So I had somewhat of a heartbreaking revelation occur last night. I was on the floor playing "fort" with the kiddos and Brynnie wanted to sit on my lap, but she kept hitting my belly. Then I got an elbow from Carter. Then someone leaned on my belly to stand up and it hit me. I really need to be careful. And I think my days of playing around on the floor with the kids is officially over.
It breaks my heart.
I mean sure, they still have their daddy. But as I watched from the couch as they all wrestled on the floor, it was hard to fight the urge to go and join them. So I just smiled and took pictures.
I guess I'll just stick to being the cuddle monster mama until this baby arrives. At least I can still play bubbles, soccer, baseball and lots of other stuff with them {the pool!}
But I sure will miss the fort.
Pregnancy: 21 weeks
Weight Gain: 10 pounds
Sleep: Apparently Carter was up all night coughing. I didn't hear a thing. So clearly? I'm sleeping well. {Bob took care of him though :}
Gender: We're team green, so we'll find out in September!
Names: Reid Joseph or Emerson Mae {see the name post here!}
Feeling: I'm feeling really good this week!
Health: BP has been good and swelling has been minimal thus far. WOO HOO! Let's keep this up, eh?
Movement: Baby is a little mover in there and I love it. Bob is so desperately trying to feel the baby but he hasn't yet. The baby will either move to a different spot or go back to sleep, lol. Very soon though... I know it!
Belly: It's big. And a little uncomfortable. And my ribs are hurting really bad already. I don't want to complain, but I'll just say... it's going to be a long summer.
I just read in my 21 week post with Brynn that I had the start of a linea negra at this time last pregnancy but so far? Nothing. I do expect to get that back though, considering that I had it with both Carter and Brynn.
Here's the belleh from the front...

And for comparison, here's my 21 week belly with both Carter & Brynn! I would have worn that same shirt, but I don't even think it fits my belly now, lol...
Thoughts? I think my belly is bigger than it was with Brynn at this point. Which just scares me.
Next Appointment: OB & Ultrasound: Friday, May 25th at 23w5d. Thoughts? I think my belly is bigger than it was with Brynn at this point. Which just scares me.

I can't wait to squeeze that belly this weekend! PS I love that shirt!
I honestly have been feeling guilty about how 'not fun' I am anymore. Declan is the one running with her on his shoulders. Declan is the one rough housing. Declan is the one who can swing her around like a crazy person. Etc. Etc. Etc. I looked at my sister the other day and said "well, its a good thing we BOTH aren't pregnant, so she at least has ONE fun parent". It made me feel bad, though. So I get that 'feeling'. I feel like I'm missing out, somehow. I feel a little guilty.
SOOOOO cute!
You look so cute! I just bought that shirt =)
You look so adorable! I love the baby names you've got picked out! My son Wyatt's middle name is Joseph and our "girl" middle name is Mae {same as my grandmothers}. So, apparently we have excellent taste in middle names!!

You look really great, but to me you look smallest with #3! Maybe it's because you're more slim overall? But the belly does look smaller!
