21 weeks

At 21 weeks, our baby girl is about the length of a carrot, at least that's what babycenter.com says. I haven't been taking regular pictures of my growth because I feel like I haven't been changing that much...until I stand on a scale. Then I realize I'm growing! So here are some 21 week photos.


My only discomfort with pregnancy has been a constant state of congestion. I finally decided to try the neti pot because people had been telling me about it. If you want a good laugh, watch the video demonstration on YouTube. Then watch the bearded guy do it with coffee and whisky. I've added that to my nighttime routine, then I put on a Breathe Right strip, and turn on the humidifier and I'm ready for a good night's sleep. Honeymoon's over Brandon. This is your wife now.

It's been so fun to start looking at girly things. These are some things that I got or that were given to us. Actually, I already had the Texas Rangers outfit and the blue and cream shirt before I ever got pregnant. I put them on the clothesline with Brandon's sign when I told him we were having a baby.
I love being pregnant. I am just starting to feel her moving around, and it is the coolest thing. I'm enjoying every step of the process, and I'm very much looking forward to turning our guest room into a nursery. I like to decorate anyway, but this will be especially fun!
