Lil Hoff Update Week 21




Hello From Week Number 21!!!

 

Well trying to take a picture every Sunday is not as easy to remember as one would think. So this picture was actually taken Tuesday morning when Farmboy stopped by to say Hi and I grabbed my camera and said "Take my picture" but here it is. My "official" week 21 picture. 

What is happening with Lil Hoff

1. It is about 7 inches in length (about a large banana) and almost 11 oz in weight.

2. It is practicing swallowing and digesting while taking in  amniotic fluid which is tasting different now depending on what I am eating. So if I want Lil Hoff to like broccoli, now is the time to be eating it :)

3. It's arms and legs are finally in proportion, neurons are now connected between the brain and muscles, and cartilage through the body is turning to bone which means the baby is making is making it's own moves.

**** Exciting News****

Hopefully this will be the last post where I have to say "it" because we do find out on the 6th what we are having!!!!!! Neither Farmboy nor I have expressed what we would like to have. It truly will be a blessing whether it will be a Lil Hoff or a Lil Hoff-ette. What we want is a healthy baby. We do have our fingers crossed that we will be finding out the sex and that it will only still be only one baby.

What's going on with me

1. I have heartburn at least once a day. Not for long but it does linger.

2. I do have more energy! Yea!!!

3. I have not felt Lil Hoff. Boo!!!

4. I had my first back pains this week. Boo!!

5. I have an appetite! Yea!!!

6. Constant Burping. Boo!!

7. Realized that I really do have a baby growing in me and that very soon Farmboy and I will be walking around with a baby. FULL TIME. eek!!

8. Even with added energy I am dragging myself out of bed every morning. I just want to lay there 10 more minutes, please?? Can I do that?? 

9. I have had some comments from certain family member *ahem, cough, cough* mother that I am looking rather large already and I am just now starting to show. Then I had my second belly touch this week by a very sweet lady at church while she very nicely said "There aren't twins in there, is there?"  So I am a little worried about what I might be looking like in about 4 months.

10. I HAVE to have a glass of milk a day now and it can not be cold enough for me. While on a trip I had some from IHOP and it was the best milk I have ever tasted. I now compare every glass of milk to that certain one.

Here are the flowers that Farmboy sent to me at work for our anniversary. 


They were a complete surprise and it felt so refreshing to have flowers on my desk and they smelt wonderful! Brightened up my little area. 

Farmboy and I celebrated out 6th anniversary with a little get away in St.Louis and had just some relaxing time to talk about everything and hit that realization while looking at other couples with children, that very soon that will be us and has it really sunk in yet? 

The trip started off with a little shopping spree at Motherhood where Farmboy spent close to 45 minutes picking out clothes and telling me how cute I looked with my belly. That is what I am choosing to think he meant when his exact words were "You look pregnant". He WAS very patient and very loving while we was there. We then went the movies and then went back to the hotel room where both of us needed a nap and then got ready to go to a Cardinal's game. While at the Motherhood store I picked up a Cardinal shirt for me to wear to the game. 


The shirt said "Mom's Future Cardinal Fan" and had a arrow pointed down the Lil Hoff. I personally think I rocked this shirt. After a minor detour (of getting on the wrong train and having to ride it to the end only to get back on the right train and travel back the way we came) we ended up at the stadium. I had to go through a purse check before I could enter the game and the lady looked through my purse then looked up at me and said "This is a very nice purse!" I just smile very big and said "Thank you" ha. The game was horrible!! Neither team scored for the first 5 innings and then in the 8th innings Cardinals kept sending relief pitchers in and we left at the point. There was no reason to sit there and watch the pitcher walk batter after batter. The weather was wonderful for the game though. It did cloud up but never rained. 



The next day we went to another mall and I got to shop at my absolute, most favorite, scrapbook store. And  Farmboy got to go to Sears. We then got two pieces of cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory, Farmboy got a Peanut Butter Cup and I got a Red Velvet and it was to die for! So glad I have my appetite back. I would have missed out on so much good food. After arriving back at work on Monday I got a call from a woman that I used to work for that now works at the bank where Farmboy and I bank at and she said that she believe that I might have some fraudulent charges on my debit card and she said you weren't shopping at Motherhood's up in St. Louis were you? I laughed and said well yes I was and she then remembered that she thought she heard that I was pregnant. We both laughed and got caught up on the happenings in both our lives.

This week has been a very long week, but a holiday weekend is ahead of us which means I dont' work Monday and I get to sleep in 2 out of the 3 days this weekend. Win, Win for me. One chore that I had on my list this weekend is to get my clothes organized from when I have cleaned out my closet and take those in to a consignment store and hopefully earn some money either to get some more maternity clothes or start a wardrobe for Lil Hoff. While separating the Summer from the Winter I did come across a couple of shirts that I do believe I can wear now. So that excited me. 


And this is what is left to take in........


Where these boxes are is in the corner of my scrapbook room and that is where we are going to put the bed from the soon to be nursery so that when we have a guest they can still have their own room. So I am officially starting to get the nursery ready. Old has got to go to let new come in! 

I hope everyone has a very happy and safe 4th of  July and next time I post will be with that big, exciting, news!!!
