How Far Along: 21 Weeks ACK - over 1/2 way there ...
Size of baby: A banana - YUM
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Still having issues with this one - but I am officially UP 5 pounds ... Glad to know BW is getting all the nutrients s/he needs...
Gender: We DO know ;-) However we are NOT telling until all of our family knows ... Soon! Husby and I are BEYOND tickled and cannot WAIT to meet this teeny little being - though not too soon!

Movement: A TON - BW must take after Mommy - Active Active Active ... Hoping to have a future equestrian/runner/ice hockey player on our hands (again just like mommy)
What I miss: Nothing - well being active - REALLY hard to NOT do much ...
Sleep: Sleeping better on the weekends since I can GO to sleep right when I would normally be getting up - Weird how that workds
Symptoms: Contractions STILL ... Meds are helping a lot but I still have had to call the OB several times in the last two weeks because they have gotten over the 4-6 an hour range ... Luckily rest, LOTS of fluids and some more meds have stopped them ... Food aversions still, on and off nausea ..
Cravings: Still LOVING Ice water and COLD fruit ... Occassionaly some soft serve YUM - Anything super super cold and wet ...

Notes: Getting a to do list written down so I can mark things off, picking out nursery paint and color scheme ... Looking at bedding, discussing names - Still cannot decide or rather AGREE on anything :) Hopefully it will come BEFORE we have to leave the hospital
Best Moments this week: Being able to STOP the contractions! Feeling BW move and seeing my skin POP out with the harder jabs and pokes :)
What we are looking forward to: Planning the nursery, SEEING BW on the screen on Friday! Deciding on names ... Finding out how to keep BW in as LONG as possible ... My dr appt on Friday to make sure I am NOT dialating anymore ... Crossing fingers I am NOT - I would like a SPRING baby NOT a winter one - too soon for BW to make an appearance!
