21 Weeks

Week 21 Highlights

How far along: 21 weeks

21 weeks, 5 days (In our cruise cabin on the 1st night)

Size of baby:  A carrot! Approximately 10 and 1/2 inches long and weighing in at 3/4 of a pound.

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Still down about 9lbs. I gained a pound this week!

How I'm Changing: Belly is growing!

Maternity Clothes: With the exception of my yoga pants, I am in maternity pants full time. They are so comfortable. I packed many non-maternity dresses for the cruise, but for some, their days are numbered. I also purchased some maternity swimsuits for the cruise.

Gender: Girl

Movements: YES!!! The afternoon of 21 weeks I felt our little girl kicking!

Sleep: The leg cramps have begun - enough said.

Symptoms: I am starting to feel better. I have high hopes for the cruise. I am determined to stay on-top of taking my Zofran in hopes of being able to eat and having a good week.

How I'm feeling: Great!

What I Miss: Eating!

Cravings: Still on my sweet and sour kick. Mexican or spicy food still seems to be ok.

Best Moment of the Week: Feeling our girl move and spending Thanksgiving with family. I was even able to enjoy our Thanksgiving meal!

What I am Looking Forward To: A week in paradise with the love of my life! We haven't really taken a vacation since our honeymoon. Husby has been so busy at work and will be very busy when we get home so I'm looking forward to spending tons of uninterrupted time with him.
