Baby E 2 - 21 weeks

Don't mind my hair. I was going for the get-this-hair-off-me-I-am-so-hot look.

How far along: 

21 weeks! Over half done already!

Total weight gain:

I have gained about 6-7 pounds in the past two weeks! So that leaves me only down about 5 pounds from pre-pregnancy weight!

Size and growth of the baby: 

About the size of a large carrot. 3/4 of a pound and 10 and 1/2 inches long!

 

Sex:

BOY! Totally surprised us all!

Maternity clothes: 

Yup. Large and in charge :)

Just kidding. I am just all about comfort though.

 

Sleep:

Pretty good. Still tired like alllll the time.

Best moment(s) of the week: 

Our ultrasound! It never gets old to get a peek into a miracle being formed. The 3D ultrasounds totally creep me out, but they are so amazing!

Also our new room is almost done! Ahh! Carpet gets put in tomorrow and then we can start buying new stuff and organizing and decorating :)

Movement: 

Yes, definite movement :) :)

I can't tell if he is less active than Reagan or if it is because how he is positioned. Reagan was head down and face up, so I was constantly feeling his arms and legs moving, but this guy is head down, but face backwards (posterior?) I don't know the medical term, but he is facing my back...so I think most of his kicks and punches go toward my back and I don't feel them.

Food cravings/aversions:

Still nothing sounds very good. I always have a bad taste in my mouth....ugh.

Morning sickness:

Pretty much over. I still just have nausea with different food or tastes. I am really sensitive to how stuff tastes when I am pregnant.

Symptoms: 

I started having heart palpitations, which totally freaks me out...but my doctor checked me out and I'm fine. I have also had some definite contractions already. Crazy! I am hot ALL.THE.TIME! It's ridiculous.

Labor signs :

A few contractions, but other than that nothing. My doctor said I am right on track for delivery in December.

Belly button in or out:

It is almost out already! It is crazy the differences between my first pregnancy and this one.

What I miss:

Feeling good. If it isn't nausea...its headaches...or cramps...or overwhelming fatigue. This pregnancy has been much more trying. I was really sick with Reagan, but that was it. This pregnancy has been so much more wearing on me.

What I'm looking forward to: 

Finishing up our new room and starting the new nursery! :)
