This time it's long legs

I'm officially 19 1/2 weeks, but I'm measuring 21 weeks. The trend is that I've continued to measure a week and a half ahead. I'm hoping that means the baby will come in July.
During the ultrasound the baby was laying down with his legs bent back up over his head. His legs were long enough to go back up over his head! He is weighing in at 14 oz, just 2 oz shy of a pound. He is still in the 97th percentile. No complications and everything looks perfect!

As for me, I'm feeling great now that I got a maternity support belt. I was having bad lower back pain and sciatic nerve pain on my left hip. My sciatic nerve isn't completely normal, but it's much better with the $15 belt. I just wear it underneath my clothes on a daily basis.
I don't really have any food cravings. I did eat my first steak a few weeks ago. I hadn't had a big hunk of meat my whole pregnancy up until about week 18. I still have yet to gobble up a chicken breast. Chicken sounds blah to me. I have been addicted to sushi made with shrimp. Once I realized I can still eat that kind of sushi, I've been buying it about 3 times a week at Reasors.

I feel completely fine.....good enough that I forget I'm pregnant sometimes. I was having a conversation with a friend about the lake and a boat this summer. I told them we need to take their boat out a lot. Then, after a few more sentences, I said, "Wait, NEVERMIND, I totally forgot I'm pregnant and that I'll be huge this summer. I'm not going to be in a swimsuit in public!" Don't get me wrong, if I look in the mirror right now, I'm reminded that I'm pregnant, but if I'm not looking down at my belly, then I forget sometimes! By the way, my belly button hasn't popped out. It just not as deep.

I've been registering for things online as I think of them. I created a registry at Babies R Us and have registered for items like fragrance free baby lotions, diaper rash cream, wipes and then a diaper bag and a play mat toy. I'm finding it less stressful to register for things as I think of them, although there are many items that I need to see in person before I register for them. I can't wait to go register for everything. I have a feeling it'll be a long few hours to make it through the whole store and register for everything!

The baby room is starting to be a collection of random items that we've already purchased. We even have the paint, but Ryan hasn't had time to paint it yet. It's going to be navy blue on the bottom and cream on the top half. There's a chair rail that goes across the middle of the wall that will remain white to match the trim.

My most recent concern is preparing Chief for a new baby. I read in a magazine to play a cd that has baby sounds on it and to also start playing the music that are on some of the baby toys we have. I also might get a cheap baby doll and pretend with that...this is all at the front of my mind due to the recent dog attack we experienced and the other dog owners claim it's because they just had a baby and their dogs are angry. Chief goes in for stitches on Thursday, after any infection he might have, is gone out of his bite wound. It was hard for me to handle his painful accident, the vet emergency hospital, and the blood. Someday our little hellion boy will get in to the same trouble and I'll have to deal with it. I just imagine what Carol Jo had to go through with Ryan and his mischief.
