Baby #1 - 21 Weeks Bumpdate

I officially can't see my toes when looking straight down.

STATS:
How far along are you: 21 Weeks
Total weight gain this week: +2 lbs, I talked to a nurse on the phone this week - I'm over the recommended gain so far in pregnancy by a couple pounds...So a walking I went!
How big is baby: Size of a baby bok choy or endive.
Maternity clothes: YES!  I got my first pair of shorts.  For heavens sakes its wonderful.  I also tried on some maternity shirts - the ones with the bunched up sides that I stated I hated, but I'm afraid I'll be stalking up on those soon.  Any suggestions on where to get maternity clothing to survive a hot/humid summer would be greatly appreciated!
Stretch marks: No
Sleep:  Sleeping perfectly fine!  Baby did wake me up one day moving around because I was sleeping on my tummy.  Sorry little man.
Best moment this week: Our complex pool opened up!  I took a dip and I'm afraid that will be such a luxury this summer.  I'm excited to start doing some water aerobics.  Also, the swimsuit I bought at a thrift store in Hawaii last October (I loved that it was loose and not skin tight, only to find out later that the tag stated maternity on it.  That was a good laugh since I was pregnant back then) totally fits the baby belly - not so much the chest though.
We found out that another wife out here is pregnant also!  It was fun to chat pregnancies for a bit.  She'll also be a FTM so we both don't know what we're doing.  
Miss anything: Having long hair - I've been looking at pictures from the beginning of January and wish I wouldn't have chopped it.  I thought this the day I found out I was pregnant too - I didn't want to have short hair for some weird reason when I delivered.  Emotions.  So annoying.
Movement: Yes :) I was able to feel an actual kick on the outside when I rested my hand on the side of my belly!  
Food cravings: No
Anything making you queasy or sick:  No
Gender: Boy
Labor signs: No
Symptoms: I had tingly toes in my right side and then later on in the evening tingling in my left thigh.  I went walking to try to help but that didn't seem to do much.  I elevated my feet while I worked and it eventually went away.
I noticed some swelling feet when I wore sandals.  I also asked Jade if my legs looked chubby - of course he said no, but I believe I've experienced some swelling in my legs with this hot/humid weather.
Belly is G R O W I N G.  This week I got up from my chair and found my legs bumped my belly when getting up... Its starting to get in the way and I know its only growing bigger everyday!
Belly button in/out: In
Wedding rings on/off: On
Happy or moody: EMOTIONAL
Looking forward to: Hearing baby's heart beat at our next appointment.  After I felt a kick on the outside, it seemed like a couple days until I felt much movement again.  That made my FTM mind wonder and worry.  I might end up getting a doppler for my stress sake.
