21 Weeks

How far along? 21 weeks

Total weight gain:6 pounds (I feel like the weight is coming on really fast right now and I don't like it)

Maternity clothes? I can get away with non-maternity shirts and dresses sometimes.  I did put on a sweater on Monday and it didn't even cover my belly though.

Stretch marks? None that I can see, but I can't see many parts of my belly so who knows.

Sleep: I'm still tired all of the time.

Best moment this week: The ultrasound!  I loved seeing how big our little guy or girl has gotten.  It was also pretty fun to watch Bryan squirm during the parts that we had to look away from the screen so we wouldn't accidentally see if baby O'Connor is a boy or a girl. 

Miss Anything? Alcohol (yup still miss it)!

Movement: Most of the movement has been in the morning and I've also noticed it in the car.  I'm not sure if that's because I've been spending a lot of time in the car or if the baby just happens to move in the car.  

Food cravings: I must confess, I ate cheese fries for lunch on Friday (I guess now I know where those extra pounds are coming from).  I also got oysters this week so I can't think of any real cravings.

Food aversions: I've been good lately.

Gender: No clue, but lots of guesses!  I got my first stranger comment on Monday and the lady asked if I knew what the baby was yet and I said no, we aren't finding out and she said oh, well it's a boy.  

Labor Signs: Nope. 

Symptoms: My back hurts by the end of the day and I have to put my feet up to get any relief.

Belly Button in or out? Still in for now!

Wedding rings on or off? On. 

Looking forward to?  Only a few days left at work then Bryan and I get a nice long break.
