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 :)
