21 Weeks - 19 to Go!

Goodness, 21 weeks already! Still amazed at how fast, yet how slow, this whole process is. Three patients in a row today (whom I haven't met before) asked me when I was due...so I must have crossed the line from just looking fat to showing enough that people are confident enough that it is baby to ask a question like that :) Makes me smile.


How far along? 21 weeks
Total weight gain: 6 pounds
Baby is the size of a: Banana
Maternity clothes? Still just a few maternity tank tops.
Stretch marks? Ugg..
Sleep: Same as last week - Struggling with continuously waking up on my back and feeling guilty for doing it, otherwise not too bad
Best moment this week: Feeling babe's entire body when I had been laying down...pretty amazing
Miss anything? Sleeping on my back
Movement: Yes, off and on...still pretty sporadic
Food cravings: Ice water, Chicken fried steak.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing!
Gender: I might as well wait until it is confirmed for the 3rd time to make the announcement at this point
Baby Name: Daddy keeps referring to Babe by name, we will see if it sticks :)
Labor Signs: None
Symptoms: Still having a few rare what I think are Braxton-Hicks contractions, occasional indigestion
Belly Button in or out? In...but it sure is getting more shallow every week
Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy, of course!
Looking forward to: Ultrasound Friday, putting nursery furniture together, registering, and spending an entire weekend with Daniel
. Haven't looked forward to a weekend like this for so long!

Love and Prayers in Week 22!

Please excuse the poor quality of my pictures, the blurriness, the "links" that somehow appear in the paragraphs that I have no idea how to get rid of, the obnoxious background/formatting of this blog, and the random formatting errors that are present in every post. I cannot figure out why these things are happening and I am not able to fix them. I really am not as stupid and careless as this blog makes me seem. :)
