Bump Update: 21 Weeks!

Whoooooaaaaaa.... we're (a little over) half way there...

How far along are you? 
21 weeks!



Total weight gain? 
9 lbs.  I'm fairly certain that 7 of that was from the cruise!

Baby Information?
Still moving and a grooving.  All the time!!!  Heartrate was 150 yesterday!


Any doctor news?
Blood pressure is 112/52.  Doctor didn't seem too concerned about the bottom number being so low. 

Best moment ?
Scott finally being able to feel her poke last night!

Worst moment ?
So,  I went through this really awesome phase when I was pregnant with Lucas where my eczema went away. That has not happened this time yet.  In fact, I think it is getting worse!

Stretch Marks?
Knock on wood, no.
I'm all about the cocoa butter!

 Gender? 
Still a girl!
 
Sleep?
Getting better! 
I just have to get up to use the bathroom twice a night...

Food cravings or aversions?

Cereal.  Bagels.  Yum.


What I miss?
Wine.  Yes, I still miss wine.  I'm a teacher.  I know people say you can have a glass of red wine when you are pregnant, but I like LARGE glasses of wine!
 
What I'm looking forward to?
The room!  Scott is still all about Disney Princesses.  I vote no.  I will get my way.  I'm the pregnant one :)

Crazy Dreams and Potty Training...

Happy Saturday!  I'll post a "bump update" after Tuesday's appointment.  This is all about wacky pregnancy dreams.  I had two pretty wild dreams last night.  I can't remember anything about the 2nd one right now, but if I do, I'll post again so maybe you "dream interpreters" can help me!

Here's Dream #1:  I'm driving in Connecticut looking for pizza with my aunt.  I somehow wind up in New Haven.  Then, my aunt is gone and I'm now with my mom and walking to my other aunt and uncle's house in West Haven.  Then, we are waiting for a taxi to get back to Florida... and I have no pizza.  Then, we are back at my aunt and uncle's house sleeping and my uncle comes in... and that is when I woke up because this little girl was once again tap dancing on my bladder. She is very good at that!

I didn't eat anything out of the ordinary before bed last night!  Strange...

In other news, we were thinking about starting to potty train Lucas this weekend, but now I'm not so sure.  He doesn't consistently tell me when he goes in his diaper. He likes to sit on the potty, but waits until AFTER he goes to tell me he wants to sit on it (if he tells me at all).  We still struggle with pulling pants down and up.  On one hand, I feel like we should wait a little longer to perfect the pants thing, but on the other hand, it would be really nice to have him out of diapers.  I know we can't force him until he is ready, but what other signs should we look for???
