21 weeks

21 weeks and 1 day 
 Niko decided to run up and photobomb this week! :)
 
 
How far along? 21 weeks, 1 day
Total weight gain:  10 lbs
Maternity clothes? Just wearing looser, pre-pregnancy shirts and jeans with rubber band to button
Stretch marks?  Nope. 
Sleep: pretty good-using my body pillow now :)
Best moment this week: Celebrating mother’s day!   We made a great lunch for my mom and grandma, then barbequed with Lisa’s family for dinner.  Perfect food, weather, and company!  Pete came into town too and it’s always great seeing him!
Miss Anything?  A flat stomach!  I’m starting to feel huge.
Movement: Lots!  Even saw him moving my stomach
Food cravings:  Chips and sweets (all the bad stuff)
Gender prediction: Predictions are done-it’s a boy just as we guessed!
Anything making you queasy or sick:  Nope
Labor Signs:  A few Braxton Hicks contractions, but nothing bad. 
Symptoms:  My lower back is still sore by the end of the night-carrying around Niko doesn’t help! :)  A little heartburn from time to time and, as I already said, I’m just feeling big (and I still have another 15+ lbs to go)!
Belly Button in or out?  Same as previous weeks
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!!!
Looking forward to:  Seeing Landon’s family in Puyallup this weekend.  We will finally be able to watch Gio’s baseball game and see him celebrate his 1st communion!  Our little godson is growing up!  Niko loves being around his little uncle and auntie!

19 weeks



19 weeks and 4 days
 
We had a great time in North Carolina celebrating Blake and Steff's wedding!  It was awesome to see all of our friends again and to enjoy the warm weather.  We got to go to the beach the next day to lay out, paddle board, and enjoy some good food (and shaved ice)!  We also were able to run around NYC for a few hours during a layover on our flight home.  I loved having some time with just the two (or technically 3) of us-even if we did miss Niko like crazy.  Amazing trip!
