Week 21- Baby Boy is the Size of a Carrot!!!

21 WEEKS!!!!

Week 21 was a great one! I slept great, had very little pain/discomfort. I'm starting to feel him move more, and more every day. He's still not kicking hard enough for Clay to feel, which also means that it's not painful yet so i'm enjoying this time. I can't WAIT for Clay to be able to feel him though. He tries to anytime the baby's moving, but the little guy just isn't big enough yet. I have a feeling that will change within the next week or so though. On a totally different note, baby boy either LOVES or HATES Taylor Swift. Every time, "Shake it off" comes on, he instantly starts moving. I love country music, and listen to it all the time so i'm hoping this means he likes it too? Either way, it cracks me up!

 

How far along? 22 weeks today

Total weight gain/loss? Haven't checked, but the bump doubled in size this week

Maternity clothes? I've had to watch what work tops I wear because some have started to become a bit inappropriate. The only pants I fit in now are maternity pants, and leggings. No complaints here, it's been incredibly comfortable!

Stretch marks? None, and I'm being adiment about applying lotion like a mad woman now that everything seems to be expanding quicker than before!

Sleep? I'm sleeping easily thru the night, and waking up feeling rested/ready for the day.

Best moment this week? Seeing our new house, and starting to visualize the nursery. Can't wait to get settled!

Miss Anything? Steak and Mussels :-(

 

Movement? He's a very active lil guy! Especially after I eat, it feels like he's doing somersaults in there.

Food/Drink cravings? I craved beer this week. Obviously I didn't give into this craving, but I really wanted one the other day after work. It was weird.

Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope!
 
Have you started to show yet? Yes

Gender? It's a BOY!

 

Labor Signs? Nope

 

Belly Button in or out? In, but a little bit less so this week than last. Eeek! I'm gonna have an outie! Lol

Happy or Moody most of the time? Very happy

Looking forward to? When his movements are strong enough for Clay to feel <3
