Since we were out of town on the "day" of 21 weeks, we haven't remembered to take a picture, so this is my 21 Week photo. Getting big!!!
How far along: 21 Weeks
Gender: Boy
Weight gain: 15 lbs.
Maternity clothes: Mostly been wearing leggings, skirts, and my once "too big" Business pants to work. I'm really struggling with getting dressed and being comfortable now-a-days, so I've decided a shopping trip may be in order very soon!
Stretch marks: No
Belly button in or out: In
Sleep: Been struggling to sleep well between a stuffy nose and a sore throat. I wake up with a dry mouth a few times per night, and have been trying benadryl to help me sleep lately. It mostly just makes it harder to get out of bed in the mornings.
Best moment this week: Getting back on track with healthier eating and exercising regularly. I've never been a runner, but the last week and a half, I live for my hour at the gym after work and have been running around 4 miles on the elliptical per day. I really want to keep up with my weight and trying to keep the pounds off in the unwanted places has been hard.
Miss anything: My Once in a while "fast meal" of Mozzarella Sticks and a Large Dr. Pepper from Sonic. Those stories haven't been allowed to be written in this pregnancy book and they've been calling my name lately.
Movement: Baby has slowed down his movement a little lately. I don't know if it's because I'm eating less sugary foods, so he's not on a sugar high all the time? or if me exercising more regularly is burning too many calories for him? I'm starting to worry about it though. Don't quite know if I'm overreacting or what...
Cravings: Rice Crispy Treats, Stuffing and Honey Almond Oatmeal. All Carbs. Still.
Queasy or sick: I randomly threw up one day last week, and have had a runny nose and sore throat for the last week, but my energy levels are great, and I have a very hearty appetite which I've had to keep in check.
Looking forward to: Child Birthing Classes start next Wednesday, and we get to play in the Stake Vollleyball tournament this weekend, which I'm so excited for! |
