21 Weeks

21 weeks, 2 days

I'm definitely showing, but I don't think I'm growing quickly yet. I kind of feel like I pretty much look the same week to week right now.


How Far Along: 21 Weeks

Size of baby: About the size of a banana, or 13 oz and 10.5 in.

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Gained 8 lbs.

Maternity Clothes: I wear maternity jeans and pants sometimes, I've switched back to my regular jeans with a belly band.  The maternity are just a little too loose and stretchy still and I got annoyed with constantly pulling them up.  My regular jeans no longer fit! Everything else is regular.

Gender: Girl! We can't wait to meet our sweet Baby Grace!.

Movement: Movement is consistent.  Grace always bops around night after we put J to bed.  She is very active between 8 and 9 and night. Joe can now feel her from the outside.

Sleep: My sleep is getting much better!

What I miss: Nothing really.  I have hit a really easy stretch :o) and time is just flying by!

Cravings: Umm everything? Does that count? I eat a lot, and I think Grace loves pizza.  This is not how things went with Joey and I'm afraid I'll regret it at the end of pregnancy.

Symptoms: I've been feeling lots of bopping around and I still get sick every morning. I get very hungry easily and feel myself getting winded when I know I shouldn't be.

Best Moment this week: We spent the weekend shopping for girl things as a family! This has been a favorite pass-time lately, but Joe has not been along for the ride :o).  We went to the crossings along with my mother and had so much fun! I'm grateful for a patient husband who is willing to entertain our 18month old while I spend way too much time making decisions! :o)

For comparison sake, here we are at 21 weeks and 5 days with our Baby J.
