21 Weeks


21 Weeks Atlanta Style! Feeling great... am I blessed or what?!? There were 2 changes this week... one good, one bad. Bad first (always!) - I have started to not like chicken. WHAT? What the heck am I supposed to eat?  I ate chicken just about every day but the thought of it really gets to me.... unless it's fried! I  know that's weird but that is what pregnancy does, right?! And the good... actually its AWESOME! We saw Zaiah kick for the first time! I felt a couple of good kicks in the morning while I was still laying in bed and Steven was getting ready and so I pulled my shirt up to see my belly and saw it through my tummy! SO COOL! I called Steven over and told him to look... when it happened you would have thought he just saw a ghost. "WOA! I saw it!" It was a great moment! Weight gain update:Up to 11.5 lbs. Crazy how you can gain that much weight in just 4 months but a little miracle baby is growing so I'm good with it! 

20 Weeks + Photoshoot
















Half way there!!! I cannot believe it! 20 weeks feels great! Zaiah is moving a lot more - mostly at night! Steven always talks to him in the morning to wake him up but he is like his momma and doesn't want to wake up! The nursery is coming along quite well... we love it! I might pop my head in there every morning before work just to see it! :) The only craving I remember this week was O'Charley's rolls and fried chicken salad! YUM! I got it at lunch one day. I wouldn't say I like salts or sweets better... they are both loved! I am up 9.5 lbs.

Also this week we got to go to our anatomy scan! IT WAS AWESOME! It was an extra long ultrasound showing all his little parts... we saw all 10 fingers and toes, both arms & legs, his loving 4-chambered heart, his strong spine, his tiny stomach, even saw blood pumping through a vein in his neck, and he is definitely a boy! Here are 2 pics of his profile view... he has his little hands up ready to box with Booti! He is the most handsome little man I have ever seen! 




Here is the pic I posted on social media for this week:
