21 Weeks

How far along? 21w

Total weight gain: Umm... it was not a good week.  I gained 6 pounds.  I'm still under what I was before I got pregnant, but now only by 2 pounds.

Maternity clothes? Yes

Stretch marks? Not yet, that I've noticed.

Sleep: Not too bad this week actually.

Best moment this week: Meeting our new midwife.  I love her.  Seeing (unexpectedly) 2.0 during an ultrasound.

  Miss Anything? Wine.

Movement: Lots of kicks, rolls and flutters; it is my favorite part!  This baby never seems to sleep!

   Food cravings: Cereal, chips.  Haha so healthy.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing really at this point! 

Have you started to show yet? Yes

Gender prediction: Hmm... girl?  Yes, I think this week it's a girl.
Symptoms: At the end of the day, my back hurts pretty bad, but that's really it!

Belly Button in or out? In. It's already shallow! I think it will pop out this time, but probably not till the end.

Wedding rings on or off? On.

Happy or Moody most of the time: This was a really long week.  We had a lot of things happen!
 Looking forward to: Our anatomy scan on Tuesday! 

So... this was a super long week.  It seemed like I was playing catch up at work all week long, after being out most of last week.  We had our first appointment with the midwife on Monday, and it was amazing; I'm so glad we switched.  I love her so much;  I can already tell this was one of the best decisions we could have made and we will have a totally different experience.  She did have some trouble finding the heartbeat, which is always scary.  I was calm though since we have an at home Doppler, I'd just heard the heartbeat the day before.  It's still scary.  And having to run for a quick ultrasound isn't fun, but it was nice to see the baby!!  We have our anatomy scan on Tuesday, which Mark will miss, so I'm sad about that, but my mom is coming.  And we made a decision on our doula, and we're very happy!  All in all, it was a very eventful week!
