21 Weeks

How Far Along: 21 weeks

Food Comparison: Carrot 

Weight Gain: 14 lbs.

Maternity Clothes: Most definitely. I don't think I have anything non-maternity that fits me now except for athletic shorts and sweat pants. 

Sleep: I'm sleeping really well right now. I rarely wake up in the night and if I do, it doesn't take me too long to get back to sleep. 

Best Moment of this week: Going through some of Peter's baby clothes and getting really excited to get to use them again. 

Miss Anything: Laying on my stomach. I don't do it a lot, but I've been wanting to do it lately and even tried for a short bit but it's very painful. 

Symptoms/Side Effects: I'm one of the lucky ones who has my clearest complexion and healthiest hair ever while pregnant. 

Movement: Quite a bit. No one but me has felt it yet, but I feel movement pretty often. Baby is most active when I'm laying down in bed at night. 

Food Cravings: I am not really having any specific cravings, but I have to have a late night snack, every night. Lately it's been popcorn or ice cream or chips and dip. As you can see, I'm keeping it suuuuuper healthy around here. 

Anything making you queasy or sick: Peter's diapers. Cloth diapering while pregnant is harder than I expected. There has been a lot of gagging and I've lost my lunch a few times over it. 

Have you started to show yet: Oh, there's no question about that. I definitely am! 

Gender: Boy! :) We have no clue what we'll name him, but it's fun to know that HE is a HE. 

Labor signs: No way, Jose. 

Belly button in or out: Well, I wouldn't have thought this was possible, but the top half is out and the bottom half is in. It's quite strange looking. 

Wedding ring on or off: On.  

Happy or moody most of the time: Happy and tired. So tired! I do have more energy than the 1st trimester, but I'm still really tired almost all the time. I'm so thankful that Peter is a good napper because it allows me to work around the house while he's sleeping and usually get a small nap for myself too.  

Looking forward to: flying to NM next week to see my parents! 

Things to remember: I can't remember anything these days. I had to ask Kory the name of my favorite movie last week. I couldn't think of the word "door" for almost two days. I'm writing myself notes and taking pictures of things and using my calendar more than ever because my brain cannot be trusted.
