Kindermusik

Monday was Anna Riley's first Kindermusik class.  I thought it was odd that it started on Memorial Day but at least it was at 9:30 and not in the afternoon.  I had wanted to sign her up for the class last semester and it just slipped away from me and I forgot.  I wanted us to be able to do it together before the baby comes in October.  Anna Riley loved it!  Once the class had started, she was actually very still and attentive!  We sang songs, did a few dances, learned a few signs, read some books and played with instruments.  She is the oldest in her class since the next age group starts at 17 months so she was taking charge!!  I'm so glad she liked it...can't wait to take her back next Monday!




21 weeks

Symptoms:
My varicose veins in my legs are showing up again.  I had them while pregnant with AR too but they went away afterwards so hopefully these will too.  There is a bad one on my inner thigh! 
Weight gain:
Around 8 lbs.  (down 1 from last week when I was on a eating binge at the beach!)
Cravings:
No real cravings...I just get my mind on something and can't stop thinking about it!  I am wanting a lot of fruit mainly and something sweet.  And I finally got my potato salad fix and I ate a TON of it!  Mom brought it to our house on Memorial day.
Sleep: 
Pretty good...I just have to get up 1 or 2 times for the bathroom.
Maternity clothes:
All my clothes still fit just fine right now.  I did get out my "bigger" shorts that I bought a
after I had AR and they are still a tad big but they work.  I am trying not to buy anymore maternity...I have found several dresses that work great and I can still wear them afterwards. 
Movement:
She has been moving a lot more lately.  Its still hard to feel her on the outside so Riley hasn't felt her yet.  I mainly feel her at night.
