HOW FAR ALONG –  21 weeks! OH MY GOODNESS!

////

TOTAL WEIGHT GAIN-    I find out tomorrow what the total is…but I would guess probably 8 lbs total so far? Maybe 10?

////

MATERNITY CLOTHES?-     Yep! Not many. I have a pair of actual maternity shorts I love, and a couple dresses I bought a couple sizes bigger. Other than that, still wearing my stretchy old clothes! Yay for recycling 🙂

////

STRETCH MARKS?-    No! I feel like my skin feels so tight though. I can’t imagine it stretching any further..

////

SLEEP?-  No pee breaks = better sleep. Insomnia has subsided. Sleep is good right now!

////

BEST MOMENT THIS WEEK?-    Feeling the consistent bubbles and knocks in my belly! It was definitely a baby! She doesn’t move often, but maybe once a day I’ll feel her if I pay close attention!

 ////

MISS ANYTHING?-     Super sweaty workouts. THE SUNSHINE!!! Regular clothes. My golden tan. <—-Still all of that.

////

MOVEMENT?-  Yep! Teeny tiny bit!

////

FOOD CRAVINGS?-  Gone.

////

FOOD AVERSIONS?-   Gone.

////

GENDER-  Our baby is a sweet girl.

////

SYMPTOMS-    Just so much love and happiness! I am beaming constantly! I have tremendous energy during the day, but by 6pm I’m exhausted!! Some breakouts again, nothing major to report. This has been, so far, a pretty great trimester. Apparently for most it is!

////

WEDDING RINGS ON OR OFF?   ON :)

////

LOOKING FORWARD TO-  Our big ultrasound tomorrow to see baby Elsie much bigger and hopefully less alien-like! 🙂

Belly at 21 weeks!

Elsie is reaaaally stretching out in there! I finally have been feeling some consistent rattles inside my belly. Mostly after I sit down after being really busy all day. She seems to like how active I am! I suppose she doesn’t want me to stop 🙂 She’s been a good girl so far. Nothing new to report…except for how big I feel that I am. SO much more growing to do though! Tomorrow is our 3rd (and hopefully last) ultrasound. I can’t wait to see her again!! I’ll post those photos tomorrow!
