21 Weeks!

Geez, I feel like I just barely finished my 20 week post. I'm moving right along now!!! :) I'm pretty sure that the next couple months are going to fly by because of how busy this summer is going to be. We have a lot of things to look forward to so we're both really excited :)

BUMP WATCH '11

Have any strangers touched your stomach? No strangers yet, they probably just think I'm a binge drinker and have a beer belly. A couple friends on my dance team touch my stomach every practice. I showed up to dance Wednesday night with a tank top on and you could totally see how my belly popped. My sweet Sami came straight over to touch my stomach haha She's obsessed with all the prego's on the team... and I hate that I just said "prego's". Sheree and I are only 4 weeks apart (she's expecting a little girl) so it's fun to watch our stomachs balloon out together. We'll have to take a picture next week :)

Explain what childbirth classes you've taken: Zip. Zilch. Zero. I don't think I want to take any. I just plan on being in pain. My motto is, "expect the worst". That way, I'm just going to prepare myself mentally for it to hurt like you know what and hopefully it won't hurt as bad as I thought. I am, however, working with my chiropractor on my hips. That sounds weird, doesn't it? But really, I told him how I'm concerned about childbirth because my mothers hip never opened enough for her to have my brother and I, she had to do two c-sections. I was just planning on having a c-section since we're built the same way but he said that we can do some preventative work to help my hips become more flexible and rotate the way they're supposed to :) I now go in to see him once a month (once a week the month I'm due) to get adjusted for childbirth... eek! Who knows if it will work but at least I'll know that I did everything I could just in case :)

Have you been nesting? What have you been doing? Oh yes! Neal and I stayed up until 1am Thursday night/Friday morning putting the nursery together. For some reason I convinced myself that my homework wasn't important and that I just HAD to finish his crib skirt. And of course, as soon as I was finished with the crib skirt, I just HAD to finish the pillow. And guess what? Once I was finished with the pillow, I just HAD to finish all of his crib bedding. Did I? No. I stopped after the pillow. But now my house is a mess with thread and fabric everywhere.

Tell about upcoming Doctor's visits: Now that it's MAY we have our next appointment on the 20th, just two weeks from now! I'm excited to see our little boy again, I always look forward to those ultrasounds. I keep watching the video we got last time, I love him :) It's crazy to think that we only have one appt in May, June, and July.... once august hits we'll be going in every other week! I feel like the summer is going to fly by!

What do you enjoy the most/ least about being pregnant? Most? Feeling Liam kick and FEELING like I'm glowing haha No one has necessarily told me that I am but now that I'm not sick anymore I feel like I have the pregnant glow. And now anyone that reads this is not allowed to tell me I'm glowing because I'll know that you just read this...

As for what I enjoy least about being pregnant is waking up in the morning. My back is always so sore, my stomach muscles cramp, and I have to pee like a racehorse.... not enjoyable.

But for you're enjoyment, here's a sneak peak on the progress of the nursery....
