Over Half Way There!

So I'm officially 21 weeks. I thought I would do a "half time" progress report just for memory's sake. 
Here is the little guy as of this morning:
This pregnancy is much like this first! No pregnancy sickness, symptoms, or problems. Last time my wrist started hurting around 15 weeks and lasted till the end of the pregnancy. Not this time!! Thankfully! The biggest difference I have noticed is the dreams I have been having. They are crazy vivid and I can usually remember them the next morning.  

Body-wise there is such a difference in the expanding process this time around. With Elly K, I didn't even think about wearing maternity clothes till 21/22 weeks. WOW....that is totally not even an option this time! I had to pull out the prego jeans way earlier (Like 15-16 weeks). The only problem with my old jeans.....I am about 10 pounds less time around (thanks to losing a good amount of weight prior to getting pregnant) and those jeans feel HUGE!  I feel like I am tugging and pulling them up all the time. And forget wearing them twice before a wash! They have to be wash and dried after each wearing (I have to get them to shrink back up). I would buy some more, but finding my size with a long inseam online is impossible! There must be a ton of pregos right now. HA! Nevertheless, I am still rocking all my normal tops plus a few maternity tops just because they are LONG and comfy. You win some and you lose some. 

Just like my first pregnancy, I really don't have a lot of food cravings. I still enjoy fresh and frozen fruits (I might have eaten 3 peaches last night....just saying). And just like last time, when I think about something good to eat, I want it right then. For example, yesterday afternoon I was headed home. I saw a car tag that had "BTL" on it. Of course my mind when straight to BLT and the rest is history! I stopped at the Publix on the the way home to get bacon. Let me say, that BLT was amazing:
Like "inhaled it" amazing:
I have been feeling this baby kick for a few weeks now. It was around the end of 18 weeks, I felt him moving around for the first time. Just like EK, he is active more in the afternoon and evening than in the mornings.

As far as EK is concerned, she has no clue what is going on. She might be in a few more months but I'm not really worried about it. I think she will be just fine when little brother gets here. She loves her babies (that's a post all on its own) so we are getting her use to patting and hugging them.
 That's about all I can think of right now. I am so thankfully for nice pregnancies and hopefully this little guy will be just as sweet as his older sister!
