Total weight gain/loss: Had my monthly appointment this past Tuesday and I had gained 8 pounds in the 5 weeks between appointments! Yikes! That puts me up to 10 pounds total.
Maternity clothes: Dresses are still my favorite...and now that my summer break has officially began I can wear comfy clothes all day long. Score!
Stretch marks: No new ones just yet
Sleep: I'm getting plenty right now
Best moment this week: We had our "real" ultrasound/appointment this past Tuesday and everything looked great! We got confirmation that we are, indeed, having a BOY. He was healthy and very active...all that we could ever hope for!
Movement: On my last post I said something like "holy cow, he's a mover!" and boy was I right! During our ultrasound the tech mentioned no less than 4 times how active he was, how most babies don't move around that much at 21 weeks, etc. He was moving the whole time...it was quite a show!
Food cravings: still no "cravings", just mainly preferences and aversions. I'll like something just find one day and then 3 days later it makes me want to vomit. Slightly annoying, but oh well.
Gender: he's most definitely a BOY! Mr. Elijah
Labor signs: nope
Belly button in or out: I'll always have an inny
What I miss: not having constant tailbone pain. I broke my tailbone many years ago & I re-agitated it while working out a few months ago & it hasn't healed. I am in constant pain. My dr. gave me a prescription for a pain killer that is safe to take while pregnant but said we needed to look into steroid injections if they don't help. I'm praying they help take the edge off because I really don't want those injections.
What I am looking forward to: looking for boy stuff! The bedding, decorations, clothes, etc are a whole new ballgame for me!
Weekly wisdom: If I am going to sit for an extended period of time I need to have a pillow to sit on. bleh
Milestone: Over half way there!! |
