Pregnancy Blog: 21 weeks

Sorry for the weird messy hair ;)

How far along?  21 weeks

Total weight gain/measurements: 13 pounds! I started out at 131 and now I am at 144. Seems like a lot but according to this weight gain tracker, I am right on track! 

Maternity clothes: Yes! I have two pairs of jeans and two pairs of shorts so far and a few shirts. They are soooo comfy! I think I might wear them even after I deliver ;)

Stretch marks: None!  I'm using Palmer's Cocoa Butter Massage Lotion for Stretch Marks everyday around my belly, sides, and breasts and have none to show so far..

 

Sleep: Recently, I haven't been getting much sleep mostly because my tailbone has been killing me and it hurts to sleep on my back or side so it's hard to find a comfortable position.

Best moment this week: Being able to see her move around in my belly. I started feeling her kick just before 17 weeks but only when I pressed on my belly. Now I can see her every little move:)

 

Miss anything? The only thing I ever miss is certain foods. I miss eating sushi but I am especially missing smoked salmon. I would kill for a bagel with cream cheese and smoked salmon! 

Movement: Yes, lots!

Food cravings: I never really had food cravings except for a few in the first trimester but last night I was craving funfetti cupcakes? I need to stop watching Cupcake Wars on Food Network!

 

Anything making you queasy or sick? The only thing that's grossed me out has been guacamole. And I usually love it?

Gender:  Girl!

 

Labour signs: None.

 

Symptoms: Shortness of breath, heartburn, aching tailbone, and still very weird and vivid dreams.

 

Belly button in or out? In!

 

Engagement ring on or off? On.  

Happy or moody most of the time: Very happy!

Looking forward to: My next appointment. I can't wait to sign up for Hypnobirthing classes!
