Week 21: We spent time with my old college friends/roomies this past weekend. I had fun and they’re excited to officially meet you in a few months. =) You even got a few sweet gifts. I struggled with being tired and had some swelling in the evenings. Other times this week it appeared my cankles had cankles. I know you’re going to be worth it though and I’m sure your chubby legs will be much cuter than mine! =) For now, I’ll be trying to keep my feet up more.
Highlights
How Far Along: 21 weeks
Size of baby:
Total Weight Gain/Loss: 12+ (will find out the latest official # this week)
Maternity Clothes: Pretty much nuthin' but.
Gender: We're going to be surprised. Most friends and family are guessing boy though.
Movement: Oh yes!
Sleep: About the same. Good nights and not too good nights. At this point any trouble I have is due to A) being hot, B) being uncomfortable/in pain, or C) wild and crazy dreams.
Symptoms: The latest is swelling. It seems to be worse on my right side. I had a migraine this week too - who knows if that's really related or not though. Still having heartburn but for the most part it's tolerable with some Pepcid. I continue to have the back/hip pain. I think it's here for the long haul. =( Otherwise, I've been super hungry again this week (maybe baby is hitting a growth spurt?) but that's about it.
What I miss: Cooler weather! =)
Cravings: Let's see here... Chinese Food, believe it or not. Cookies (which I've totally indulged in). Oh, and let's not forget FRIED CHICKEN. This cracks me up because for a good month, not too long ago, chicken was the LAST thing I wanted (maybe even behind lettuce if you can imagine...). It made me gag every time. AND ice cream. That's a lot of cravings, no? =)
Best Moment this week: Spending time away with friends and also, as petty as this is, getting a hair cut!
What I am looking forward to: Finalizing nursery plans and my appt. later this week.
