My overall goal is to make healthy choices for myself and Baby Rolex.
Last week, I had two mini-goals:
1. Create a balanced diet and stick to it.
2. Embrace my pregnant body.
This has been a good week for me. I sharply cut my intake of cookies; I only had four Girl Scout Cookies this week...rather than four boxes. I also became more aware of what I was eating.
I'm still working on embracing my pregnant body. I picked out a few super-cute maternity items and have been sporting them proudly this week. My little man has been moving more and more lately; my vanity seems to melt away when I can feel him.
This week, my goal is to take advantage of the good weather and walk at least three times after work.
Now for a Baby Rolex update!
How I'm feeling: Fabulous! First trimester fatigue is gone and I'm feeling like myself again!
How far along: 21 Weeks
Size of Baby Rolex: approximately 12-16 oz. and 10.5 inches
Total Weight Gain: 10 pounds
Maternity clothes: Ordered a few new tops and some full-paneled jeans and slacks.
Gender: Boy!
Movement: He's rockin' and rollin'! I feel him every day!
What I miss: Red wine! Oh my pinot noir...how I miss you! I have chosen to abstain completely during pregnancy.
Cravings: Broccoli! Baby Rolex is a broccoli monster!
Symptoms: None! Just weight gain! Other than that, I'm feeling great!
Best moments this week: Waking up on Saturday morning to baby Rolex's kicks and punches...he was tired of sleeping-in!
Looking forward to: Putting together our baby furniture this week! We ordered the crib, dresser and side-table (for when we turn his crib into a "big boy" bed).

Good girl Alex....I KNOW you love your wine!!!Yay! I get to see BABY ROLEX tonight!!!! IT'S BUNCO TIME BABY!!! ;0)
YAY for doing well with your goals this week.
Wow, 21 weeks already, how exciting. How awesome that baby Rolex loves broccoli, that means more broccoli for you :).
Looking forward to some belly pictures and seeing the finished product with the nursery. Such an exciting time
Oh, I wanted to tell you... there's this girl who has a blog but she also has an affordable pregnancy workout DVD. She separates the workouts by trimester. I'm on the second trimester now and it's the perfect mix of keeping me active and toned but not overexerting myself. Her name is Lyndsey Brinn (not sure if that is how you spell her first name but it will come up in a google search) I got my DVD at Target for under $20.
my heart is melting for these cute baby and mummy pictures :).
I am so happy you managed to keep on top of your mini goals.
