I didn't do a "face shot" this week because I'm dressed down today and was feeling reeeally tired this morning. But, you can obviously see baby boy is showing hisself this morning!!! :)
PREGNANCY HIGHLIGHTS:
How Far Along: 21 weeks
Size of baby: The website I googled said baby boy is currently the length of a carrot.
Total Weight Gain/Loss: I was right last week. When I went to the doctor they did confirm weight gain of 3 pounds. Let the fun begin! :)
Maternity Clothes: Almost everything is maternity except a few things.
Gender: It's a BOY!!! What can I say, mama's are always right!
Movement: Sunday afternoon I felt my first flutter. I've been feeling them here and there since then. But I'm only feeling them when I'm laying flat on my back!
What I miss: I miss fitting into my regular clothes, sleep, energy and my clear face.
Cravings: I'm finally starting to gain my appetite back. Hints the weight gain. But I haven't started having specific cravings yet.
Symptoms: I'm exhausted but cannot seem to sleep. I finally took something to help me sleep last night and I slept like a baby all night.
Best Moment this week: Seeing our sweet baby boy on screen last Friday. He looked so perfect and we are so blessed to have another healthy baby boy.
On to our weekend....
It was the most beautiful weekend so far this year. We decided it was a *must* to get the babies out of the house on Saturday to do something fun. We decided on a trip to the zoo. Me, Tuff, Mom, Tori, Bree and Ada packed up and headed out. This was Tuff's first time and he LOVED it. I think he loved walking the whole zoo by hisself more than the animals though. He's getting into a very "independent" stage lately. He's wanting to do everything by hisself. So, I let him walk the whole zoo by hisself. (Hints the red face in every picture. I can assure you, he's not sun burnt since we applied and reapplied sunscreen several times throughout the day) Here are some pictures from our day at the zoo...
This was right before we loaded up to go home.

Tuff's favorite part of the whole zoo, the bamboo. He had a mini melt down when it was time to leave the bamboo area. I think we all felt like having a melt down when leaving this area since it was so cool and shaded there.
Taking a break for something cold to drink...
And what good is a post about the zoo without some pictures of the animals...
The anteater
Tigers
Not sure what the correct name is, but I call this a bird. Ha.
Fish. Tuff loves fish.
And the flamingos! :)
We had a wonderful time. It was a nice "first" for Tuff. It was HOT but it was worth it. I definitely couldn't imagine going in the summer though.
Sunday wasn't as hot as Saturday but it was still warm enough for some play time outside (Tuff's favorite). After a trip to the grocery store, lunch and a long 3 hour nap, I bathed Tuff in some sunscreen and we headed outside to play in his new pool.
He wasn't so sure about the pool. He liked to splash from the side, stand in it and throw his balls in and out of it but wasn't going to sit down in it for nothing. He still had fun with it, though.
Posing right before we headed inside for a bath and some dinner.
It was a GREAT weekend. I'm thankful for such a sweet baby boy. Can't wait til his little brother is here so we can do these kind of things with both boys.
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!!!!!
Happy Tuesday!
