21 Weeks

Today I am 21 weeks pregnant!

Pregnancy highlights:

Size of Baby: Baby H now weighs about three-quarters of a pound and measures 10 1/2 inches long, about the size of a carrot, and not a baby carrot! 

Total Weight Gain/Loss: +5 since my last doctors visit.

Baby's heartbeat at last visit: 146 BPM

Maternity Clothes: YES

Gender: 3 more days an we'll find out! I can hardly wait.

Movement: I'm still not sure on this one, sometimes I will feel a twinge or something and not think anything of it, then I'm like "oh wait, that could've been the baby" but then I don't feel it again for a while. I'm sure the movements are coming. The doc said I should start to feel something real soon.

Sleep: I wish I could say I was sleeping great but in reality I'm not. I'm tossing an turning all night long then I'll have to get up to go to the bathroom. The side sleeping is not really a problem, it's just my arm, because it's usually up above my head under my pillow, so it falls asleep, then I have to turn to the other side and it will do it all over again. I can't sleep on my stomach anymore :( I have been using extra pillows, I may have to invest in a body pillow.

What I miss: Still beer! I did get in a sip or 2 of wine the other night at The Olive Garden, they asked if I wanted to sample the new wine, so I said sure and had a couple of sips. It was yummy!

Cravings: No real cravings, just seem to be hungry all the time.

Symptoms: Nope, just a growing belly and I feel like my boobs are really growing, just what I need.

Best Moment This Week: Spending last Saturday night in Peoria and attending my friends' daughter's wedding. We had a lot of fun and it was great to get away with my husband. And today, Wednesday, getting out of work at 2:00 - what a great way to start the holiday weekend!
