21 Weeks


How far along? 21 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 14 pounds (give or take)
Maternity clothes? Still loving my black leggings with longer tops and boots, also my green "holiday" pants and of course the yoga pants

Stretch marks? Yep - on the tops of my thighs...
Sleep: Still getting up at least once a night...and finding the body pillow on the floor most mornings :(  Also - woke up several times this week with a bloody nose.  The first time, I actually thought that my nose had been running all night and just been wiping it with my sleeve and going back to sleep.  Only when I wiped a big run of what I thought was snot away, did I notice that it was blood.  I rushed to the bathroom and it looked like I had gotten into a huge fight.  My face was all red and my pillow so gross.  I had a hard time stopping it, so I called Rob, who told me that I just needed to sit down (instead of trying to do five things at once), lean forward and pinch the bridge of my nose.  It worked!  Needless to say, I think we will look into getting a humidifier. 
Best moment this week: Feeling the baby kick with my own hand on my stomach!  And, finding out the sex (to be revealed soon!)
Miss Anything? Sleeping through the night, a lot of my clothes, and of course, diet coke.

Movement: the baby moves all day long and its very cool and reassuring!  I like to just sit and try to be aware of it -- can't wait for Rob to feel it too!  .
Food cravings: CHOCOLATE milk - man, I could drink that all day long! 
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope!
Have you started to show yet: Yes!  And while I love that people know - I'm not feeling super photogenic these days.  I hated almost all the pictures my mom took of me over the holidays.  I feel like my face is puffy, my hair frizzy, and my legs stumpy.  Thankfully, Rob reminds me all the time that I'm beautiful. 
Gender: Stay tuned!
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? In for now..but definitely getting more shallow by the week...
Wedding rings on or off? On - and real tight.  Trying to decide if I should wait it out a few more weeks or just take them off now.  I just always feel weird without them on
Happy or Moody most of the time: for the most part- pretty happy, though I definitely have my moments of melt downs.
Looking forward to: THE HOLIDAYS and the new year!  Can't wait to hang out with family and friends!  Rob's dad and wife get here very soon and everyone is so excited about the baby!  I can't believe this is our last Christmas just the "two of us"!
