She's stubborn, just like her momma!
Over halfway there! YAY! I get pregnancy updates emailed to me every week and this one said that little Lyla is now about three quarters of a pound and 11 inches long! I can definitely tell! She is getting bigger in there! It's funny, I can feel mushy spots on my belly (where she's not) and then I'll feel hard spots on my belly (where some part of her little body is)! It's pretty cool. Rhett has felt that too. He's also felt her kick too, he just didn't know it. He had his had on my belly when I knew she was kicking and she kicked him and he said "I think I felt it" and I said "Well, yeah you did, that's not gas"! But it's so cute, I don't think she likes to be poked because when I know she's in a certain place I'll poke to feel her and she'll move away. She's stubborn. Like me. Uh-oh, watch out Baby Rhett! Anywho, in the weekly update it also said that I may start to experience very mild contractions (my uterus just practicing for labor apparently) and that they are "a far cry from the contractions you will experience during labor". Oh boy, I just loved reading that! =) However, I have yet to feel any sort of mild contractions, at least I think I haven't. All is well with me and little Lyla. My appetite has increased, I downed an entire hamburger and fries today for lunch at Applebees, and I had room for more...that never happens to me. So, here's a pic of me at 21 weeks. And I also included a front view of my belly because now you can actually tell I'm pregnant from the front! I have another doctor's appointment Monday, so I might update after that!

You're so cute Heather! You're belly is just precious :o)
Ya know, I never had any Braxton-Hicks contractions (fake ones). Not a single one. Let me tell you, I know you are pretty far off from actual labor, but if you want an epidural, ask waaaay in advance b/c I didn't ask in time. That was the world's worst pain. I had no pain meds at al and I literally thought "well, this is it, I'm dying." I don't wanna scare ya, just want you to ask soon enough :o)
You are seriously precious! I love the front view! You can definitely see she is getting big in there. I cant wait to be home with you and little Lyla so soon!!! :)
you are so adorable heather. i cant wait to see you in just a few weeks, you and lyla will be even bigger! I just love it! you are just so skinny and then you have that little belly, you look so fabulous! anyway, i had early contractions but the only way i knew was because it would get tight but there was no pain, and yes, the real ones really hurt =)
let me know if you need ANYTHING!
