21 Weeks - Pregnancy #4

Each Monday, I'd like to do a highlights post, including a picture, summarizing the differences in my pregnancy from week to week.  I totally "grabbed" this idea from Kelly.  I've done this with my three previous pregnancies (you can go to the search box and type in "pregnancy," or "week #" if you're interested in how my previous pregnancies progressed), as well, and I still think it is a great way to jot down the things that I don't want to forget later on.  

Pregnancy Highlights:

How far along:  21 weeks 

Size of baby:  This little one is about 10 1/2 inches long (head to toe) and curled up is about the length of a carrot. 

Total weight gain/loss:  I'm up 10 pounds total as of my appointment on Friday. 

Maternity clothes:  spaghetti strap shirts, loose skirts or summery dresses, and cute/comfy shorts

Gender:  boy :) 💙

Movement:  he has been VERY active this week :)

Sleep:  Sleep has been fine except for this wretched summer cold that has taken my house by storm. 

What I miss:  Not being out of breath when I do simple things like walk quickly to another room, haha!

Cravings:  ice cream

Symptoms:  lower blood pressure which results in dizzy spells, Braxton Hicks contractions last night

Exercise:  walking a couple of times a week at the mall, 15-20 minutes of yoga stretches before bed 2-4 nights a week, 

Best moment this week:  Seeing out little guy at our specialist appointment on Tuesday :)

21 Weeks 

No picture this week. 

Even if The Husband had volunteered to take one, I would have cropped out my head anyway. 

But here's what I imagine I look like.
