21 weeks

How far along? 21 weeks, 2 days (I had an ultrasound last week and Cason was measuring a week behind. He also measured a week behind at my first ultrasound at 11 weeks, so my due date may move to Dec 15th. I will have to wait until my next doctor’s appointment to know for sure though.)

Total weight gain/loss: Up 9 lbs…still gaining a pound a week!

Maternity clothes: Always

Stretch marks: Same ones

Sleep: Good. I don’t seem to be waking up as much to go to the potty. But I did wake up one night this week hungry and had to eat something.

Best moment this week: Another ultrasound. Cason is still a boy!

Movement: All the time now! I love it!

Food cravings/aversions: Fruit and TACOS. I run through the Taco Bell drive-thru at least every other day.

Gender: Boy!

Labor signs: During my ultrasound last week, the tech said they she could see that I was having a Braxton Hicks contraction and that I needed to be drinking more water. I had a few almost painful contractions that day and the next, but I started drinking my weight in water so hopefully they won’t become a bigger problem.

Belly button in or out: Slowly starting to become flat

What I miss: Not being short of breath when I walk 15 feet!

What I am looking forward to: A week of rest. Last week, Noah had a stomach bug and was up all night long throwing up. It left us both exhausted, plus I had a big event at church to help host on Saturday and was on my feet for a few hours in heels. I’m still trying to recuperate!

Weekly wisdom: You can use Icy Hot Patches while pregnant! Yay!

Milestone: We now have all the nursery furniture put together and arranged in Cason’s room!
