21


sweet 21.
eating like crazy. on my feet everyday like crazy. exhausted like crazy. eager to hold my girl.
Jeremy wants to get me some "maternity stockings" aka ted hose, to help with my venous return. Which is so sweet and thoughtful since I spend 2 nine-hour days at the hospital and 2 eight-hour days at work a week.
anyways, super excited for and looking forward to another doc appt. this friday, and we are celebrating v-day early this saturday!!
I've made two dinners in the last week, and that might not sound impressive... but it IS!
I'm in an excellent mood as I type and that's about all I have to report! ;)

How far along? 21 weeks
Total weight gain: 16 pounds. I debated about sharing this, but why not? it's out in the open now, and my excellent mood isn't going to let me stress over it.
Maternity clothes? maternity shirts, and I can still proudly wear my skinny jeans without alterations!!! but since I have work/clinicals so much, I'm always just wearing scrubs.
Stretch marks? nope!
Sleep: sometimes great, sometimes achy.
Best moment this week: feeling my babe kick constantly and being able to sleep!
Miss Anything? being able to stand up like a normal person haha.
Movement:  oh yes.
Food cravings: not much lately... except maybe zupas!!
Anything making you queasy or sick: nothing in specific, it just kinda comes on at random times!
Gender: girl. :)
Labor Signs: nope!
Symptoms: just getting bigger, back and lower belly cramps, exhaustion, etc.
Belly Button in or out? in (barely though!!)
Wedding rings on or off? on

Happy or Moody most of the time: happy!
Looking forward to: summer!!!

  1. You are so cute! Hopefully you can withstand being on your feet for a few more months, otherwise, let's find you a job where you lay in bed (looking for that as well)! You look great!

  2. The weight gain thing is scary isn't it?! Just ignore the numbers and know you're growing a healthy babe!
