21 Weeks Pregnancy Update

April 4, 2018
How far along:
21 weeks

Baby is the size of a:
Carrot or a baseball hat. That’s pretty big!

Total weight gain:
21lbs

Maternity Clothes?
Still wearing both

Stretch Marks?
Not yet.

Sleep?
Weird and vivid dreams and getting up once for the bathroom. I also feel like I don’t get any deep sleep anymore, every time I need to turn, I wake up. 

Best moment of the Week:
Katie coming home and celebrating Easter with Fox. I can’t believe we will have another child next Easter and I already ordered his Easter basket! We also did a little bit of baby shopping this week, it was the very last day our Babies R us was open and they had everything 85% off. It was kind of sad leaving that store for the very last time, because I have so many good memories going there…from creating our first registry and baby shopping for Fox to safety and breastfeeding classes. I really liked that store!

Movement:
All the time, especially when I lay down at night. 

Food Cravings:
Salad this week. 

Belly Button in or out:
In, but definitely flattening out. 

Gender:
Sweet baby boy!

Symptoms:
Nothing new. 

Anything Making you queasy or Sick?
Nothing. So grateful for the way I feel right now!

Have you Started to Show yet?
Depending on what I wear that day, I can either look super pregnant or not pregnant at all! Comparing the belly bump to Fox’s pregnancy, I feel like they’re about the same size. 

What I miss:
Sleeping through the night and some days I really crave soda. 

What I'm looking forward to:
Starting on the nursery! Unfortunately, our contractor is on vacation right now, so he hasn’t even come over yet. 

What I'm not looking forward to:
Nothing.

    I think you are definitely showing and have the last couple of updates! I am a baby belly fan though so perhaps I have an eye for it lol.

    We are sad about our Toys R Us closing too đŸ˜•

    Look at that beautiful belly! I've been reading your updates from my iphone and I always mean to comment but I don't get back to it (until now!). We're so sad about Toys R Us and Babies R Us too! They sent Gracie a coupon for her birthday and it made me sad that this would be the last year we could take her there with her birthday money to pick a toy. I can't believe you're already 21 weeks! Time is flying!

August iPhone dump

A few of my favorite moments from August! Meet the teacher for the boys! I received this picture from Katie's wife, such a sweet bond they have. I'm also loving how his pajamas are inside out...haha. Walter came back to spend a few days with us! We watched him last summer, and the boys kept talking about him, so we were all so excited when his mom asked us to watch him for a few days. Notice Finn pouting. He was upset that Walter "only pays attention to Fox". So many big emotions in such a tiny body. Mr. Cool Guy at his dentist check up and teeth cleaning! I was trying to get some work done in my office, but this guy needed some attention. Finn made a bed for them, so they could sleep together. In the end, no one wanted to sleep there, but he was so happy to cuddle with Walter for a bit. My friend got me some comedy tickets to see "Nurse John", so I invited my two besties, and two of my old classmates, and we had a blast, he was so funny. We even got VIP acc...

May iPhone dump

Some of my favorite moments of May that haven't made it on the blog yet. May has been such an incredible month and I wish I could turn back time and do it all over again. Between graduating from nursing school and all the celebrations that came with that, Fox's 10th birthday, Finn's Kindergarten graduation, and all the sweet little moments in between, it was a month I will never forget.  Kindergarten Homework for this cutie, he is very smart, but hates doing it. This was my favorite view at school, right when you exited the building. This was the place where we met up with friends during breaks, and after every exam, and I wanted to take a picture to remember this special place.  Making paper airplanes has been a new favorite for him. This was two days before I took my final exam, and I probably should've been studying, but having an ice cream date with the boys sounded much more fun. He loves to make us laugh. While Finn and I were getting ready for bed, I asked him to...

December iPhone dump

December came and went in a flash! We visited Santa! I started a new job in November as a patient care technician in the Oncology unit at the hospital I'm hoping to get hired by after I graduate. I have heard from many people that this hospital usually hires nurses from within, so I wanted to get my foot in the door, and also gain some more experience before graduating. I was really nervous about handling two 12 hour days per week, on top of school and sharing custody of the kids, and while it hasn't been easy, it has been very rewarding. I love the unit I'm on, the patients, the people I work with, and it's a very humbling experience to work in Oncology.  I took a screen shot of my activity after one of my shifts, I usually average between 7.5-9.5 miles per day, just from walking all over the unit.  The boys are playing bar with their cousin at Grandma's house.  We celebrated their cousin's first birthday! S'mores in the backyard. Nikolaus (a german traditi...
