21 Weeks ;)

So my hubby and I decided to start reading to Parker so he could get used to our voices. We went to the bookstore to pick out some baby books to read. So I pick out

This is such a classic, I loved reading this to my daughter when she was little (one of her first words was "moon" too)




So, what does my wonderful hubby pick out??

I love my hubby, he is so cute. He read it to Parker last night. What is great about my hubby's choice is that it puts me to sleep. ;)

I can't wait for FRIDAY!! Yay my mother in law comes into town. We are all so very excited to see her and spend some time with her. We will be getting Parker's crib and setting up the nursery together.

We have another ultrasound type appointment this Friday too. It's called a fetal echocardiogram. Our OB is pretty confident that everything is going to look great since his heart looked healthy at our 18week ultrasound but because the fluid behind Parker's neck at the 12 week NT scan was on the high side of normal she wanted me to have this done as a precaution.

How far along: 21 weeks
Weight gain: still at 8 pounds total
Stretch marks: No changes
Symptoms: My nausea is back a little, heartburn is pretty bad and I think that maybe triggering my nausea.
Sleep: I'm having the hardest time not sleeping on my back, when I sleep on my sides even with a pregnancy pillow I wake up with my neck/shoulder out of wack.
Best Moment this Week: My hubby has been able to feel Parker move for a few weeks now but today he actually saw my belly doing waves because of Parkers moving.
Food Cravings: Nothing specific, I'm just hungry alot
Labor Signs: BH only
Belly Button in or out?: In
Wedding rings on or off?: On but getting tighter
Movement: Lot's of movement
Milestones: Not just feeling Parker moving but seeing my belly move because of his kicking.

20 weeks, we are half way there :)

How far along: 20 weeks 1 day(going by 10/3 edd)
Weight gain: 8 pounds
Stretch marks: No changes
Symptoms: I'm actually feeling pretty good, get tired a little faster each day and I definately have a hearty appetite but, other than that I'm good.
Sleep: I'm still tossing and turning at night, my dreams are getting worse and my back is killing me in my sleep. I think we need a new mattress.
Best Moment this Week: Parker is moving so much, it's so comforting everyday to feel him kicking me.
Food Cravings: Everything? I'm hungry almost all the time but I'm being good and eating healthy :)
Labor Signs: BH only
Belly Button in or out?: In
Wedding rings on or off?: On but getting tighter
Movement: Lot's of movement
Milestones: We are at the half way point :D

The stash so far...

I bought some boy clothes after the NT scan ultrasound, even though they weren't 100% sure it was a boy. Then after the gender scan I bought quite a few more. I love onesies and you can't have to many of those. My daughter wore those almost exclusively, especially here in AZ with the warmer weather. The first outfit is from Picaflor, that is the outfit we chose for the going home outfit, atleast for now unless I find a cuter one. It is so cute, has matching pants and there is the cutest teddy bear style beanie hat.

We are going to cloth diaper, I have been sewing already and have made 4 all in one diapers so far. I also made a "not so flat" diaper but didnt picture that one yet. I purchased 1 fitted diaper and 2 covers from a local boutique. I have also purchased a few more diapers from an online swap. I will be very excited to get those :D All in all we have a long way to go to complete the diaper stash. We want to have about 2 dozen all in ones, fitted, flats, and covers total before Parker arrives.

edit: I decided I really don't like the "Not so flat diaper" bleh. It's funky to use and no way my hubby could figure it out. I decided to download a One size pocket diaper and see how I liked it. It was easy to sew, maybe 20 minutes tops, and I love it...so far. I have to use a waterproof cover but, I'm very much ok with that. I have to sew so many more and the newest pattern I have will accomodate many sizes(which means less sewing), so I will be able to use them as Parker grows. The other ones I have sewn so far are size specific instead of a one size diaper.
