21 Weeks Pregnant

How far along?
 21 weeks today, more than halfway through!
Total weight gain: I'm up a total of 11 lbs, so roughly 2 gained since last weigh in.. doctor said my weight gain is looking great though so I'm not too concerned. However, it is weird to see that number go up but I am confident it will go back down again once Baby T is here!
Maternity clothes?  Yep, all the time. Since it's winter time, I mostly wear my maternity jeans or leggings and then a top and cardigan that are not maternity. I have a few maternity long sleeve shirts that I really like and are basic so I can layer them. I pretty much live in leggings, tank & cardigan, and boots... my staple for sure!
Stretch marks?  None yet, still using my coco butter like crazy!
Best moment this week:  Baby T has been squirming and kicking up a storm. It really is a wonderful feeling and so fun to be able to connect with him. We had a very great moments this week... met with our doctor on Tuesday for a check up and she gave us the test results for our Quad Screen, which tests for down syndrome, spina bifida, and Trisomy 18. Our test results all came back negative and baby appears to be healthy. We are very glad baby is healthy! We did the test only for informational purposes, as it would not have changed our feelings toward our son. We love him unconditionally and no matter the outcome! We are of course happy to hear he is healthy!
Miss anything? I've been missing red wine this past week as it's the holidays and there are so many parties going on. Other than that, my sleep is getting a bit better but I'm finding it harder and harder to bend (ha!).
Movement: Yes, he's a kicking and punching machine!
Food cravings: I've been loving hot chocolate lately.. and last night I had a craving for lemonade, so random!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope
Gender: Boy! We call him Baby T... his name is picked out but we won't be announcing until he arrives!
Labor signs: Nope
Symptoms: No major symptoms really
Belly button in or out? Outie
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or moody most of the time: Happy!
Looking forward to: Christmas is next week! We are so excited that Vince has both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day off this year and we will get to spend both days with our family. The holidays are a busy time for us, as I'm sure it is for many of you, and we try to cram in as much family time as possible. I'm hoping it doesn't exhaust me too terribly! I also can't wait to give Vince his gifts this year. And we already bought Baby T his present... a crib! :)
