Boy or Girl? 21 Week Pregnancy Update
Tuesday, May 20, 2014
I'm more than half-way through pregnancy. Time is flying! I'm definitely starting to feel more pregnant physically. I get tired/out of breath pretty easily, especially on stairs. The way I bend over is also starting to change already. I'm definitely starting to feel like there is something in my stomach that must be worked around lol.
How far along? Technically I'm 20 weeks and 6 days, but if I don't get this blog post out today, I'm not sure when it will happen lol.
How big is baby? Depending on the app I look at, it's the size of a small cantaloupe and as long as a carrot, however that makes sense lol.
Maternity Clothes? My friend Brittany sent me some maternity dresses and pants that have been life savers. I've bought a couple maternity tops and one pair of pants. I'm trying to stretch my "regular" wardrobe as much as I can. I fear I've almost stretched it as far as it will go at this point.
Morning Sickness? Didn't have morning sickness at all really. ::praise dances::
Mood Swings? I have times where I feel very...hormonal. I know I'm having a hormonal time when I randomly get mad at people in commercials on TV.
Buy anything for baby this week? Surprisingly no! I thought for sure I'd run out and get some stuff once I knew the gender, but I just haven't had time. I have gotten a good start on our registry though. Note: Keep reading for gender reveal.
Sleep? Well, I have to use the bathroom at least twice at night. But other than that I can usually get an o.k. sleep. Since being pregnant I seem much more susceptible to TV affecting my dreams. On Sunday night I was being tried for a crime I didn't commit and there was a bunch of false evidence against me... because I watched Game of Thrones right before bed.
Best Moment This Week: Finding out the gender! Note: Keep reading for gender reveal.
Movement: I'm pretty sure I'm feeling this kid move around in there a bit.
Cravings: The thing I've wanted most is eggs.
What I miss? Not having to use the bathroom ALL THE TIME.
What I am looking forward to? More movement, and getting the nursery together.
Gender: It's a ......GIRL!!!!!
how are the eggs made....when's the shower?...lol it's Uche
ReplyDeleteScrambled egg sandwiches lol. I'll probably figure out the date for the shower this weekend when my mom is here.
DeleteYay!! Have you picked out names yet? You look great.
ReplyDeleteLong as a carrot, huh? She'll probably be tall like a basketball player and get you guys lots of money!
ReplyDeleteYAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations to you love!! Little girls are sweet as pie :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Kiianah!
DeleteYay! it's a girl.....Girls are running rampant in this family! I love feeling Ava's little kicks and punches. I remember the very first time feeling her at work...I wanted to stand up and shout "SHE MOVED...I FELT HER MOVE!" LOL. It didnt feel like butterflies, or flutters, or everthing else everyone says. For me it felt like someone with little itty bitty tiny drumsticks hitting me inside. It was such an exciting feeling I wanted her to continue to do it. Ever since, she hasn't stopped. She's very much a busy body!
ReplyDeleteHopefully, time will fly by for you as it has for me....I only have 10 weeks left and can't believe it!
So many girls!! lol. You're in the home stretch, that's so exciting. To me it feels like flutters. It's so strange to feel a little human moving around in there!
DeleteYay for girls!
ReplyDeleteEeep! Yay for a girl! I'm glad your pregnancy has been going well so far.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteYay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Girl power! Any names yet? I think Crisa would be a perfect name! Hahahahaha! Kidding... (not really.. ok kidding) You seem to be moving right along quite nicely. Happy for ya!
ReplyDeleteCrisa is nice... but we're going with Sage lol
DeleteOk, I love Sage!! She's already going to stand out. I don't know one person with the name Sage. Love it!
