21 Weeks



How Far Along: 21 weeks 

Size of Baby: size of a pomegranate... about 10-11 inches and 12+ oz. That's a pretty big growth spurt from from last week. No wonder I've been so hungry lately!


Total Weight Gain: I would say I'm up about 10-11 pounds total. I've been gaining about a pound a week these last 2 months. 

Gender: GIRL!

Movement: Quite a bit. Sometimes it's strong enough to feel from the outside so Dustin gets to feel her every once in a while. 

Sleep: I'm up at least once, sometimes twice a night. Most nights I can go back to sleep easily. I guess I'm so tired from working all day that I sleep pretty hard at night. I've had allergy problems the past couple nights which is not helping. It's hard to sleep with your nose either running or stuffy. Thank God for the netti pot!

Maternity Clothes: Jennifer and I went shopping last week and I tried a bunch so I could get an idea of what I like and how it all fits. I ordered 2 pair of pants from Motherhood Maternity online during the Labor Day sale and I found a couple things at Old Navy. I actually wore maternity pants for the first time today. They are pretty comfortable. 

Symptoms: Hungry, tired, sore feet/ back, backache

Cravings: I'm just so HUNGRY that it doesn't matter much. I have random cravings lately. For instance, I had a random brownie craving so I made some last week. I was really wanting an orange cream slush from Sonic one day. I'm still eating sweets which is funny because I rarely ate sweets before being pregnant. I've heard that's common when having a girl.

What I miss: Not much of anything. I've been feeling great!

Best Moment this week: Sounds silly, but buying maternity clothes. It makes it seems even more real I guess.
