Feelin' stronger everyday...

About 21 weeks, and it's downhill from here...over 1/2way through this journey with our next one starting this fall. It's been over 2 weeks since I've gotten morning sickness, which is a relief! I have some days where my energy levels are high too, even though some days/afternoons I'm still exhausted. I'm sleeping with a pillow between my knees and one behind my back, on my side as much as possible, keep waking up on my back at times though, and I guess I'm not too big for laying on my back to be really uncomfortable yet. She has been moving around like crazy, my doc said that it was early for me to be feeling her so much so not to expect it everyday, but....last night I could feel her on the outside w/ my hand, so hopefully Dave will be able to feel her soon! I still haven't had any weird cravings, but I have been craving watermelon (haven't gotten any good ones yet b/c they aren't in season), and craving fruit in general, and I've made some smoothies and maybe a milkshake or two. ;)
We go back to the doctor May 4th for another ultrasound to hopefully wrap up all of the measurements of the baby.
I've gotten 2 more boxes of maternity clothes from a neighbor's friend. There were some things in there that will work for me. Very cool that I haven't really had to buy any maternity clothing yet, but definitely already needing to wear it. It does feel good, b/c most people are telling me that I look good for being 5 months along and barely look pregnant. My hips, butt, and thighs are definitely bigger (they were big to start with), but my lower belly is where I'm poking out the most. My uterus is up to my belly button and Marlee is the size of a cantaloupe.
We are officially taking a "babymoon" in June with Jonathan (brother-in-law) and April (his wife) to the beach. We are excited b/c we've never taken a vacay w/ just them.
It also looks like both showers (Centre and Nashville) may be in August, cutting it close, but that will give us plenty of time to get the house ready. Can't believe our house is going to be babyland soon. Dave has finished updating the upstairs bathrooms (they look great!) and next we'll tile the laundry room/bathroom. But in the meantime we need to plant our garden. So excited for fresh fruit and veggies this summer!
