Weekly Survey
How far along? 21 weeks 4 days according to the due date based off of my last period; 21 weeks 5 days based off the baby's measurements at our ultrasound last week.
Maternity clothes? Pants yes, shirts yes and no, workout clothes no, all my clothes seem to be getting tight in general
Bajunga (aka Chest) Measurement: still barely squeezing into a 34DD
Noticeable Belly Bump? It's definitely getting closer and closer.
Cravings: Caesar salad still, and Havarti cheese, Johnny's tacos still and mexican food in general (although I'm not sure if this is a pregnancy craving, or just a missing southern california craving)
Food Aversions: Still squash and red potatoes
Sleep: Up at least once a night to pee. Sleeping well, but I need at least 9 to 10 hours of sleep a night to feel rested which is crazy.
Best Moment This Week: Handing out candy to all the little trick or treaters and thinking this time next year we'll have one of our own to get dressed up.
Most Absurd Pregnancy Comment This Week: Paul and I were talking about what to have for dinner and he suggested chili, but then said, I guess we have to have cornbread with it for you and I said "I don't need cornbread, I'd rather have a tortilla and put the chili in it and make a burrito".
Signs of Life: Maybe I have felt a tiny bit of movement....but no noticeable "whoa that baby just kicked" moments. Other 20ish weekers in my prenatal yoga class have been talking about feeling the baby move for the first time and I'm thinking, this baby better get a move on, geesh!
Labor Signs: No.
Belly Button In or Out? In
What I Miss: Being able to gulp water without throwing it up afterwards, not even gulp really. I'd just like to be able to take a drink of water in the morning when I wake up without throwing it up 45 seconds later. If I drink water before I eat anything it inevitably comes back up. Fun! I also miss having clear skin; I look like a teenager! It's not that bad, but my face is definitely broken out and I am so not used to dealing with that anymore.
What I Am Looking Forward To: Our appointment next week when I'll be able to confirm that this baby is still alive and kicking (except not kicking, because if it was kicking I would know that it is alive. Darnit baby, just kick already!)
Number of Times I said "Do you think I just killed the baby?": I said to Paul "I hope the baby is still alive" yesterday....it's hard with the no movement!
Weekly Wisdom: Don't get pregnant during the swine flu pandemic, it makes decisions about vaccines hard!
Milestones: Hitting the halfway mark of the pregnancy, getting the dining room light hung, getting the entry way light installed (I had to do some creative installation here, I am such the handy woman), picking a color and painting the living room wall.

Real Fall Walks
One of the things I love most about living in this region of the country is Fall. Being the native Californian I am, I didn't have any idea what Real Fall was really like until I moved here. This year I have really been able to soak up and appreciate all the colors with daily walks. "They" say walking is one of the best things you can do while pregnant, and Lola says walking IS the best thing to do EVER, so, I take both Lola and the baby for a walk everyday. We only walk through our neighborhood, but we go about a mile, and we get to enjoy all the colors and the clear crisp air. I'm really thankful that I take the time to walk everyday and enjoy the season, because I think it's something that people easily forget about or don't notice too much. I've been able to watch the trees go from green and lush, to bright yellow, to bright red, to nothing at all. That's the part that's hard; knowing they will be bare for the next 26 months. I kid, I kid. They will only be bare for the next five months, but during month four and five, it sure feels like month 26. By then I should have a baby distracting me so hopefully the bareness won't seem so long. Here are some pictures I took around our neighborhood.
