Week 21

I have been terrible about journaling about my pregnancy, so I am going to start keeping a weekly log. Here is this week's:

Week 21

Symptoms - Morning sickness has returned every single morning. Energy level is not so great, but not so bad either. I still feel WAY better than I did the first trimester and can't complain. I've said it before, but it's true...this is so worth it for our sweet little Addi! :)

Memorable Moments / Highlights - We went to the doctor and got to see our precious baby girl again! :) I love watching her on the screen and love the look Jared gets on his face as he watches her. She had her hand in the air waving to us again. ;) We found out that she weighs 15 ounces...one ounce shy of a pound! They are now 100% certain she is a girl, which means I can continue to eat My Little Pony and Disney Princess fruit snacks. Jared said if it was a boy, I would have to stop. The ultrasound technician said Addison's spine and heart are beautiful! Last time another technician said the same about her brain. We are so thankful that everything seems well! We also found out that Addison will have another friend to play with. One of my good friends from church is 7 weeks pregnant today! :) It's so much fun to experience pregnancy with others...I LOVE it! :)

Feelings/Thoughts - We felt a little overwhelmed this week as we started discussing baby sitters and our lack of family around the area. But, we figure we can swap babysitting services with some of our friends from time to time as needed.... and are pretty certain that our families will be here quite a bit to help out on a lot of weekends anyway. :) As we have started decorating for Christmas and listening to Christmas music pretty much all the time, I can't help but think about how different next year will be with a little one! What fun!!! :) Other than that, we're just feeling very thankful and excited! :)
