21 weeks

How far along? 21 weeks

Size of baby: He is about the length of a carrot.

What's baby up to? His skin has changed from being translucent to opaque as the skin cells grown and stretch in preparation for the fat deposits, which will soon form under baby's skin. As he grows, his wake and sleep cycle begin to form. Mom's activity level and eating patterns are normally what rules his, as he can now hear all that does on around him. It is now that we'll start to find out if we have a night owl or an early bird.

Total weight gain/loss: +14 lbs.

Pregnancy symptoms: Getting bigger and getting harder to move around, I know this is just the beginning.

Maternity clothes? Yes, but still ok on larger sized regular clothes too.

Stretch marks? No

Sleep: Gone ok this past week. Been really tired though, where is this second trimester energy???

Best moment this past week: Of course finding out our little 'it' is a he. The hubby got to feel baby move last Thursday night and his eyes lit up, it was very sweet.

Miss Anything? Not really, but a cold beer sure does sound good.

Movement: Nope

Food Cravings:  Nada

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope, doing pretty good here.

Have you started to show yet: Yes, for sure.

Gender predictions: It's a boy!

Labor sigs: No

Belly Button in or out: In

Wedding rings on or off: On

Happy or Moody: Happy and irritated.

Weekly Wisdom: Be prepared for the onslaught of phone calls, emails and messages when you announce baby gender. It was a bit overwhelming, but we felt very loved that so many were excited to know too.

Looking forward to: Picking out the nursery.
