Week 21
Size: A Banana
Total Weight Gain/Loss: +14
Maternity Clothes: Maternity pants, regular tops and maternity tops.
Stretch Marks: None…on my stomach! Lathering up with lotion.
Gender: GIRL!! Avery Grace
Movement: Lots of movement. Hubs was able to feel her kick on our anniversary
Sleep: Much better this week. Still up once, but able to fall back asleep easier.
Cravings: None but I’ve been enjoying white fish this week.
Aversions: None. I had a milkshake this week and didn’t have any sort of reaction =-)
Symptoms: Where do I start….Lower back pain has been in full swing this week, I had some colostrum leakage which was interesting to say the least and best yet is my swollen feet that have grown a half inch. Yes, my feet are already swollen. I blame the FL heat because when I was in Atlanta they weren’t swollen at all. I’m hoping I can get through the next 8 weeks of work in sandals that I own instead of having to buy new shoes. I’m also praying that my feel go back to the 5.5 size they were because I have LOTS of shoes I would hate to lose after pregnancy!
Labor Signs: None. Keep cooking baby girl!What I Miss: Running and intense workouts
What I’m Looking Forward To: Viability at 24 weeks and getting started on her nursery.
Best Moment This Week: Visiting my in-laws this weekend. It was the first time we’ve seen them since I’ve been pregnant. It was fun talking about everything and our plans for the nursery, registry and more. Little miss also was very spoiled. We came back with some of the cutest clothes for her from her grandparents and aunt!
Thoughts: I am really enjoying this stage of pregnancy. I love feeling her kick, love pinning things for her nursery and love shopping for cute girl stuff. I’m very grateful and trying to take time to appreciate it each and every day. I’m also starting on lots of lists. We have to register for baby classes, need to get the furniture ordered, find a glider, and so much more. I’ve dedicated a notebook to her that will hold all my lists having to do with pregnancy.
You still look so cute – despite the pregnancy woes 🙂
Looking great! The heat does not help the swelling that is for sure! Avery scored big this Easter 🙂
My rings are getting tight now…I don't think I'll be able to wear them much longer 🙁
You look great! Love all the clothes you got for your little girl 🙂
Congratulations!!!! I apologize for being late to wish you the best – I've been out of the loop for a bit but I'm SSSOOO excited for you!!!! You look wonderful:)
You look great! Unfortunately if you're feet grew I'm pretty sure that's a PERMANENT change. Pray for them to go back but as far as I know you're stuck with the bigger feet!
