How far along are you? 22 weeks
How big is baby? Size of a small doll!!!!
Weight gain/loss? Still watching what I eat and walking a lot with Adam… that has become our favorite thing to do together :) This week we walked to get Breakfast burritos for Cinco de Mayo just so we didn’t feel guilty… walked over three miles to enjoy a HUGE yummy burrito… worth every calorie!!!
Stretch marks? Not yet!!
Maternity clothes? YUP!!! Still fitting in my original Gap jeans I bought at 12 weeks… size 6 so I feel pretty good about that :)
Best moment this week? I was eating lunch while working at him and Connor started moving a bunch but it was above my belly button which he hadn't been before… I lifted up my shirt and could see him moving around!!! I giggled for a bit then he stopped moving… when he started back up again he was right under my belly button and was making it pop out when he moved. It was a VERY strange feeling but made me laugh SO hard!!! I called Adam but could barely tell him what was happening because I was laughing so hard :)
Gender? Big Boy!!!
Movement? SO MUCH!!!
Belly button? Still the same…stretched out to the side but not popped out!
Symptoms? I feel great! Lots of energy and LOVE me some Watermelon and Cantaloupe!!!
What do I miss? Dessert… trying to be better but I MISS IT!!!
What am I looking forward to this week? Baby growing stronger and bigger!!!
Milestones? Connor went to his first concert this weekend with Mommy & Daddy and Aunt Holland &Uncle Cole. We went and saw The Black Keys and Connor LOVED IT! He would move around but only when the music stopped!! Aunt Holland felt him moving around for the first time and she LOVED it :)

Week 21
How far along are you? 21 weeks
How big is baby? Large banana
Weight gain/loss? Walking three times a week and trying to eat more fruits and veggies… so hopefully I am on track this month!!
Stretch marks? Not yet… I hate the silly cream I have to rub on my tummy and legs because it feels sticky but I don't want those stretch marks hahaha.
Maternity clothes? Oh yeah!!! I have found that Old Navy is my friend when it comes to Maternity clothes… great prices… they fit well and you can return to the store if ordered online. AND my Old Navy has a maternity section!!! Old Navy for Weekend clothes and Gap for work clothes!!!
Best moment this week? Just feeling my little guy move… I am starting to really get attached to him and the feeling of him in my tummy. I got sad this week thinking about him not being in there in a few months… I am going to miss him kicking me hahaha!!
Gender? ALL BOY!!!
Movement? Love feeling my baby boy!!!
Belly button? You can see it poking out through my shirt but it hasn't really poked yet… Still stretched sideways but a little pokey I guess.
Symptoms? Feel great!!! Love sleeping with my Snoogle… if I didn't have that thing I don't know what I would be doing at night… So comfy!!!!
What do I miss? Texas… nothing to do with the baby… just a little blue!
What am I looking forward to this week? Baby boy growing strong!!!
Milestones? We think we have landed on a name… Connor James Terpstra. We really like it! Connor is just a name we like and James is Adams middle name as well as his dads name and grandfathers name. Connor will be a fourth generation James :)

Week 20
How far along are you? 20 Weeks
How big is baby? Small Cantaloupe
Weight gain/loss? AHHHH!!!!!!!!!! I went to the doctor and she said I gained 9 pounds this month. That is a total of 13!!! I freaked out but the nurse didn't seem to care at all and was consoling me. The doctor didn't even say a word about my weight when she came in. I also did a little research on my own from my What To Expect When You Are Expecting book and this is just about on track… IF I don't gain another 9 next month :( I am going to start being very disciplined with my walking and watch my sugar intake!!!
Stretch marks? Not yet...
Maternity clothes? For sure… I am really showing now so there is no turning back.
Best moment this week? We went to a specialist this week to make sure the babies heart looks good. Adam has an enlarged heart that he was diagnosed with in High School so they wanted to be safe and check out the baby. Everything looked GREAT! And we got to see our little man again!!!! I LOVE seeing him!!! He was being a little stubborn and didn’t want to let us see his face but we got to see everything else and confirm he IS in fact still a boy :)
Gender? Still a BOY!!!
Movement? SO much movement at night when we are going to sleep. Adam loves to feel him every night before we go to bed :)
Belly button? Still stretching sideways but not popped out yet.
Symptoms? Feeling great!!!
What do I miss? Nothing at the moment!!
What am I looking forward to this week? Taking tons of walks with Adam!!!
Milestones? HALF WAY!!!!!

Week 19
How far along are you? 19 Weeks
How big is baby? Size of a large Mango
Weight gain/loss? Haven't been weighing myself but am finally popping out and other people are starting to notice my little belly.
Stretch marks? Not yet
Maternity clothes? Yes… have to on bottom but am still getting away with non maternity on top
Best moment this week? Best moment of the week was on our way home from Florida Adam felt the baby kick for the first time :) Such a joy to see his face after feeling the baby.
Gender? Boy!!
Movement? All the time.
Belly button? Stretched out sideways but hasn't poked out yet.
Symptoms? Feeling great. I am able to stay up later in the evenings… still get tired up at least I am awake!
What do I miss? While at the beach I really missed beer during the day and wine on the porch at night. Very strange as I was never a heavy drinker… but from the way I miss it you would think I was a huge alcoholic.
What am I looking forward to this week? Relaxing from our vacation :)
Milestones? Adam feeling the baby move for the first time… HUGE Milestone.

Week 18
How far along are you? 18 Weeks
How big is baby? 5 1/2 inches long and 5 ounces
Weight gain/loss? 4 pounds when I went to my last check up… I am not weighing myself
Stretch marks? Not yet
Maternity clothes? Yes! I went shopping this week to get some new clothes and in two of the three stores I went in the person working at the store asked me who I was shopping for. Since I am 18 weeks pregnant I was super emotional and feel like they could look at my stomach and see that it is sticking out… But NO they just think I am always this large in the stomach region. I have also ordered a lot of clothes online and none of them fit. I am going to stick to the clothes my amazing sister sent me and pick a few things up here and there. Gap Maternity has been the best for me so far.
Best moment this week? Well… everything has been great… not having morning sickness is making things so much better.
Gender? BOY!!!
Movement? Still feeling little guy but it is at different times of the day now. Sometimes in the morning and sometimes in the evening… I would like to feel him more… sometimes I think it has been too long in-between and it makes me nervous!
Belly button? Still just looks stretched.
Symptoms? CLUMSY… I feel out of bed last week and hurt my ankle a little bit and this week I fell in the Lazy Boy parking lot going to pick out a rocking chair for the nursery. I think it is time to start wearing flats to I don't hurt myself and my little baby boy!!
What do I miss? SUSHI!!! Adam and I loved eating sushi and recently I have been craving it SO much… We still go but it is hard to know what's cooked and what's not so most of the time I end up with variations of California Rolls. Not bad if you really want sushi :)
What am I looking forward to this week? FLORIDA… its all I can think about… CAN'T WAIT FOR VACATION!!!!
Milestones? No milestones really… almost half way there :)
