How far along: 21 weeks (and a couple days)
Size of Baby: three quarters of a pound and 10 1/2 in. (according to the website)
Maternity Clothes: I am in mostly all maternity clothes. I started wearing maternity pants a lot sooner this time than last (last time I was still in regular pants with a bella band...sigh), but to my credit, I also already owned them this time, so why not? ;) I can still wear some normal shirts, but am most comfortable in maternity tops. I just received two more pair of maternity pants/jeans in the mail today that I am super excited about. And yes, they just "appeared" in the mail. :)
Gender: It's a GIRL!!
Movement: With every sonogram/fetal heart monitoring that has been done (and trust me I have had my fair share of both this go around), the nurse comments on how much this baby moves. And, it has never been the same nurse to make that comment. I only feel her when I get still. I feel her movements still really low. I don't remember feeling Addison move this low down.
Food Cravings: rainbow sherbet, something about rainbow sherbet just seems to go really well with my pregnancies
Food Aversions: potato chips, cheese-its, goldfish crackers, pretzels, basically that entire food group (yes, I consider that a food group). I craved these things sooo much at the beginning of my pregnancy, and now I am not even tempted by any of them (thank goodness!).
What I Miss: sleeping on my back, and eating something besides TUMS for dessert
Sleep: it's actually starting to get better, I seem to have found a rhythm with the whole potty break in the night and not really wake up thing
Symptoms: heartburn, and slight back aches, and I can't use my left foot to do things like take off my right shoe, close a drawer, scoot something over (I know that's a weird one, but it's big to me because I keep forgetting and then there's the pain...if I could just remember...), oh and I tend to forget a lot of things... :)
Best Moment this Week: getting the new baby bedding in! it's adorable!!
What I am Looking Forward to: my ultrasound on Thursday morning, just love seeing this baby girl!
Here is my 21 week baby bump. I didn't take baby bump pictures with Addison and am determined to this time, although it's taken me 21 weeks to get one taken. Hopefully, posting this picture will keep me motivated to take these pictures.
OH! I almost forgot! Due date is June 10th! Eight days after our fourth anniversary. :)
Your just so darn cute! Caroline is so excited that your having another little girl! I'll have to show her this post so she can see you!
