*Navalgazing* Reflections at 21 (+1) Weeks Pregnant

Not too many changes this week, other than that Sprout seems to have been especially active.  I can feel her "kicking" on my left side at various points throughout the day and every once in a while I feel what I can only imagine is her rolling around deeper inside my stomach.  (It's a very odd sensation.) 

It's been quite hot again, so I've been somewhat uncomfortable.  My legs and feet continue to feel swollen by the end of the day (though they don't really look it) and I think I'm going to try wearing running shoes rather than my Birkenstocks and see if that helps at all. 

I picked up a bunch of sleepers and onesies and just a few outfits from a woman who was selling them on Craigslist.  I got them for a very good price and she even said that she'd let me know when she was ready to sell her little girl's summer clothing.  Her baby was born this past January so I figure it's a fairly safe bet sizing-wise.  My sister also gave us a bag of girly things she's picked up from Goodwill.  We're building a wardrobe!  We'll have to figure out how we're going to share the dresser.  It kind of makes me regret getting the smaller dresser when building the nursery, but I'm sure we'll make due. 


We've started giving some thought to what we're going to need for this little one's arrival.  Though we plan on having her co-sleep with us for the first several months, we will need a second crib and crib mattress (The Bean moves around so much at night that I can't imagine putting him in a bed anytime soon).  The need for a double stroller is up in the air.  And if we do get one, there's the question of which one to get.  Any imput from other moms/dads out there is welcome!  Beyond those two bigger items, there doesn't seem to be anything essential.  Are we forgetting anything obvious?
