21 weeks

Our baby is now 21 weeks along. I definitely have the pregnant belly, and my back is definitely feeling it. I am still getting my workouts in, but I have moved from the treadmill to the elliptical. I went to my first kid consignment sale and had the worst experience ever, it was hot, packed full of people, and nothing looked reasonable to buy. I will be making a second attempt at another kid consignment shop in a few weeks- hoping this one will be better.


How far along: 21 weeks

Total weight gain: 7lbs

Any Stretch marks: none yet- I lather 2 times a day with Jergens cocoa butter and drink lots of water, (along with cranberry juice and one caffeine free diet coke a day).

Maternity clothes: Only maternity clothes now. I have run out of possible normal shirts to wear with my maternity pants, so I am wearing dresses to work and cheer shorts at home. I have just ordered some maternity clothes at asos.com - so far my favorite place for the price. Everywhere else the clothes either look like moo moos or are expensive.

Anything missed from 10 weeks ago? Being able to run without everything bouncing.

Food aversions: I am lovin nutter butters and vegetables!

Baby movement: I feel the baby boy move every couple of hours, mainly after I eat something. It's truly the coolest thing I've ever felt so far. It's like I can feel exactly what he's doing; shoving an elbow, kicking....so awesome!

Items that make you queasy: basically any meat (chicken, beef, pork, etc).

Any signs of showing: yes, my belly is definitely sticking out!

Prediction of baby's gender: it's a BOY!!!

Mostly happy or moody: mostly happy, the Hubs says I'm actually less snappy pregnant!
What are you looking forward to: the hubs feeling our little mister kicking.
