Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 21 weeks, 5 days
Size of baby: weighs about three-quarters of a pound and is approximately 10 1/2 inches long — the length of a carrot. (according to babycenter.com)
Total Weight Gain/Loss: I've gained 10.5 lbs total as of my last appointment at 19 weeks....probably a little more by now, though.
Maternity Clothes: yep
Gender: girl - Aubrey Lauren :)
Movement: I usually feel her move at night when we're laying in bed watching TV or when I'm just laying still trying to go to sleep, but I have to be laying completely still. If I'm moving around like normal throughout the day, I do not feel anything. (no change from last week) Rhett did get to feel her kick the other night, though! This happened a little earlier this time around as he did not feel Caleb kick until 24 weeks.
Sleep: Still having to get up to go to the bathroom several times a night. Also, I'm now supposed to avoid sleeping on my back. This is difficult b/c I like sleeping on my back! and.....the crazy dreams are back again.
Symptoms: Having to pee all.the.time. Some pressure/achiness, which my doctor says is normal, especially for the 2nd pregnancy. Also, this week I have been starving! I cannot make it between meals without a snack (or two).
What I miss: sleeping on my stomach and back and sleeping straight through the night! My hips hurt at night from just sleeping on my sides - blah.
Cravings: still pretty much the same....strawberries and sweets!
Best moment this week: um, I guess buying Caleb's big boy bedding and Aubrey's nursery bedding.
What I am looking forward to: hopefully, more movement from Aubrey and doing some more thinking/planning for both rooms.
