Random thoughts of a pregnant girl

Just a little info to document about pregnancy number two. It is so hard for me to compare this pregnancy with Dallen's because not only was it 3 years ago, but the gender is different and so is the pregnancy. At 21 weeks here are some random stats:
-8.5 pounds gained @ 21 weeks
-with most of my clothes starting to not fit, my favorite outfit now: my new maternity jeans from Forever 21!! Best $15 I ever spent :)
-I am carrying much lower than the first time so I can conceal the bump a little better, but the comfort is totally different
-cravings: fresh produce and healthy foods with the exception of pancakes!! With Dallen my only craving was IN-N-OUT, very different this time I want strawberries, apples, salad and health nut stuff (totally not my junk food self). And I can't get enough ICE water!!
-my belly button stretched out way faster this time around. Dallen loves to see my belly button stretching and say "your belly's getting bigger"
-my horomones are making me way crazier this time, it must be the female thing
-I'm pretty sure my skin is just as bad if not worse than it was with Dallen, so thankful for make-up!!
-preparation progress: the nesting instinct is kicking in strong!! I am cleaning all the time already and have plans to have all my house projects done by Dallen's 3rd birthday. My mother in law was so quick to get her quilt done and I am having way too much fun picking up outfits here and there on clearance and using coupons :) Check out the loot:I know these are just the ramblings of a pregnant woman, but I thought I should document them for myself. More belly pics coming soon.

You are such a cute little Mommy! I love this post. Fun facts and information! Maybe I better take you out for donuts when I get there though!

I was WAY crazier with my hormones when I was pregnant with Emilia vs. Simon. Sperry you have to go through that but nice to know I wasn't the only one. Isn't shopping for a girl dangerous? :). Can't wait to see what she looks like, she will be a beauty like her mommy.

Oh my heavens, what I wouldn't give to be as tiny as you!!! I have probably gained 10 lbs in 18 weeks. Oops! But hey, it's my first and I'm learning right? I love that you crave such yummy, healthy foods. My cravings change all the time. 1st trimester it was all about the fresh fruits. YUM! But now? Now all I want is cheese! How weird is that? Cheese crackers, cheese sticks, cottage cheese, cream cheese. I love cheese! Haha! I wonder what all this means? Wouldn't that be so fun if we were both having girls? We'll know soon enough. :)

You are so adorable! After we left your house I was telling Matt there is no way you were pregnant you are just so little!!! I felt huge none the less :) Funny you want pancakes because every once in a while all I want is a really fluffy waffle! I'm in LOVE with baby girl's dresses!
