21 Weeks

Holy Moly. I NEVER realize how much I’ve grown until I look at these pictures!

Size of Baby: According to The Bump, a banana…10.5 inches (from head to toe) and 12.7 ounces! They didn’t measure her size for some reason at the ultrasound this week, so I guess I’m just sticking to that for now.

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Officially up 3 pounds from pre-pregnancy, according to my doctor’s office. I have a feeling that’s about to start increasing quickly though…the appetite is definitely back! 🙂

Maternity Clothes: Pants pretty much all the time. If I wear regular pants, I have to wear the Bella Band with them…it hurts to keep them buttoned for too long! And I’m wearing a mix of maternity and non-maternity shirts now.

Gender: It’s a GIRL! Emma Ramey

Movement: She’s moving a lot! Nighttime is the busiest, and I feel a few in the mornings too. She’s still being stubborn for her daddy though. He hasn’t been able to feel any yet.

Sleep: Not terrible, thanks to the pregnancy pillow! I am waking up a few more times to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night though.

What I miss: Nothing!

What I am looking forward to: Getting the rest of the nursery together, and Noah feeling these kicks!

Cravings/Aversions: The monster appetite has definitely hit. I want to eat all the time! Still loving fruit and Sprite, as usual.

Symptoms: A little bit of soreness (doctor says is all normal), using the bathroom more often this week, CRAZY dreams, huge appetite!

Best Moment This Week: Seeing this sweet girl on the ultrasound again…and hearing that we are officially checked off in every department of the anatomy scan!

Weekly Wisdom: Ultrasounds will NEVER get old. 🙂
