21 weeks....halfway over the hump...or should I say BUMP!

Pregnancy Highlights

How far along? 21 Weeks

Size of the baby? Your baby now weighs about three-quarters of a pound and is approximately 10 1/2 inches long — the length of a carrot. You may soon feel like she's practicing martial arts as her initial fluttering movements turn into full-fledged kicks and nudges. You may also discover a pattern to her activity as you get to know her better. In other developments, your baby's eyebrows and lids are present now, and if you're having a girl, her vagina has begun to form as well.

Maternity Clothes? I wore a pair of full panel maternity pants this week and they are super comfy! There is no question that I am pregnant these days. People ask me how far along I am regularly.

Gender? We are having a baby girl!

Movement? I went to an aesthetician for my face this week and baby girl had a very active moment! Still no jabs, just a churning.

Sleep? Sleeping well, and waiting for my snoogle (body pillow) to come in the mail Thursday. Jordan is concerned about whether there will be room for him in the bed!

Cravings? I am not feeling as hungry lately…hmm? I have never eaten brussel sprouts EVER, but have had them twice since being pregnant. Loving promegrante juice, and still drink a lot of milk with the occasional cookie….. : )

Symptoms? I had my first run in with a little sciatic nerve pain. It didn’t last long and must have been the way I slept. I miss sleeping on my stomach. I think I must be more tense when I am sleeping because I wake up stiff.

Best Moment of the Week? Receiving roses from Jordan for our anniversary and getting to celebrate three years of marriage.

Also, found this sweet happy for baby! It’s a calendar for the first year of baby girl’s life.
