21 Week Bumpdate

How far along: 21 weeks

Size of baby: Banana

My total weight gain: 21 pounds. I saw the high risk doctor Thursday and asked about it. He told me I look great and because I was considered underweight when I got pregnant, it may just be my body’s way of making sure I have enough to support baby. 

Baby’s development: 

-Swallowing amniotic fluid daily

-Sleeps 12-14 hours a day

-Plenty of room to move and flip…hence the movement I’m feeling! 

Stretch marks: None.

Maternity clothes: Yes. Feeling pretty large!

Gender: Girl. Confirmed for a fourth time 🙂 

Movement: All the time! She moves way more than I remember Bubs moving.

Sleep: Insomnia and Bubs has been waking up crying a few times a night. It started after Z left and I wonder if there’s any correlation :/

What I miss: My hubs. It’s been a rough week 🙁 Oh and wine, I could use a glass right about now. 

Food cravings: Tator tots and pudding… not together!

Symptoms: Anxious, tired, hormonal. 

Nolan is: going to be without me all weekend 🙁 I’m in my cousin’s wedding and basically spending Friday and Saturday downtown for festivities. I know he will be fine with my parents and a babysitter but it’s still hard considering I’ve only left him overnight once. Prayers for this mama!
