Weeks along: 21 weeks today
Size of the baby? 3/4 of a pound and 10 1/2 inches long- about the size of a carrot
Must haves: I really haven't been having a ton of cravings, although weirdly Gatorade and Mt. Dew have been delicious treats. I really limit my caffeine, so don't have pop daily, but it's nice once in a while.
Sleep: It's getting better as I've gotten used to sleeping on my side. I'm now officially back to school, so I won't be getting as much sleep as I'd like. We'll see if I'm able to stay awake until 10:00, or if I'm asleep on the couch my 9:00.
Baby Movement: I have been feeling little flutterings in my stomach, which is definitely fun!
Gender: It's a girl!
Weight Gain: 7 pounds
Challenges: It seems like waking up at 7 this summer helped my nausea, waking up at 5:30 doesn't. I'm going to try to put off eating until 7 and see if that helps.
Best moment of the week: Finding out we're having a girl. We really just wanted a heathy baby, which she is, but having a boy and now a girl will be such a treat!
Congratulations, Ginny! Girls rock!! And I'm so glad my prediction was correct {I've been in a prediction slump lately with some of my friends}! Love the stripes on you and your bump! Enjoy your Thursday!
ReplyDeleteYay! You look great. Yay girl, too! :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on baby girl! You look amazing! Best wishes for a new school year!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on baby girl!!!! So so so excited!!
ReplyDeleteOh SO happy for you! Congrats! I have a boy first and a girl second and it's really a treat - they're SO different from each other and I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to mother them each because they definitely need different things. Yay, yay, yay! So happy for you.
ReplyDeleteYay!! That's SO exciting you're having a girl! You look great and hopefully the nausea will get better as you get used to having to get up earlier. I wish summer would last forever:)
ReplyDeleteSo excited for you! I'd love to have a girl one day!

ReplyDeleteAww, congratulations!!! So happy for you that you're having a girl. I have three and I wouldn't change a thing. You are looking great at 21 weeks.
ReplyDeleteI am so excited for you! Sorry about the nausea - I had that too and it is tough. But you are more than half way there!! Blessings for a quick and easy third trimester! Susan
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you did this update and I was so happy when I found out you were having pink. Too bad about the nausea. I experienced very little of that when I had Vivian.
