There are a few things I may have left out on last time I posted. We had to go to a specialist to check out the baby's heart (which looks great, but we will know for sure in 2 weeks) and we also had our anatomy scan during week 20 which scared this momma to the max. Long story short we went to the 'mac daddy' hospital to get a level 2 ultrasound done, now, as a nurse I know they must tell you the worst of the worst but I just wasn't prepared fort hat because it wasn't going to happen to me ... right?! Anyways, they decided to do some measurements on little one and concluded that it looked healthy but small. They told me my dates could be wrong (which I would have been fine with but they were saying like 9 days wrong and I KNEW that wasn't even possible.. if ya know what I mean.) or that baby may be having a problem growing inside of me...also known as intrauterine growth restriction. So yeah.. took that news not so light heartedly as this is MY baby and not just a baby I'm helping bring into the world with IUGR (for short). Followed up with my OB who made me feel SO SO much better. She came in and said she wasn't worried about the measurements but we will redo them in her office along with the follow up echo of the baby's heart to make sure the growth hasn't gotten smaller. This made me feel so much better and more than anything ready to put up a fight for this little one. And for all of those that know my husband and I we are NOT big people.. coming in at a whopping 5'1 and 5'5-6 inches so this could be perfectly normal for us to have a little tiny baby. Carrying on to this week!

How far along: 21 weeks

Size: Banana

Sleep: I've been sleeping pretty good other than having a hard time transitioning from night shift. My sciatic nerve has been giving me a tone of issues but I somehow manage to reposition and wait it out until morning.

Movement: A TON! Jason got to feel the baby kick from the outside during the 20th week but he is getting to feel a ton of movement during the 21st week!! 

Food cravings/aversions: Don't even put anything with hamburger meat in front of me but a plate of juicy fruit and we'll be alright. 

Pregnancy Symptoms: Sciatic nerve pain and movement! One round of severe nausea this week but no sickness =)

What I miss:  Energy. 

What I look forward to: Doing a post on our gender reveal! Which I hope to post a little later along with some belly shots. No promises of course. 

Milestones: The baby is sucking down amniotic fluid this week which helps produce it's first stools! Interesting right?

Best Moments this week: Finally knowing what we are having and preparing for it! 

Best moments with Jason: Seeing his face when he felt the baby thump his hand a million times in a row. 

I'm so looking forward to posting our reveal and ideas for Baby Chinnis! If you read, paha I laugh out loud as I type that because I know my reading population is nothing like that of kellyskorner but hey we'll go with it, then you'll have to endure my endless hours of pinterest idea gathering and baby talk :) Thanks for following!
