21 weeks plus a few days :)
You know you're pregnant when... you look forward to your medical appointments!
We had another great visit with the midwife yesterday. She was going over all our ultrasound information. PJ is measuring right on track, and all the bits and pieces were good. I had also had a physical and topped the healthy metre! I've gained 13 pounds so far, a bit above the average of 10 pounds, but my midwife was happy with it, especially since I started at such a healthy weight.
I had a few braxton hicks contractions on Sunday, and got a bit worried, but after a phone call to my midwife she said, although it's a bit early for most, it's not uncommon. I have been drinking more water, and listening to my body when it needs a break.
Last night after one of my many bathroom breaks, I crawled back into bed and just as I was getting comfortable PJ decided it was time to practice his ninja moves! To be perfectly honest I stayed awake laying there enjoying the little jabs. About an hour later PJ finally settled down and I fell back asleep.
We have found a used crib for an extremely good price and Sheldon is going to pick it up after work on Thursday. After that purchase I decided I needed some bedding, so I went through over 20 pages of crib sheets on Etsy to find something gender neutral. Finally found one we liked, emailed her, and guess what... it's out of stock! So the search continues...
We are planning a camping trip this weekend, trying to figure out what I will sleep on because our backcountry Thermarests are no longer cozy enough for my growing tummy. I think we have decided to use our blow up mattress and our summer tent, and hope it doesn't rain too much :)

It's exciting to think that there is another little Phieffer waiting to make an entrance. You look great and glad you are feeling good. Don't forget that Sheldon has to carry the heaviest backpack hen you are hiking & camping. Can't wait to see you guys in August. Love Dad & Mom
