21 Weeks

21 WEEKS!

  Baby is the size of a....Pomegranate!!!

How far along: 21w, 4d

Physical symptoms: Feeling pretty good.  Appetite is back for the most part.  Took advantage of that over Christmas!


Total Weight Gain/Loss: Lost another pound (down 5 pounds total) according to my OB's scale. I think I've gained quite a bit over the last week with my appetite coming back and Christmas :)
 
Maternity clothes: Got some new Gap jeans for Christmas.  Love them!

Stretch marks: Nothing new 

Sleep: Sleep has been going ok.  Waking up a lot as usual and sometimes have a hard time going back to sleep.  Snoogle pillow is finally helping out some with getting comfortable. 

Best moment last week:  Ultrasound!  The anatomy scan was absolutely amazing.  They checked for all the main organs, blood flow in and out of the heart, things in the brain, etc.  Everything was perfect.  We could see our little boy's mouth moving like he was chewing.  His heart was pumping away and he was squirming all over the place!  The tech had a hard time getting some good pictures because he was so wiggly.  On the left his a face/body shot and on the right is his tiny little hand.  They estimated that he was measuring 4 days ahead at 21 weeks and weighs approximately 1 pound!

 

 

Movement: Movement has picked up over the last week or so.  Pretty much since the a/s.  Love feeling him every day!

 

Cravings:  Still loving fruit! No other cravings that I can really think of.

Gender: IT'S A BOY!!!!

Labor signs: Um, I would hope none!

Belly button: Normal   

 

What I miss: Not being so tired at night.  I feel so worn down!

What I am looking forward to: Shopping for paint and carpet.

Milestones: Perfect anatomy scan!
