Baby #3: 22 weeks

I'm feeling:
Tired again.  Afternoon naps have made a comeback.  Coffee in moderation has become a daily vice.  Nesting has become a desire, but I'm waiting to find out if it's a boy or girl!!!

Baby Center says:
At 11 inches (the length of a spaghetti squash) and almost 1 pound, your baby is starting to look like a miniature newborn. His lips, eyelids, and eyebrows are becoming more distinct, and he's even developing tiny tooth buds beneath his gums. His eyes have formed, but his irises (the colored part of the eye) still lack pigment. If you could see inside your womb, you'd be able to spot the fine hair (lanugo) that covers his body and the deep wrinkles on his skin, which he'll sport until he adds a padding of fat to fill them in. Inside his belly, his pancreas — essential for the production of some important hormones — is developing steadily.

Butterflies

Oh. my. goodness.  I want to do this craft.  I mean, I want to do this craft...whether the kids are involved or not.

Belly Progress, Week 21

Woah, nelly!  Where'd that come from?

A Beach Ball And A Cookie

Apparently, a beach ball and a cookie go together.  Like peanut butter and jelly.  Like Sonny and Cher. 

While playing Memory with Caleb, he turned over a beach ball and a cookie. 

"Hey, those go together!"

"You might be at the beach, playing with a beach ball.  And then you get hungry for a cookie.  Then you could eat this cookie."

Baby #3: 21 weeks

I'm not really a fan of the carrot comparison, because baby is actually much fatter than this.  I guess it's mostly for the length anyway...

I'm feeling:
Nostalgic about Caleb when he was younger.  Weary from feeling larger than normal.  Apprehensive about pushing another child through the birth canal.  Scared about having three children in my care.  Excited about getting in the pool on Monday, even if I am wearing a tent for a bathing suit.

Baby Center says:
Your baby now weighs about three-quarters of a pound and is approximately 10 1/2 inches long — the length of a carrot. You may soon feel like she's practicing martial arts as her initial fluttering movements turn into full-fledged kicks and nudges. You may also discover a pattern to her activity as you get to know her better. In other developments, your baby's eyebrows and lids are present now, and if you're having a girl, her vagina has begun to form as well.

A Few Thoughts From This Morning

It's amazing how pleasant it is outside before 11am when there's actually shade in the back yard.  Maybe I should refrain from being lazy and staying inside more often...


This body wash makes me feel like I'm on vacation.  Not sure exactly what scent makes me feel that way, but I LIKE IT!!!


I HATE when I buy strawberries and leave them on the counter just over one night and they're practically ruined by the next morning.  What a waste!


Why can't I get motivated to sew?  Is there something I can do to help myself along?


Caleb has been saying "Syrup" instead of "Sarah" all day.  "Syrup is dirty."  "Syrup needs a nap."


I could seriously eat an entire jar of Nutella by myself.  In one sitting.  But that would be 170% of my daily allowance of fat for one day.  I think I'll stick with the regular 2 tablespoon serving.
