Pregnancy Week 21 Update

Happy Memorial Day!  This weekend disappeared before I knew it, but it was a good one!  We celebrated a wedding with family friends, celebrated my golden birthday, and enjoyed time with friends and family.  This weekend also marked the end of the 21st week of this pregnancy.

After finding out we were having a girl, I ordered the quilt I first took a liking to when we found out we were expecting.  It arrived on Tuesday, and I couldn't wait to pick out paint colors once it arrived.  We settled on our nursery colors, and thanks to Memorial Day sales at Home Depot, the paint for the nursery has been purchased.

I'm excited to get to work on the nursery, but we still have some demo work to do first.  This coming week, we are having the attic insulated better.  Hopefully, that will help with some of our temperature regulation issues we have on the top floor.  Andrew also has to work on tearing out the rest of the closet.  Once the closet is done being cleaned out, we will go through and patch everything up and prepare the room to paint.  Other than the quilt, I haven't purchased anything for the nursery. 

During the early part of the week, little miss was pretty quiet.  However, over this past weekend, she has been quite active.  I mostly notice her moving around at night.  Last night, Andrew was actually able to feel slight movements.  No big kicking going on yet, but I can certainly tell she is on the move!  Along with the increased movement this week, my bump seems to be quickly expanding.  

 This pregnancy seems to be moving right along now!  We still have quite a long list of projects for the summer, and I know the summer is going to be here and gone before we know it.  This week, I'm looking forward to our meeting with our doula.  I'm also going to do some shopping for a new pair of shoes and a few pairs of pants.  I started off week 21 with swelling feet and ankles.  A few days this past week, I wasn't sure I was going to be able to get my shoes on.  I didn't think the swelling was supposed to start until the third trimester.
