Bumpdate - Week 21

How far along? 21 Weeks and 6 days.  I'm a little late with this post.
Baby is the size of? A carrot.  Baby is about 10.5 inches long and weighs only about 12 ounces.

Total weight loss/gain? Have not weighed myself recently.

Maternity Clothes? Yes, I made room and finally put them in my drawers and closet.  Even regular leggings and stretchy gym shorts are a little uncomfortable right now.

Stretch Marks? I don't see any

Sleep? Sleep has been ok.  I am having pelvic pain already so its tough to switch sides in the middle of the night.  I remember having this with Harrison but not sure if it was this early on.

Best moment of this week? Asking Harrison if baby was a boy or girl and he said "girl".  Then I asked if baby had a penis or a vagina and he said "gina".  Maybe he knows something we don't know.

Worst moment of this week? Feeling overwhelmed with lots to do.  I want to nest and purge but feel like there is never enough time.  I finally put the Christmas decorations away today.  Felt good to finally get them away.

Miss Anything?  Not really

Movement? Lots of movement.  Baby is very active in the evenings and when I am laying in bed.

Food Cravings? Sweets, chocolates with peanut butter.

Anything make you queasy or sick? Eating eggs, yucky smells, certain textures, brushing my teeth but only in the morning.

Symptoms?  The pelvic pain, round ligament pain.

Have you started to show yet?  Yes






Gender Predictions?  I was totally thinking a boy but now kind of thinking a girl.  It changes weekly!

Labor signs?  Not yet.  I had my first Braxton hicks a few nights ago when baby was really active.  Only lasted a few seconds. I had them quite a bit with Harrison.

Belly Button in or out?  In but getting shorter.

Exercise?  Hanging and walking with Harrison.  We have been taking nature walks lately since the weather is so beautiful.  He loves to look for acorns.

Happy or Moody most of the time?  Still pretty happy.  Just nervous how I will do it all with two kids when some days it feels I am barely hanging on with only one.

Looking forward to?  Having a moms morning tomorrow with some girlfriends, mani/pedis and brunch.

Any irrational worries?  Pre-term labor, birth defects, the usual.
