21 Week Update

What a great weekend! We went out for breakfast and pretty much finished up our Christmas shopping. We made it home late afternoon, enjoyed the snow flurries and 9 degree temps. Sunday we went to Home Depot and bought the paint for the nursery! I have to say, seeing the paint colors all together had me giddy. I called my mom and told her why I was so excited. She on the other hand was excited to be flying to MN for the month of December (they live in AZ in the Winter). She hasn't seen me since September and I could hear how excited she was to finally see her daughter's growing belly in person. My dad follows her here next week for the month too...I'm excited to have my parents home for the holiday's.

Tomorrow is my 33rd birthday and happy 21 weeks to the nuggets too! They are 3/4 of a pound each and 11 inches long each. I can feel both of them every day and I can tell when they are awake and when they're napping. They have eyebrows now and in a serious growth spurt the next 4 weeks.

I had Jason scan in some photos from the pictures we had taken for our Christmas card. We had so many great shots to choose from. It's hard to believe these photos were taken the weekend before Thanksgiving. My baby bump is probably twice the size now...the last two weeks I've really popped. At 21 weeks I'm still hovering around 15 pounds (some days it's 14 some days it's 15). I feel great though...I keep telling myself I'm definitely in the honeymoon phase of pregnancy.
