21 Weeks- Q1-13 is as long as a banana!

Well, after the 20 week point the baby is no longer compared to a fruit in terms of size.  Now, they compare the baby to a fruit in terms of length.  Either way- baby is as long as a banana!




















Here is a pic of Q1-13's foot!  :)
Here is the long strip of photos they gave us.  We were both a little disappointed with the quality.  We thought we would get to see more distinct features, but I guess that will be the ultrasound we have in the 3rd trimester.  They did put the images on a disc, which was nice. 
Matt did a lot of work on the basement this weekend, built the shelves for Q1-13's closet, andddddddddddd put together the crib!!!!!  :)  :)  I'm so excited!  It's a 4 in one crib (it will turn into a daybed later, and a headboard eventually as the baby gets older).  I'll post pics after we announce the gender.  We are finalizing details for the theme for Q1-13's room.

Matt had an exciting weekend, while I had a restful weekend (but not the good kind of restful).  I came down with a horrible cold rather quickly late Thursday night (stress induced, no doubt).  I barely slept Thursday night as my throat was on fire, and I woke up Friday feeling completely miserable.  Friday was awful, but I came home after cross and fell asleep on the couch around 6:30.  Other than getting up for dinner, I was in bed between the hours of 8 pm and 7 am the next morning.  After the cross country meet, I took a 3 hour nap, ate dinner, then went back to bed for a total of 15 hours of sleep. Sunday, after sleeping in, I laid around all day grading and barely working.  I'm happy to say all the sleep paid off though!  By Sunday night, I felt like a new person.  Although I was horribly congested today at school, I made it through Monday with much energy.  And that is how you beat a cold without Nyquil/Dayquil- you sleep for over 25 hours!


Tonight we practiced filling the cupcakes for the Gender Reveal Party on Saturday!  I am SOOO excited to reveal the gender of Q1-13 to our closest family and friends.  My parents and brother are coming in to town, as are Matt's mother and brother.  Plus, both of our sisters are Skyping in for it- one from 3 hours behind us, the other from 6 hours ahead.

Q1-13, everyone wants to know if you are a boy or a girl!    :)
