How far along? 21 Weeks 4 days
Baby Length: about 10 1/2 inches long
Baby Weight: around 3/4 of a pound
Baby is as long as: A Carrot
Weight gain/loss: I have some fluctuation day to day...up a lb then down a lb, but overall I am still up about 10 lbs. Total gain is 10.4 lbs since pre-pregnancy 130 lbs to 140.4 lbs - most of which is in my backside.
Maternity clothes? NopeStretch marks? I feel like the ones on my butt from earlier in life have gotten a little worse, but no new ones on the belly.
Sleeping? Sleeping okay these days. I still wake up quite a few times to pee or roll over, but the sleep seems like good sleep. I wake up early and have a hard time falling back asleep sometimes.
Best moment this week: This week has been a rough one with all the stress at the new house. I'd have to say the best moment was when I scheduled a pregnancy massage today for next Tuesday. That will be nice.
Miss anything? Not being stressed out with a to do list that doesn't quit.
Feel any movement? Some days more than others. I will have days where the baby is all over the place, and then the next day there is little to no movement. I'm trying not to let this create worry as I've heard its very normal at this stage to have unpredictable baby activity.

Food cravings: Ben & Jerry's Greek Frozen Yogurt. You have to try this stuff!! Expensive, but so delicious...and it has less fat that regular ice cream with 6 grams of Protein per serving. And since I'm eating 2 servings any time I have it :) I'm getting at least 12 grams of protein! My favorites so far have been the Strawberry short cake and the Raspberry Fudge Chunk. Yum! Yum! Yum! Weight gain will surely resume this week thanks to Ben and/or Jerry.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Feeling pretty good these days!
Gender: Jake still thinks its a girl but we elected not to find out the baby's sex at the scan. Dr. Mann did confirm that the baby's "good" looked perfect appropriate.
Labor Signs: None.
Symptoms: Bloated, Cellulitey, a Break-out here and there and STRESSED OUT! Damn short sales!
Belly Button? In
Wedding rings? On and fitting a bit better.
Happy or Moody? Happy and Blessed. But very very stressed these days. The new house we purchased is going to be great someday...and we're trying to make a lot of improvements up front, but unfortunately, we just can't afford to do it all. The house was designed with too much space in rooms you don't need it and not enough space in rooms where you do. We also had the addition of the AC not being able to cool the house (we have 3 units and all of them are from the 80's) and the city of Atlanta wouldn't leave the water on because they said the meter was running due to a leak. So we have a plumber come out and low and behold we have a water main break/leak somewhere in the front yard near the house. We purchased a home warranty from American Home Shield thinking that would somewhat protect us from the unknown stuff going wrong at a house that we knew hadn't been well-maintained for years, but we are learning very quickly that the home warranty really covers NOTHING! If your AC is running...really if it isn't blowing much cool air, they say that is functioning and not covered. A water leak from a pipe a few feet off your house...even though its technically part of your house....isn't covered because its outside the foundation of the home. The fine print goes on and on and on. It will all work out, it just makes for a very bumpy ride!
Please excuse the big zit on my chin!
