21 Weeks

21 Weeks and feeling great!

I now feel like I have a bump that in certain outfits actually looks like a little baby rather than too much food!  The little guy seemed to grow a huge amount this week.  We had our anatomy ultrasound on Thursday and Baby M is measuring exactly right for my current due date.  He showed us his stubborn side by refusing to turn his head away from my spine so they couldn't actually get all of the images that they needed and we didn't get a printout of his profile so I am going to have to go back in a week or two.  I don't really mind since it will give us another chance to see the little guy!  It was fun to watch his little limbs moving around and see his heart beating.  Unfortunately the tech doing the ultrasound didn't talk or show us what anything was unless I specifically asked about something so I'm hoping that our next one is better and more informative.

Baby Feet!

This past week Joann's was having a President's Day sale so I stocked up on some fabrics for Baby M.  I had a lot of fun choosing all of the cute fabrics for blankets and ties and carseat covers.  I also received the main fabric for the nursery that I will be using to make a crib skirt, crib blanket, and curtains so I'm excited to get started on all of my projects!  Now I just need to get motivated to start all of the measuring and pinning.

This will be the main nursery fabric.

I discovered this week that if I play the piano for Baby M, he kicks me a lot so either he really loves hearing the music or he really thinks it's awful.  I'm leaning toward him liking it because I play piano better than I sing and he doesn't do the kicking thing when I'm singing loudly :)  It's so fun to feel all of his movements get stronger!  It was funny at my ultrasound because I said I thought he was purposely kicking my bladder all the time and when we saw him he was literally kicking my bladder.  It's a good thing I love him so much because I don't really appreciate the millions of trips to the bathroom!

Fun baby fabrics!
