21 Weeks Pregnant as of [06.18.2014]
Have I said before how much I LOVE maxi dresses?? They're definitely my go-to during this summer pregnancy. I could wear shorts and a tank top, which I have plenty of, but for some reason, I just don't feel confident in shorts this summer. I feel MUCH better in maxi dresses, so there you have it :) I would love to get a maxi skirt, but I just haven't found one I adore! Maybe eventually-- hubby has his 6-year (they missed the 5-year lol) class reunion soon and I would love to have one for that night! We'll see :)
I can feel baby boy kicking as I'm walking now. It's so much fun. I was shopping the other night and I could feel him moving all over-- this is definitely when all of the fun starts! We can see him kicking on the outside too which is awesome for Ethan! He loves being able to look down and see it (even though he says it creeps him out sometimes that I have a human being in my stomach LOL Men!)
Someone asked me the other day how miserable I am. Now, of course, I'm only 5 months along, but thankfully, it has been a pretty good Summer! I think I'm worse during the heat when I'm NOT pregnant than I am when I AM pregnant. I am really grateful we conceived when we did for this one because I always swore I would never have a Summer pregnancy, but this happened, and I had to roll with it-- and I am so happy that it did.. when it did :) It forced me to get out of my comfort zone-- and it forced me to have a child with birthdays NOT close to the girls. There's only 30 days (and 2 years of course) between the girl's birthdays and that makes birthday planning fast.. and crazy! At least I will have 6 months between this one and the first birthday party in March :) Whoo!
'BabyBump' says baby is about 10.5" long and about 12.7oz. They estimate that he is about the size of a large banana :)
We have 16-19 weeks (112-133 days) left!! :) Seems like it's going really fast-- and all we have is a freaking bag of clothes sitting in his room (which is decorated in Disney princesses from the previous owners LOL) I'd say we have our work cut out for us-- eek!
Now, weekly question time:
How far along? 21 weeks.
Total Weight Gain? 3 so far :)
Maternity Clothes? Just LOTS AND LOTS of maxi dresses!!
Stretch Marks? I have some from both pregnancies already!
Sleep: It's been a rough week for sleep! Not sure why, just is! :(
Best Moment of This Week: Feeling baby while walking around :) He's getting big!
Miss Anything? Just not being worried all of the time! I know
that sounds horrible, but when you're pregnant, you're making sure you
feel baby, making sure no one hits baby, making sure when you're sick,
baby is still fine. I feel like a worry wart sometimes :( I mean, I
worry about my girls, but at least their outside of my belly and I can
see them and know everything is okay.
Movement: Yes!
Food Cravings: Nothing really :/
Anything Make You Queasy or Sick? Not really! Feeling good this week!
Gender: BOY!!
Labor Signs: I'd sure hope not! :)
Symptoms: Nausea in the AM, peeing constantly, feeling movement :)
Belly Button In or Out? She's an innie!
Wedding rings on or off? On and sometimes off at night! My hands seem to swell then for some reason?
Happy or Moody this Week? Moody-- I feel awful for my husband this week!
Looking Forward To: We have a doctor's appointment Wednesday-- I can't wait to hear his heartbeat :)
Cheers to 21 weeks.. on to 22 weeks!!
