21 weeks!!

How's momma feeling: I've felt great this week. At least 8 hours of sleep is still good for me. I wasn't too too tired any particular day this week but once 8 p.m. rolls around, I'm usually just about ready for bed. I feel like this week things changed. I feel pregnant. My stomach feels pregnant. I can tell it's growing! There's always a bump there (whether I'm sitting or lying down or on my size). It's cool! I love it!
Size of baby: She is about 10 oz and a little over 7 inches long! (about the size of a carrot)
Her swallowing reflex is in full swing!
Cravings: A couple days ago, I thought about a crispy chicken sandwich from Wendy's (random, I know), and I now I kind of want one:).
Aversions: Carrots and ranch dressing (not necessarily together) were not sounding all that great this week (even though I have enjoyed both during pregnancy). I still consumed them, but the thought of them was not necessarily appealing. 
Sleep: My dreams during pregnancy have been so weird, interesting, real, random, etc. Sometimes I think I would get a better nights rest if my dreams weren't so crazy. No worries, the 3 regular pillows and 1 body pillow that I sleep with help compensate:)...haha! (P.S. Thank you to my friend for giving me a body pillow. It's so soft and comfy. That was such a blessing!)
Exercise: When I went to the doctor this week, she said Zumba was a good workout for me to do, so this week at Zumba class baby and I rocked it out! It's so much more fun than doing it with a video!
Clothes: I'm trying to utilize my non-pregnancy clothes that still fit while they still fit...I'm curious as to how long that will be. I have a shopping date planned with a friend at the end of this month, so I plan to pick up a pair or so of shorts and maybe a couple tanks...the hot weather is coming; I just know it!
Looking forward to: Girl clothes! They are just so darn cute!
Something fun: Tom and I are going to a parade/carnival this weekend. It will be a fun date!
It's about an hour away, so maybe we can discuss baby names along the drive.
Thank you, Lord, for: A healthy baby girl! The doctor said she is right on target and she couldn't ask for better update! As of Tuesday, her growth was measuring a due date of 10/17, so she is right on! You go girl!! It was so comforting to see her heart beat and watch her move...she's ok! It's just so powerful to see!
