Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 21 weeks
Size of Baby: ~10.5", ~3/4 lb
Total Weight Gain: ~15 lbs
Maternity Clothes: LOVE having a closet full, but can't wait for the weather to cool down so I can wear ALL my clothes and not just shorts & short-sleeves and capris & tanks
Best Moment this week: ultrasound, of course! I could have laid there forever watching that cutie.
Gender: BOY! Now it's time to get busy on the nursery. In the next couple weeks I intend to get the dresser sanded/primed/painted and set up, and maybe buy the crib or shelving system with our Target gift cards. And we haven't made a purchase yet, but found these cuties online that may make it into the room : http://www.amazon.com/Funko-Marvel-Piece-Bobblehead-Figure/dp/B00533XKLA/ref=pd_ybh_24?pf_rd_p=280800601&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_t=1501&pf_rd_i=ybh&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0814ZFP822RE1ETGRSPT
Movement: sometimes I'm too busy to notice, but when I sit down and get still he usually gives me at least a tickle and sometimes stronger. He also seems more likely to move when I'm QUIET, which doesn't happen that often either ;-D The movements are gradually getting stronger and some are sudden. The doc said my placenta is in the back, which means I can feel his stronger kicks from the outside already too!
Food Craving: none... though I would still love a real mojito.... mmmm.
What I Miss Most: eating french fries without feeling sick. Even with medicine before I ate it, I regretted eating the fries in my happy meal (I ordered apples, but they were making all sorts of mistakes that day). But like I was telling a friend, not being able to eat greasy or fatty or chocolatey foods is helping me be healthier.
Sleep: I've been having VERY vivid dreams. I had some stressful dreams Saturday morning and it took Josh stepping in to help me with my to-do list and pointing out I was over-stressed to calm me down (it really is nice to have someone do in 10-15 min what would have taken you hours to do!). Last night I had a dream that I was driving in a car that had some sort of u/s or x-ray machine that let me see my tiny baby. He was proportional, but only an inch or two long, and he was scurrying around my insides. I woke up laughing at that one. I wonder if he was moving and my brain translated that into a dream... ??
What I am looking forward to: Dave and Shelia come on Saturday! I can't wait to see them... it's been 1.5 yrs and we miss them. It'll also be fun to have Josh off work and relaxed.
Belly Button: same old same old
Symptoms: the reflux as usual. Sometimes when I forget/get too busy to eat, I don't actually feel hungry, but I get lightheaded. Trying to remember to stop and eat lots, or at least have snacks in my purse for when I'm on the go.
