We went out to celebrate our friends' birthdays last night, so here is a belly shot of me all dolled up for a night out. I'd like to think I've been a real trooper, staying out late and still wearing heels. We'll see how long that lasts!
How far along: 21 weeks
Size of baby: a banana, about 10.5 inches and 12.7 oz. (measurements went from crown to rump to head to toe this week, which is why there is such a change this week)
Total weight gain/loss: +7-8 lbs...not sure why I haven't gained anything in the last two weeks. Maybe it's because the holidays are over and I'm eating better again? Who knows! I am getting more of a bump, though, so I'm not too worried.
Maternity clothes: I just ordered a few things online so we'll hope they fit. It's been tough finding a lot for work in stores - selection is pretty slim.
Gender: a boy, Nathan Brooks Morgan! Once we knew for sure he was a boy, we were pretty quick to agree on a name. I wanted to honor my family and Ryan's family has a long tradition of using Brooks, so it works beautifully and I think it has a great ring to it!
Movement: I think I've been feeling more kicks, especially last night and this morning.
Sleep: I still love the Snoogle, but it's getting a bit harder to stay comfortable all night and I seem to be tossing and turning a bit more.
What I miss: back to Caesar salads, and wine again - we've been out a few times with friends recently, which makes it hard not to be able to drink!
Cravings: nothing too strong lately.
Symptoms: round ligament pains here and there, but for the most part I'm feeling good!
Best moment this week: I ordered the furniture! I am so relieved to have this checked off the list and can't wait to see the nursery start coming together. Another highlight was starting our registry. While it is completely overwhelming and a bit stressful to see all the choices and opinions on things out there, it's fun to be able to start a list of goodies that Baby M will need. Ryan and I went Friday night to start and my friend Lauren took me for more of the essentials on Saturday, so it's coming together!

I love the name!! I have a couple things with an "N" on it that Nicholas has outgrown if you would like them. I can give them to Kelly. And you continue to look great!
