Miss Anything? Rare Steaks.
Movement: So much movement! It's getting almost painful.
Food cravings: I neeeeeeded a corn dog this week. When the poor lady at Carl's Jr. told me they do not offer corn dogs, I about had a compete melt down.
Anything making you queasy or sick: I had a horrible run in with some hot wings this week. It was the worst day of my life.

How far along? 21 weeks
Size of baby? The size of a carrot, about 10.5 inches long
Total weight gain/loss: I'm not sure what my weight gain, I will see at my Dr. appt. this week.
Maternity clothes? I was determined to make it to at least 20 weeks before trying any official "maternity clothes." The second I put on those stretchy pants from Target, I had tears in my eyes. HOLY COW I've never been so comfortable. I am struggling with the idea of buying more maternity clothes though. I find it silly to buy clothes I will only wear for the next 5 months.
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: I've been sleeping okay recently. The hardest thing for me is sore hips. I can't lay on one side for too long or my hips feel like they just might crumble.
Best moment this week: Painting Baby Boy's nursery!
Miss Anything? Not this week
Movement: I feel like his movement has slowed down this week. I usually feel him the most when I'm laying down and I haven't been doing that much, so maybe that's why.
Food cravings: Sushi will always be here. I need it delivered to the hospital room the second this boy is out.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not anything in patricular. I haven't barfed in a long time, which is nice. However I've started to get the headaches. I was never a "headache person", I didn't get them very often. But now that I'm getting these horribly strong headaches, its pretty rough.
Have you started to show yet: Yes, but still hangin' low.
Gender: Boy
Labor Signs: Nope, but I read you can start experiencing Braxton Hicks as early as 21 weeks. WHAT. Not okay with that.
Belly Button in or out? In. But getting scarily more and more shallow every day. My friend's mom suggested I tape a penny over it. What in the world?
Wedding rings on or off? On, still loose.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy, but tired. A little overwhelmed. (Let's be honest, alotta overwhelmed. Having a baby is overwhelming okay?!)
How Toby is handling the baby: He still likes to lay his chin on my belly every night to get kicked in the face.
Weekly Wisdom: Open the window when painting the nursery. Don't be dumb and wait until you're woozy to remember you need ventilation.
Looking forward to: My next Dr's appointment where we find out if anything funky showed up on our anatomy scan.
