totally forgot to take week 20 pictures which makes me sad but I'll take week 21 pictures. Wow, week 21 pictures!!! :) The pictures are just for my reference until I actually start looking pregnant. Like really pregnant, not just "she may be pregnant but she's a big girl so who knows". :)

Baby Stats...... Well.... :)
He or She should be about 11 inches & weigh 15 ounces! Wow, our big baby!!! :)
