Weight Gain: +8lb...gaining it too quickly at this point. Maybe I should blame it on the wedding this past weekend?? I'm starting to run out of excuses.
Stretch Marks: None new.
Maternity Clothes: You bet!
Symptoms: Easily winded, stuffy nose, always tired.
Sleep: My nose is almost completely blocked by morning, but if I sniffle too much it wakes Elijah! Sad day.
Best Moment of the Week: None in particular, it was just a good week! We had the wedding, Joel and Heidi visited, Rachelle and Terrah are still here, it's just been good.
Movement: Lots and lots, and it's getting harder too.
Food cravings: Watermelon, raspberries.
Gender: A girl!
What I Miss: The ability to try to lose weight. Matt is going on a weight-loss challenge, and I want to as well, but I have to wait. That's okay though, I'll be able to think about all of that later.
What I’m Looking Forward To: My next mw appointment next week, viability at 24 weeks, getting to the every-other-week-appointments part of this pregnancy!
Milestones: Being in the 20's, Matt feeling this little girl kick on the outside the other day!
Emotions: Ugh, I've been a roller-coaster. I think I feel drained from how busy this past week (or should I say MONTH) has been, and I just kind of melted down for no particular reason on Sunday. :P The last couple of days have been really good, relaxing ones though, so huzzah for that!
And the 21-week picture. I'm still not seeing a huge difference week-to-week, but I think the baby does a ton of growing in the next month, so maybe I should just do comparisons every 4 weeks to make myself feel better?
Here's 21 weeks:
And, just for fun, a comparison shot:
Left is 17w0d, right is 21w0d. So, yeah! Lots of growth when I look at it that way!
I'm finishing this post up on 21w1d, but I have a couple things to add. First, this little girl has mostly been kicking low. Like, if I hold up my pudgy belly at the bottom, then that's where she kicks, even though my uterus is about 4 centimetres above my belly button. But then today, at random, I start to feel this hard kicks up at the top of my uterus and to the far right! It was so cool, realizing how high she is! And the other cool thing was that, when I watched where my fingers were pressing I could actually see my stomach moving. I love it!
Anyway, I'm going to wrap this up as I have a post or two I still wanted to do today.
