21 weeks!

Today's date: Saturday, March 10, 2011

How far along: 21 weeks and 1 day! Due date is Friday, July 20th :)

Sex: Baby boy!

Maternity clothes: I have been wearing about half and half. I bought some really cute maternity things at target and motherhood and I feel so much more comfortable in them than my regular clothes!

Sleep: My sciatic nerve is back in spasm mode! I think the baby is pressing right down on my pooey disk...so sleeping has been tough. I sleep with a body pillow between my legs which is helping.

Best moment(s) of the week:  Brandon and I went shopping today for some house things. It doesn't sound exciting but he's so glued to football during football season that it's nice to have him shop with me again!

Movement: I feel him lots and lots and always on the right side. The ultrasound showed that he is head down by my cervix and his feet are on my right side which is why I'm always feeling his kicks! I love feeling him move around it's exciting.

Food cravings/aversions: ice cream has been a big craving lately...usually I'm a cookie person! Maybe I'm not getting enough calcium in my diet?

Morning sickness: Nope just major headaches still

Symptoms: I'm still having shoulder and lower back pain...I think a lot of it is due to the large amount of weight I gained in such a short time. I actually almost fell over in the closet getting ready today because my weight has shifted so much so fast!

Labor signs: Way too soon.

Belly button in or out:  Half in

What I miss: A clean house (too tired to clean everyday now!) and family

What I'm looking forward to: Bran's grandparents are coming in 5 days and Becky's wedding in Vegas! :) That weekend is also going to be our "babymoon"

Size and growth of our baby: Baby is now the length of a CARROT!

Your baby now weighs about three-quarters of a pound and is approximately 10 1/2 inches long — the length of a carrot. You may soon feel like he's practicing martial arts as her initial fluttering movements turn into full-fledged kicks and nudges. You may also discover a pattern to his activity as you get to know him better. In other developments, your baby's eyebrows and lids are present now, and if you're having a girl, her vagina has begun to form as well.
