Really nothing to mention, but I just wanted to make sure that I log this for future reference.
On occasion I have noticed my gums bleeding when I brush my teeth in the morning and once when I was flossing at night. I went to the dentist about a week before I go pregnant and have another apt this july. So, she can check up on things then.

Week 21
Feeling good this week. However my tailbone has started to hurt when I'm sitting down. I'm not sure what it is yet, but I'm wondering if it has something to do when I fell and hurt it a few winters ago.
Tomorrow I have my first appointment with a chiropractor so I will probably bring that up with him. I've already done a consult and this first appt will be a full evaluation....so, we'll see!
Mom is sending out my babyshower invites this week :) I'm pretty excited. It should be a lot of fun. I know it's really hard to get people together in the summer, but I hope a lot of people can make it!!! Here's the invites she picked out. Mom really thinks that I should probably register at Target, but I don't really want to. But, when Dan is gone the first week of June mom and I will go and see if there are a few things I can find to register for there.
I really think my belly has gotten bigger! I feel it's grown a bunch just in the last couple days. But it could just be me and/or just be that Dan Jr is shifting around.
I also gained my first official pound this week (based on my pre pregnancy weight). That puts be behind the normal amount, but Dan Jr is growing just right so everything seems to be good :)
For my birthday mom gave me some cash to buy something fun. Well, I spent part of it on this!!
For his first holiday :)
We visited another daycare this week - Kindercare. Everyone tells me to stay the heck away from that place, but I really wanted to form my own opinion and/or really see why it would be so horrible. Well, it wasn't the monstrosity I expected, but it defiantly wasn't good. Overall, the center seemed very rundown. there was minimal toys/activities and what was there looks very very worn and dirty. The teachers didn't seem loving and caring. They also seemed dirty and there were just there to do a job and really didn't seem to love what they do. The only good thing I could say was that the director was very nice and she seemed genuine but that's about it. And to top it all off, this center was the most expensive out of all the places we've visited!!

Week 20
Nearly incredible weeks!
On Friday I took the day off and we went to the OB to get a scan and measurements of the baby and find out the sex :)
First, the baby looks healthy. No abnormalities were found and he's measuring right in the 50% 'tile.
Second, we are having a boy!!!!!! I'm so excited :)
It took a while to see the sex b/c he was crouched up like a thanksgiving turkey and his feet were over this parts. The doc tried to shake him and had me do a few laps around the place but he wasn't moving enough (Oh, and he's breech right now too) to see, so he had to do the vaginal ultrasound. I wasn't looking forward to that b/c my paps are painful - but I wasn't going to let that stop me - however, this didn't hurt at all!!
It was so incredible to see him moving :) Dan even got a couple of movie we can share. My favorite part was when we were looking straight on to his face and his mouth was open and he was moving is tongue around.
We haven't told anyone the sex yet. We are however, sending both our parents and my grandparents a gender announcement egg. They should be receiving it in a couple days :)
The second thing that happened (just today actually) is we made a first attempt at registering It seems a bit early to do this, but I'm glad I'm giving myself time to really thing about what's out there and do research. It's so overwhelming! We were out for 5 hours today and if you are going by the "must have" lists people make, we are nowhere near what we need. I think we are close though..might just need to up the quantity of blankets and stuff we picked out.
The stores try to tell you need to register for 5 items per number of guests you are inviting. Well, at least for my family, that is crazy. I've never seen anyone probably buy more than 2 items.
I wish I had a better story to tell here, but my brain hurts so I think I'll stop.

Quickening?
Maybe, but I'm not fully convinced.
If so, I left my first movement on Sunday, May 5th (week 18) after sitting down and taking a break in swing dance class. The feeling since then has been getting more frequent, but I'm not so sure. I guess it's going to take an actual kick to convince met.

Today's Craving (Week 20)
EVERYTHING! I'm super hungry the last few days. If I literally had enough room in my stomach I could have cleared off my Tour of Italy plate at Olive Garden yesterday.

19 weeks
Some new symptoms this week - which seem to make more sense after I met with my midwife and she told me this is the time of the pregnancy where my blood volume really starts to increase.
- More spider veins started to pop up. I have seem them on my ankles for a while...but just this week they starts to pop up on my chest and rib cage. It's not the best thing, but I'll take those over varicose veins or stretch marks!
- Holly bloody noes batman! It's not actually dripping but ever since sunday every time I blow my noes the kleenx if fully red!

weeks 16-18
Week 16 - We went to Phoenix to visit Melissa and her family :)
 |
| Sangria and lemon olive oil cupcake |
 |
| In front of the belly tree! |
Week 17 - I competed in Swing Dance America. I took 2nd place in the newcomer division! I didn't social dance much, I left successful.
Dan did a lot of progress on the baby's room too - he finished caulking the walls and pulled out the carpet
 |
| Me and my partner competing in finals |
Week 18 - Dan, mom, and I went to a just between friends baby and maternity resale event. I was expecting the worse but it actually ended up being really great - and a first hit of reality of how quickly that stuff adds up!
We bough a bassinet, some sort of table top vibrating seat thing (Sarah said we HAD to have one), a breast pump (just need to buy about $40 worth of stuff), 2 baby carriers, a pack of receiving blanks, and a pair of froggy slippers :). It all cost about $200 - which is a lot of money, but if we went the store, the breast pump alone would have been more than that....yikes.
I'm still in my "normal clothes" and my weight has been about the same. However, my cravings have increased...just in general...for eating. I can't seem to eat enough. I'm not sure if I should indulge in the extra calories b/c maybe I need them or should I continue to be careful.
