Stretch marks? No
Sleep: Sleeping pretty well this week. Getting very stiff though, I have to change positions a lot. 
Best moment this week: Fetal Fotos! Oh it was so neat. It was crazy to be able to see baby boy's face. So fun.
Miss anything? Chai Tea Lattes
Movement: His kicks have moved up to around my belly button now, they're not so low anymore.
Food Cravings: Grapefruit, watermelon, coconut water, blueberry pancakes, bacon, and sour punch straws.
Anything making you queasy or sick? I'm having a hard time eating chicken.

21 Weeks




21 Weeks!

How far along? 21 Weeks
Baby size in fruit/vegetable: Carrot
Total weight gain/loss: 18 pounds gained
Maternity clothes? Leggings and Jeans
Stretch marks: Turns out it was a false alarm before on the stretch marks. So, still none! :)
Sleep: This week sleep was rough. I would wake up in the middle of the night feeling wide awake, as if I had had tons of caffeine before bed. Extremely tired all day!
Best moment this week: Ultrasound! Sooooo happy and relieved that baby boy is doing well! He has everything he is supposed to have and is baking so perfectly in there. 
Miss Anything? Caffeine! Especially this week. I could really go for some Coke.
Movement: He moves A LOT! He is a wild one. It was so neat to be able to see and feel his movements at the same time during the ultrasound. 
Food cravings: Grapefruit, watermelon, black raspberry chocolate ice cream, pancakes, turkey sandwiches,  peach rainbows, and not much else. Still not craving or feeling like much.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not really, still feeling pretty good these days.
Bump: I swear the angle of these pictures makes me look bigger than I really am. My bump is certainly getting more round at the bottom though.
Discomforts: Hip and lower back pain, restless feet at night, and acid reflux.
Labor signs: No
Belly button in or out? On it's way out.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Moody this week.
Looking forward to: Fetal Fotos this weekend!






Baby boy kicking away!

19 Weeks


I swear these pictures make my bump look way bigger than it really is.
19 Weeks!

How far along? 19 weeks
Baby size in fruit/vegetable: Mango
Total weight gain/loss: 15 pounds
Maternity clothes: The shirt in the picture is actually my first maternity shirt. Other than that, just the leggings and jeans.
Stretch Marks? No
Sleep: Sleeping better and longer! Finally! I feel so much better. But I'd still sleep all day if I could.
Best moment this week: Probably being able to sleep again. Let's hope it lasts!
Miss Anything? This sounds insane, but I miss not having to eat. If you know my mother or me, you'll understand what I mean. 
Movement: Baby's getting a little stronger and moving a lot more.
Food cravings: Really just nothing. Still craving fruit, especially watermelon. And I've been craving Pace's peach rainbows, but other than that I rarely feel like anything. I'm ready to get some serious cravings!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not much! Still dealing with acid reflux a few nights a week. 
Bump: It's actually felt a lot smaller this week. I was surprised how large it looks in the picture.
Discomforts: HIP PAIN! Oh, the hip pain! And it's really only just beginning. How I'll get through the next 20 weeks, I don't know! It's been accompanied by restless feet at night, sore tail bone, headaches, and acid reflux.
Labor Signs: None
Belly Button in or out? In
Happy or Moody most of the time: Still moody.
Looking forward to: The next ultrasound! Only 2 more weeks, I can't wait.
