21 Week Update

How Far Along:
  21 Weeks

Size of the Baby:

  Baby is the size of a Pomegranate!

About 10.5 inches and 12 ounces.

Maternity Clothes:

I found some old/new clothes at a clothing swap

that a few friends and I had on Saturday...

and the few items even fit over my growing belly!

Weight gain:
Hehehe...well, I'm starting to pack on the pounds now.

I'm up a total of 12lbs.

Sleep:

One thing that has changed since I became pregnant...

I have to sleep with the window open.

Pretty much throughout my whole life, I have been a literal ice cube while I sleep

(ask Micah, I'm not exaggerating),

but now I find that I get so overheated at night

that I have to sleep with the window open

and a cool breeze blowing on my face.

(remember...I live in Montana...and it's winter...

and the cool breeze is actually arctic air that's probably around 10 degrees).

Best Moment of the Week:

I had to have another quick ultrasound,

so I was able to hear our little girls heartbeat again!

 

Movement:

I was able to feel her kick from the outside!

But unfortunately whenever Micah tries to feel she stops kicking.

Food Cravings:

I was finally able to eat eggs for breakfast... scrambled eggs!

It's been months since I've even been able to tolerate the smell eggs

and now I can eat them every morning!

Gender:

Still a girl!

Belly Button in or out:
In, but I'm beginning to notice that its getting flatter.

And, on a side note...

I'm now realizing that getting that belly piercing in my early twenties

(why oh why did I do that) was not the best of ideas. 

 Wedding ring on or off:
On

Anything making you queasy or sick:

Nope

What I miss:

I still miss coffee.

I would even be happy with a good cup of decaf,

but I read that coffee blocks vitamin absorption, so I've even cut out decaf.

What I am looking forward to:

I am looking forward for winter to be over,

so that I can sit outside with my big pregnant belly and soak up the sun!

Nursery:

Nothing new from last week.

 

Bed Rest Update:

The results of my last ultrasound came back

and the "complication" that had me on bed rest was no longer visible! 

That is a huge answer to prayer!!

So I think I will change this catagory from "bed rest update"

to "ways I've been relaxing".
