And the belly gets bigger...

Here is a shot of me at 20-21 weeks. It may not appear that I'm much bigger than the last shot but I sure feel that way. To date, I've gained about 12 lbs. But I've been indulging a lot so we'll see if I start gaining more. My next OB appt is next week so we'll know how much I've gained for sure. I'm trying not to overdo it but it's hard when you feel like you're starving all the time and sugary treats seem like they are everywhere.

I feel "full" all the time (despite always being hungry) and I have to wake up a lot in the middle of the night because I have to use the bathroom or move around because I am uncomfortable. I'd be lucky if I can stay asleep for 3-4 hours. Most of the time, I am up every 1-2 hours.

I think I'm starting to feel some movements but since it's my first time, I can't really tell what I'm feeling. This week I'm starting to feel more "rumbles" in the abdomen area especially in the evening and after I've had a little bit of sweets.

We're busy putting the final touches on the Shoreline house before it goes on the market. So we haven't had a ton of time to do any planning yet. But we are starting to talk boy names, nursery plans, and look at stuff online to prepare for registering. Lots to do but we still have plenty of time!!
Until the next posting,
