21 weeks

How far along? 21 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: Gained 7 pounds total - I feel like my belly popped overnight.

Maternity clothes? Wearing mostly regular shirts and pants with my belly band. I am noticing that my regular clothes are becoming more snug, so dresses and black stretchy pants and tanks have been my go to this week.

Stretch marks? No, I am almost out of my Bio-Oil, so I have been using Palmer's Cocoa Butter lotion more often.  It really moisturizes well and helps with itching skin.  

Symptoms: I seem to have lost my appetite again.  I was really looking forward to having cravings and I have been disappointed so far.  I am so indecisive about what I want to eat, I usually just go somewhere and make a last minute decision.  

Sleep: I would love to sleep straight through the night again...I know I won't be getting much sleep once the baby arrives.  I am super uncomfortable, tossing and turning all night.  My husband bought me a Snoogle this week, so I am excited to start using it.

Best moment this week: Letting everyone know the sex of the baby and our parents reaction.

Have you told family and friends: Yes

Miss Anything? Energy

Movement: Her movements have seemed to have calmed down a bit.  I mostly feel her right after I eat or at bed time.

Food cravings: None this week.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Old car/truck exhaust and school buses too.

Have you started to show yet: Yes, it is amazing how you can grow so fast in a week.

Baby is a: GIRL! 

Belly Button in or out? In 

  

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy, but I definitely had my moments this week.  I am noticing my attention span is short and I can get moody easily.  Hopefully this will get better. 

Looking forward to: The holiday weekend away to celebrate a girlfriend's bachelorette party. 

I had to share this photo of my fur baby Figgy.  He has been my little protector and snuggle bug for a few weeks now.  I am convinced he knows I am pregnant.  He doesn't leave my side and sleeps next to me every night...I love him to pieces.  I just hope he adjusts well when baby girl arrives.  He has been used to being the baby of the house for the past three years. 

Have a great holiday weekend :)
