21 weeks

May 31, 2011 by · 11 Comments





How far along?: 21w 



How big is baby?: The length of a carrot and about 3/4 of a pound. 

Weight gain/loss?: Back to where I started. 

Stretch marks?: I should change this to say, besides the few that Brayden left, none. 

Maternity clothes?: Most of my pants I am wearing are maternity, but I am still mixing and matching tops. 

Sleep?: Sleep has been horrible this week. My hubby is getting over bronchitis and is coughing a lot at night. :(

Food cravings?: still cold cereal and string cheese. 

Gender?: see below :)

Movement?: Yep! Baby is a mover and a shaker! Still feels like flutters, but they are slowly getting more intense. I notice them a LOT more in the evenings when I finally sit down for the day.

Belly button?: Still flat on top. Still weird. 

What are you looking forward to this week?: Our anatomy scan this week! :) I love getting to see our little peanut!

Baby’s flutters will be turning into sharper kicks and punches as he/she grows. I remember watching my stomach almost ripple with motion when I was pregnant with Brayden- so I am excited for some of this! Also, baby’s eyebrows and eyelids are developed now! 


In fun, decorating news, I purchased a really great sea green colored table from my aunt over the weekend for baby’s room. 


Oh, which means I should tell you…


We have known what we are having since week 14! But my father-in-law wasn’t sure he wanted to know until he knew that we knew. Follow me? Anyways, baby is a….
GIRL!!!

At my 14 week appointment, I had to have an ultrasound because the doctor couldn’t get a heartbeat since baby was still hiding under my C-section scar. When the tech asked if we were planning to find out the sex, I said yes, but Brandon wasn’t with me at that appointment. The tech took a look, showed me, and said 85% sure. I had a dream the other night that at our appt this week, baby turned into a boy- but since I saw it for myself, I am pretty darn confident that baby is indeed, a sweet little girl. We are over the moon excited, and I am SO glad I can finally blog about it. Crib bedding has been purchased, as well as some clothes and blankets- and I can’t wait to share it all with you!
