21 Week Update!

Well...once again, we are a day shy of 21 weeks, but away we go:

How far along? 20 weeks 6 days

Total weight gain/loss: +10 lbs (dealin' with it).

Maternity clothes? Same as last time for the most part - not quite big enough to fill out maternity clothes, but very uncomfortable in regular clothes (especially bras :-( ).

Stretch marks? Not yet. PTL.

Sleep: Not very great - still getting up to pee constantly and the last few nights my abdomen has been pretty achy...belly growing??

Best moment this week: Seeing this little one's cute face and learning that he or she is healthy and all is still well on Tuesday!  Heart rate was about 157 bpm.

Miss Anything? Being able to run without have to pee the. entire. time.

Movement: Yes! WBH and I BOTH felt the baby at 18 weeks 1 day! Such a blessing.  The movement is still not super consistent, and we found out at the doctor that it's because I have an anterior placenta- which means baby kicks the placenta instead of me most of the time.

Food cravings: Mostly salty foods (except for CTC at breakfast, but...like that's even new).

Anything making you queasy or sick: Just if I don't eat regularly.  Otherwise good (huge blessing).

Have you started to show yet: Maybe a little bit, people that know me notice, but not obvious that I am pregnant if you do not already know (just looks like my tummy/boobs/thighs are larger).

Gender: Don't know yet!  We had the ultrasound Tuesday, but are having a Gender Reveal Party of Sunday!

Labor Signs: No no no.

Belly Button in or out? In, and will probably stay that way. Although I am amazed that it is actually a little bit shallower.  Crazy times!

Wedding rings on or off? On.

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy happy happy, 'cept if I'm stressed about work.

Size of Baby: About 10.5 inches and about 12 ounces. Hello, twice as heavy as last post!

Looking forward to: Finding out if we're having a boy or girl on Sunday!

Here are my bathroom selfies/bump pictures for this week:


I feel like I look more pregnant from this angle.

I will be back sooner this time to update after the reveal!  Everyone asks me what I think we're having, and I have honestly not had a clue, so today I decided I think we're having a boy just so I can have an answer.  What do you think??
