{21 Weeks} - Baby #3

Here's my weekly update minus the belly picture!  We had a really busy weekend with house showings and an open house and we were actually in Magnolia a lot of the time.  Between cleaning house and being out of the house, I just didn't have time to take a picture this weekend.  I know it will bug me that it's missing, but it is what it is!  Not much has changed this week...


How Far Along: 21 weeks, 6 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 www.babycenter.com)

Total Weight Gain/Loss: I've gained 17 lbs total as of my 19 week appointment on 1/11.  I think I’m going to gain the most with this one!

* I took out “maternity clothes” and “gender” because obviously, these things will not change! 

Movement: Still the same - I feel her mostly at night or in the morning when I’m laying in bed.  When I’m on the go during the day, I don’t feel it nearly as much since she’s still very small with lighter movements.

Sleep: Not good!  I think I only sleep for like 2 hours at a time before I either wake up to turn to my other side or to go to the bathroom (mostly the latter!)

Symptoms: Overall, I’m feeling pretty decent.  I have felt the “aches and pains” earlier this time….even earlier than with Aubrey.  Since I’m not sleeping on my back or stomach, my hips are hurting from just sleeping on my sides.  This has happened with all my pregnancies so I know it’s just a part of it.

What I miss: sleeping straight through the night!  IN A MAJOR WAY.  I do not feel well rested in the mornings.

Cravings: Still craving Gringo’s!!  (Chuy’s or Lupe Tortilla would also do!)  We tried to eat dinner there on Friday night but the wait was SO long that we went somewhere else.

Best moment this week:  Feeling more kicks from our sweet baby girl!

What I am looking forward to:  Finalizing her FULL name!  She has a first name but we haven’t settled on her middle name so I'm not ready to share just yet!
