21 Weeks

Time to walk up 4 flights of stairs at work: 47 seconds 
Sleep: Crazy dream about scuba diving in Japan which led to being kidnapped
Best moment this week: Picked up a load of free baby gear from Nick and Krista! We got a snap-n-go stroller with the car seat, 2 car seat bases, and a smaller/lighter stroller, too! 
Movement: Stronger kicking, but not very frequent. 
Food cravings: Not a craving, but we found out that if I blanch or boil broccoli, instead of roasting it, it doesn't give me indigestion!  
Belly Button in or out? In (sort of) 
Wedding rings on or off? On 
Happy or Moody most of the time: I'm just a happy girl, what can I say? 
Symptoms: Mitch likes to tell people that I have the "symptomless pregnancy" :)
Looking forward to: Results of my work group's baby name vote. Should be entertaining! A couple of the nominations: Felicia Allison Bland (FAB) or Paige Uriah Bland (PUB).
Best advice I got this week: Make sure to take one last shower before you head to the hospital because you don't know when you'll be able to take another one.

Public Service Announcement:  Don't tell a pregnant lady that her belly looks so "small" or "big" or anything like this or this or this. If you must say something, "You look great!" is safe. 

First load of baby stuff! This was from Nick and Krista!!
