21 weeks

•How Far Along: 21 Weeks



•Size of baby: Length of a banana


•Total Weight Gain/Loss: Actually, none...but that works because I'm already overweight and am only supposed to gain 15-20 total.  I didn't start gaining until 3rd trimester with Kendall, so we'll see how things go.

•Maternity Clothes: Still getting use out of my Belly Band with my regular pants for work and I live in maternity jeans any other time.

•Gender: It's a girl!!  Well, the ultrasound tech was almost positive it's a girl, at least.

•Movement: Definitely...can't feel from outside quite yet, much to James' dismay.  But a couple of times a day, she gets really active.  I love it.

•Sleep:  Up to use the potty twice a night, every night...at the point where I can't sleep on my back or stomach, so side to side it is.

•What I miss: Spicy tuna rolls and a flowing fountain of diet mountain dew.

•Cravings: Grapes, bacon...not together.

•Symptoms: I feel really good...the second trimester is so amazing to me - energy, attitude back to normal, healthy appetite.

•Best Moment this week: Lots and lots of movement.

•Next up: I have my monthly appointment, with another ultrasound on 3/18...or 3/16 - I can't really remember.  Baby Mason was turned the wrong way for the tech to get all the measurements she needed last time, so I get an extra peek...praying everything looks good.

I take it back

Remember that whole "they should just send me straight to the nutritionist" thing...yeah - I take that back.  Turns out I actually PASSED my 3 hour glucose test.  I was shocked.  I had already resigned myself to a finger prickin good time.

They'll test me again at 7 months, which means I get the pleasure of doing both tests again.  So we shall see what that shows.

I'm feeling good...it's amazing to me how much more normal I feel in the 2nd trimester.  Both times it's like I went to bed this queasy, irritable, non motivated hot mess and woke up energized, hungry and much more cheerful pregnant lady.  I still cry easily, but truthfully, I think I'm just a cry baby in my old age...not sure it has too much to do with the baby.
