BUMp 21

today marks 21 weeks. and as usual every Friday I get my "bump" updates sent to my e mail so at 6:45 when the alarm goes off i roll over, grab my phone, and thumb through my e mails and discover the "bump" update... today read..

Gasp...is that a stretch mark?!! Take deep breaths and remember -- they'll fade after delivery. Your skin may also feel dry and itchy, especially over your emerging bump. Take a cue from your fetus, now coated by vernix (a milky, protective cream), and slather on the lotion.

well "goodmorning" to you too... I quickly was in the bathroom checking out the bump, so ar so good, but boy are we growing. I am still feeling great though, however sleeping is not so good. I have never been one who says they cant sleep through the night, in fact as soon as i am in bed within 5 minutes of saying goodnight to my Mr. my eyes are closed and i am out like the lights.

lately, not so much last night went a little something like this, slept for 2 hours, bathroom, slept for 1 hour, bathroom, tossed and turned for 45 minutes, fell asleep for 30 minutes tossed around again for 20 minutes slept for an hour, cuddled up real close to Nick and said "honey... Im hott..." he got up and turned the air conditioner up, fell asleep for 2 hours, bathroom break, drank a glass of water, bathroom break, beeep beep beeep the alarm goes off... and I wake up to my bump e mail ....
I have been thinking of ordering one of those pregnancy pillows that has the cut out for your belly to rest over, and then rest of the pillow you can hug in close to you... they arent bad priced either, so we will see how the next couple nights go for us...

I am really enjoying being pregnant I must say, Nick and I are both enjoying each and every day of it, latley we come home from work and after dinner we sit in teh living room with our hands on the bump waiting to see if we will feel little Jada Move... I believe I am starting to feel slight fluttering, but I keep telling myself "no way, that couldn't have been her" so we are anticipating when she is bigger and stronger to give us a good kick where we both can feel.. we have another apt with our midwife on Tuesday because my last apt was the first time I had seen her she wanted to schedule an apt for 2 weeks because last time she didnt have all my records, so hopefully they have all been transfered and who knows maybe we will have another ultrasound... I will keep you posted...

well not its time to go put some hott rasberry leaf tea on, I have been loving this and really good during pregnancy, it builds up the lining in your uterus making it stronger for contractions for a smoother delivery... here is some more info about it
