21 weeks

This week has been stressful because my dad had a minor heart attack Thursday morning. He had a completely blocked artery. His heart has minor damage, but hopefully with some rest, it can heal. I'm not sure how that all works. We have been worried about him, and we hope he can recover quickly and be strong and healthy soon. Unfortunately, they won't be able to come visit us this week for Thanksgiving which we were looking forward to, but it's more important that he rests. He's supposed to be in the hospital until tomorrow morning.

Here's my 21 week picture from Friday...
I don't know why there's a white spot under my arm. That wasn't there in real life. It's probably my bra showing through in the flash. I apologize. Brock asked me why I always put my hand on my belly in my pictures. Apparently he didn't read the post when I explained that if I don't do it, in some clothes, I look a little blobbish in the front because all the curves kind of run together, so I just do it every time now. I'm still feeling pretty good. I'm trying to eat healthier to keep my body functioning well in the tummy area, if that makes sense. I still love feeling the baby move, and he's getting stronger and stronger. I realize that a lot of you have been pregnant before, some multiple times, so you probably don't care too much about my weekly updates. First of all, you must keep in mind that this blog is sort of a family journal for us. However, the main reason for the frequent updates is that we live in Kentucky, my parents live in Arkansas, and Brock's parents live in Utah. Brock and I are both the oldest children in our families and the only ones married; therefore, our baby Pierce will be the first grandchild on either side. We figure all the soon-to-be grandparents might like to see his (and my) growth. With that said, here is the bedding we chose for the baby crib.
Also, Brock's dad was so excited to get Pierce some cute little baby shoes, and here's what he chose. I love them!
