Week 21

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 21 weeks

Size of Baby: 10 ½”, the length of a carrot and about ¾ lb.

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Still 0 lbs. according to the doc.

Maternity Clothes: Just regular clothes, but they’re starting to get more uncomfortable. My mom bought me some jeans. I can’t wait to get them this weekend.

Gender: Well we had our ultrasound on the 15 at 21 weeks. Our sweet baby had the cord between its legs, which made the call on gender inconclusive. I was a little sad, but we were thankful to hear the baby is doing great.

Movement: I’m feeling more and more movement. It hasn’t gotten consistent yet, so I still have some quiet days with relatively little activity. It is reassuring to feel our baby.

Food Cravings: Nothing really.

What I Miss: I don’t miss anything.

Sleep: I’m still sleeping great.

Symptoms: Just a few headaches and some minor heartburn. This week my left hip has started to hurt. I’m not sure if I did something to it or if its pregnancy related.

Best Moment This Week: We loved getting to see our baby on the ultrasound. It flipped and flopped around but managed to keep the cord in the way the whole time!

What I Am Looking Forward To: Now, I’m looking forward to our next ultrasound. At 28 weeks, we’ll have a 4D ultrasound to try to determine the sex of the baby. It’s seven weeks away, but it can’t come soon enough!
