Baby and Wedding Countdown

We are officially 3 weeks away from the wedding!  D pointed out today that I've been chanelling my prewedding jitters to all the planning needed to get the wedding under way.  The problem is I'm starting to run out of things that need further attention!  My parents are going to be ensuring that the cupcakes make it to the festival, and my professional photography is perfectly happy not getting her check until the day of the wedding.  We've got a shopping trip planned to get our shoes and gifts for the event coordinator and another family member, and we're also getting the marriage license next week.  Hotel arrangements are made, and I'm sending the festival the final ticket count next week so we can go ahead and pay for them.

So yeah, there's enough to do to keep me occupied for a week probably, especially since D is now in wedding mode and with me to get everything done ASAP.  I'll probably still be paranoid that I'll forget to plan something or make sure I bring something important to the wedding, like the cake topper or his wedding ring.  At least I have a productive outlet for the usual prewedding stress.  I'll continue to make lists and insist we get things done.  I'll probably not be able to relax until the wedding is actually over.

Baby Update
21 weeks 4 days

Baby has definately gotten more active.  Last night, he woke me up at 3am and kept moving around for 2 hours straight.  I don't know if he was doing gymnastics or just had the hiccups, but I couldn't get back to sleep no matter what I did.  When I conceded defeat at 5am and got up, he stopped moving.  He did wake up later in the evening however to kick the cat repeatedly (he had decided the baby bump made a comfortable cat bed).  The cat gave my belly the wtf/death glare, but he refused to move.  I look forward to future interactions between the kitty and the baby bump.

I've been eating ravenously!  I swear that my body has decided to put me on the hobbit eating schedule.  I can eat a good sized meal and then be ravenously hungry again 2 hours later.  I'm easily eating 2 breakfasts, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner, supper, and desert.  Either baby is going through a monster growth spurt, or this is going to be the norm for the next 4 months.  I hope it doesn't stay this bad through breastfeeding and I can get away with only having to add one extra meal instead of 3!

Despite the increase in food intake, I've been feeling a bit off this evening.  I blame the lack of sleep, but I have that awful pre-fever feeling.  It doesn't bode well for tomorrow.  Thankfully, Dr. Google says that a fever at this point won't be harmful to baby unless it's 103 or higher or if it lasts a long while.  Hopefully I can sweat it out tonight and tomorrow so I can be up and about for wedding planning next week.
