Alright, so we stink at keeping up with this whole picture taking thing. You'd think that taking one picture of my belly a week wouldn't be that hard to keep up with, but somehow we're having trouble. Don't worry, I'll make up for it in millions of pictures of the little guy once he's here. :)
I think my belly is quickly popping out though, or at least it feels like it. My muscles feel like I've been doing sit-ups and side crunches 24/7. These "round ligament pains" as the nurse so politely described them don't play around. They can really hurt!
As much as these aches and pains are a pain in the butt, I could not be happier for the reason that I even have them in the first place. I have our son growing inside me. I'm pretty sure that's the best thing ever...
How far along? 21 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss: gained at least 8
Maternity clothes? my jeans are officially retired :( I've been rocking the sweatpants. Thank goodness I can wear them to work. One of the parents in my classroom just gave me 3 bags full of maternity clothes, so I'm sure I'll be wearing those once this belly finally comes in!
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: No bueno, yet I somehow feel rested enough each day. Between going to the bathroom, Stephen's snoring and these round ligament pains, I don't sleep for long before something wakes me up.
Best moment this week: All the movement. He is such a wiggle worm! I feel him tossing, turning, kicking and throwing punches all the time!
Miss Anything? just sleeping in later than 7:30. I wake up bright and early no matter what time I go to bed.
Movement: LOTS...I sense years of chasing this little guy down...
Food cravings: Sweets maybe? mostly baked goods...I could eat donuts, brownies and cake/ice cream all day.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Salad
Have you started to show yet: A bit. I think I'm finally starting to pop!
Gender: BOY!
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy
Looking forward to: Registering. I told myself once I was done with conferences at work,
we could go register. I'm using that as my motivation to get portfolios finished. It seems to
be working quite well. (Although I have convinced Stephen just to go "look" at baby stores)
