21 Weeks

Pregnancy Highlights

How Far Along: 21 Weeks
Size of Baby: The size of a large banana in length and weights almost 11 ounces (our baby has already surpassed that mark!!)
Total Weight Gain/Loss: The last time I was at the doctor I had gained 5 pounds – I bet I have gained 10 by now.  Especially with all the Girl Scout Cookies I ate this weekend!
Gender: Your guess is as good as ours!
Movement: Tons!  I “saw” the baby kick this week.  It looked like he/she was practicing boxing moves.  I’m sure Derek will be able to feel it soon!
Sleep: Just dandy!
What I Miss: Having clothes that fit.  I am not in any maternity tops yet, but I did put on some maternity pants and they are wonderful – so much more comfortable than my jeans with a hair binder securing them!
Cravings: No real cravings but I do seem to be eating more and more all the time!
Symptoms: My lower stomach has been hurting lately, my guess is that it’s the muscles stretching to make room for this oversized kid!!
Best Moment This Week: Noting to do with baby, but I received a promotion this week and work, complete with my own office!  I love having a space to call my own and also a definite direction at work!
What I'm Looking Forward To: We have another doctor’s appointment coming up (17^th).  We will get to discuss our ultrasound and everything that went on that day (a completely different story!)
