21 Weeks

So, it has been a month since my last profile picture. In that time I have been to the doctor again and heard Georgia's heartbeat again. I also got my glucola for my next appointment when I'll have a glucose test. In even better news, Shawn has felt Georgia moving and is very excited about that. He didn't like to admit it, but he was jealous that I could feel her and he couldn't. Now he loves to keep his hand on my tummy to see if anything happens. She is moving around a lot more now, or at least I feel her a lot more. Also, she seems to not be a morning person, kinda like me. She moves around more in the afternoon and at night. So far, she isn't big enough to keep me awake at night with movements, so we'll have to see how that progresses.

In other, non-baby related news, flowers and plants are starting to look good. The irises have long since bloomed, but other things are happening now too.

This is an ornamental pepper plant we got at the plant sale the Botanical Garden has each year. I had seen them in the Botanical Garden before and had wanted some, so I was excited that they went on sale this year. They all started out yellow, but have slowly started changing colors.



Last year we made a bigger "garden" in the back yard for the veggies, but then the plants just didn't do anything. So, we went smaller this year with just one tomato plant. And to change things up we put it in a planter and stuck it in the front yard. It looks really good and already has lots of little tomatos on it.



Next, because I am a Tiger, I got tiger lilies a long time ago. They have spread and now I have several. They are really pretty and the only orange flower I have had so far. I planted some orange calla lillies, but they haven't bloomed yet, so we'll see how they do.



So, the end of May means the end of AWANAs at church. Since AWANAs will start shortly before my due date in the fall, I will not be returning for the forseeable future. Here is a picture of me and my sister-in-law after the awards ceremony.



Before going to church that night I took my profile picture for week 21. As you can see, I am bigger.



In other news, Shawn has looked around on the internet at various ultrasound pictures and has decided that Georgia is cuter than all the other babies he has seen. I never really thought that babies looked that different on ultrasound pictures until I saw a few more recently, and you can really tell a difference in some babies. But of course, I think that Georgia will be amazingly adorable. I can't wait to see what she will look like, and what color hair she will have. The funny thing is, Shawn and I look so different from each other there is no telling what our babies will look like. I mean really, I am pasty white with dark blond hair and blue eyes. He is really dark skinned with black hair and brown eyes. I'm just hoping that Georgia will be able to go outside for more than five minutes without getting sunburned. We shall see in the fall what she will look like.
