What's new at 21 weeks?

My hunger has been insatiable over the last week! I am hungry all the time and trying my best to eat healthy snacks like fruits and veggies. Baby must be having a growth spurt right around now. 

I have been reading about pregnancy and baby almost every day. I've read about 5 books so far and have a few others I reference each week, but am not reading cover to cover. My friend Megan let me borrow quite a few books to read, so I plan to keep reading as much as I can before he gets here. The Internet is also a great resource and I was researching the safety of vaccines last week. Education is powerful! So are other moms! I have been reaching out to the few Mommy friends that I have (Megan, Tina, and Sue) to pick their brains and hopefully create a support system. They are my Momtorage! We will have to stick together- being a mom is not easy business! 

Michelle also came with me over the last weekend to buy some maternity clothes. We found a couple of things at Old Navy, but I really need to start looking for some pants. It is tough to find long and cute maternity pants. Some of the clothes are frumpy and that's not the look I'm going for during this pregnancy.  :)

Last week I interviewed a pediatrician, Dr. Litchtsinn from Scottsdale Children's Group and really liked the office and the doctor. They got me in right away, gave me a tour, and answered all of my questions. I will be interviewing 3 doctors based on my Momtorage, OB doc, and Aunt Paula's recommendations. I hadn't really thought about the circumcision until it was brought up at the interview. I think he will have it done after his birth while still in the hospital as long as he's healthy- I'm confident he will be!
