Baby Belly Update Week 21...


Okay, okay...so it's been a while. A month, perhaps. I've been busy traveling for work and actually working. I have been in Florida and Indiana and will be in Michigan next week. We have also not yet replaced our camera, and I didn't want to make a post without giving you something to look at. Today we went in for another ultrasound and got to see Clinton again. He is something else....definitely a mover and a shaker. He spent a lot of time with his fist in his mouth, so it's apparent one gene has passed from both of us....a big mouth.
I'm continuing to get bigger. I'm a little over 5 months and have put on 12 pounds since prepregnancy. I'm handling it a little more gracefully than the last time I put on 12 pounds! :-) I'm actually not even back up to my college weight yet--so that tells you something about how healthy I was then. I have been craving lots of cheeseburgers. I think it's the texture of the ground beef. There is something about whole pieces of meat that is difficult for me right now. I also love fudge pops (the healthy kind made with Splenda) and Snickers (but those don't come in a diet version). I work very hard to give Clinton all the whole grains and vegetables we both need.
Clinton has been doing lots of moving. I feel him dancing around in there every time I lay down to rest or sit down to my computer. He presses his little feet pretty hard on my stomach to stretch out his little legs, so you can actually see it from the outside now. Rodney has started reading him books at night, because his hearing is now developed. His favorite is The Three Little Javelinas, a very Southwest version of the The Three Little Pigs. If anyone sees any great cowboy children's books, please let us know....we want lots of books for Clinton's room!
Our nursery is coming together. We've got the twin bed put together with new mattresses and bedding. We're just waiting on mother to finish the crib stuff and then we have to paint the room. I have picked out a shade of green called Pacific Pines that I think will just look really good and flow with the rest of the house. We'll post pictures AS SOON AS WE HAVE A CAMERA!
In the posted picture you'll see Clinton upside down in the first one, his head in the second one and him sucking his fist in the third one.
Hope everyone is doing well! We miss you all. Much love--Courtney
