21 Weeks....Cold hands, Warm heart!


My goodness it has been cold here lately. I do love the cold, but its been rainy as well which I don't like. I feel like my hands and feet are always freezing, but my heart is so warm. This holiday season has been wonderful so far and we haven't even celebrated the holidays yet. I love the cold air, Christmas music, happy kids, and wiggling baby. Every morning taking Rory to school I find joy and happiness looking at all the Christmas lights ( because its still somewhat dark), spending quality time with my sweet babies, and feeling baby#3 chime in as we'll. I love our mornings, no matter how cold, they always make me feel so warm!
Excuse the toothpaste splattered mirror. This is the kids bathroom.


Size of Baby: 7.5 inches, 14oz, a large carrot
Total Weight Gained/Lost:  +5lbs
Maternity Clothes: Getting there. Still using the rubber band trick only because I can't find dark maternity jeans that I like.

Movement: Yep! I feel baby often during the night now and love it. It's kicks aren't strong enough to keep me awake just yet, but I know the day is coming.
Sleep: Good! 
What I miss: Nothing
Cravings: Salads, fruits, omelets, beer
Symptoms: Frequent peeing again. Other than that, nothing new. When I move in an awkward way, I feel my muscles/ligaments pull. They aren't down low as they have been, but more in the center of my belly. If I yarn and stretch at the same time, it's really bad. Sciatica pain has also terrible, but not all the time.
Highlights from this week: Starting a new book that I can not put down. Divergent. A co-worker of mine recommended it and I find myself waking up in the middle of the night or at 5am to read because I just can't get enough. Feels so good to read again.
