21 Weeks


How far along: 21 Weeks!

Baby size: 7 inches long, 11 oz (about the size of a banana)
Maternity clothes: I got a couple of shirts and a dress this week. The length of the shirts is nice even though my belly doesn't quite fill them up yet. I looked for some pants but maternity shopping in Pittsburgh is just a little limited. 
Sleep: It has been a little more difficult. I have a harder time falling asleep and am usually tired in the morning. I wake up throughout the night. But nothing too terrible. 
Gender: It's a GIRL! Big surprise for us and I can hardly wrap my mind around it. Let the clothes shopping begin!
Best moment this week: The ultrasound on Friday. It was so cool to see the baby. I loved her little hands and feet and cute little face. And the best news of all is that she is healthy. Her little heartbeat is strong. Really it was just amazing!
Looking forward to: Meeting our little girl in 19 weeks :)
What I miss: Drinking a glass of water without having to go to the bathroom three times immediately after.
Movement: Yes! Lots of little kicks and jabs. Nothing too consistent yet but there are a lot of little sporadic wiggle sessions.
Food cravings: Water. Does that count. It is getting hot in Pittsburgh and I am thirsty all the time!
Aversions: Nope.
Nursery: Oh let the games begin with this one. I am not really sure what will be going down but I think it will probably be very simple with neutral colors. No bright crazy colors or animal prints for me. Hopefully the room will be really calm.
Miscellaneous: I am just feeling really blessed to have a healthy baby. I also feel blessed that I am feeling good and have been for a while. And I am blessed to have a great husband who loves our little one and is working hard so he can provide. Life is really good.
