21 Weeks and a pic

Here is my pic that I promised.  Finally.  Sorry about that.  I'll try to get better ones when B gets home next weekend.

Anyway, I'm 21 weeks today.
Baby:
* is about 7.5-10.5" long (about the length of the carrot says BabyCenter.com)
* is about .75 lbs (12.25 oz)
* is kicking up a storm.  He's getting close to my ribs already.  I'm already seeing a pattern of kicking all night and resting most of the day.  (preparing me).  I still haven't felt him on the outside but they are definitely stronger kicks and I expect B should be able to feel them soon!
* has eyebrows and eyelids now, but he still can't see.
* gets a better sense of touch this week. Soon I will get to poke him back and he will feel it.

I'm:
* getting round ligament pains
* enjoying some hellish heartburn
* tired.  The fatigue is back full power.
* noticeably pregnant.  Someone cautiously asked me the other day.
* getting a bit short of breath at times.  I'm assuming I'm getting a bit of pressure on my diaphragm now.

Work is going great.  I'm doing some kick ass training.  It is a lot of information in a short period of time, but I'm enjoying it.  I can't explain how excited I am to have this job.  The people are friendly, helpful, and extremely knowledgeable.  I do my mission fit interviews this coming week so hopefully I should know which office/team I will be working on in the next two weeks.  I'll get a mentor to help me focus my training and prep to go on the client side to work.

Mika is doing really really well with some loose leash training.  Although strangely enough she barked aggressively at a dog across the street today.  Something I don't think I've ever seen her do.  Now the other dog started barking first, but I've just never seen her act that way.  She lunged a couple times and I had to hold her collar to get her calm.  She didn't pull like she does when she sees a bunny or deer, but it just caught  me off guard.  We might have to start going to the dog park and training a bit in there off leash with tons of distractions to get her to start paying attention to me and B more during distractions.    On a good note, she has been home alone for long hours without getting into anything.  She pretty frequently gets something or other while we are gone.  Something she doesn't do when we are home.  She has been going to campbowwow twice a week to run some energy out of her.  She will probably go less when B is back.

B is in Europe visiting family.  I'm sad I didn't get to go, but I think he is enjoying himself.  I'm glad he got to go though.  I can't wait to hear all about it!  We don't mess with international call fees.  We've been emailing, and I've gotten a few details, but can't wait to sit around and hear about it in detail.  (oh and I hear that I'm getting swiss chocolate!)
