Well, here I am 21 weeks and counting! At 17 weeks I finally gave in and went shopping for maternity clothes with my mom. Before then I would walk in the store, look through every single article of clothing, and walk out with nothing because I was too insecure to buy somthing - I didn't know what to buy, or what would look good. I think I just needed some reassurance and affirmation! Plus, I think I was trying to hold out as long as I could before venturing into the realm of maternity clothes. (Everyone tells me you get tired of them real quick). But when you can't button your skirts and pants and your shirts can't seem to quite cover your belly, it's time. . .=) I'm also glad I had my mom along for some motherly advice, which was: buy everything BIG because you have no idea just how much your going to grow! (and I am quickly realizing just how true that is becoming!) It was some good bonding time with my mom and we had a lot of fun!


This morning as I was getting ready for work, and a lady from my church called and said that she had been to a garage sale and had picked up a few things she wanted to give to me. To my delightful suprise she had gotten one of those devices where you can hear your baby's hearbeat, and movements!!! I was soooo excited! It was unopened and I haven't tried it out yet, but I can't wait! How cool is that?! ) The package says that it works best toward the end of the 2nd trimester so it may be a few weeks before we can pick up on anything.) The sound of our little girl's heartbeat gives be butterflies everytime - it never gets old! Now we'll have to see if it actually works! =)

Well, that's about the extent of my excitement for the day. There are exactly 10 days until the end of school, which means vacation is just around the corner! I can't wait =)
