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!

July iPhone dump

The rest of our July in pictures! Movie date with the boys! I took Finn and his best friend to the Aquarium one day, while Fox was at the allergist with Katie. They both had a blast. Trying to touch the sting rays... Sweet brotherly moment at a play place. One of my patients made this for me, and it made my day. It's now hanging from the mirror in my car, as a reminder how fragile life is. This kid kills me with his watermelons. He always wants to buy them, so he can help me cut them, but then won't eat them. When I pointed this out to him, he simply replied that I could take the watermelon to my co-workers again because they love it when I do.  Fox told me he is allergic to Goodwill and puts on this big act whenever I make them go. His throat starts to be itchy and he can't breathe. We might have to get him tested again...hahaha. We visited a lot of play places this summer to stay out of the heat. This was at a library and the kids played with this lite-brite forever. Finn...

March iPhone dump

A look back at the month of March! Fox and I had a few hours to ourselves while Finn was at a birthday party, and he wanted to go shopping at Target and get some Starbucks. Sounds like my kind of date! This is where you can find him most days, playing games with his friends online, while simultaneously being on facetime with them. When did he get so big? Family game night outside! My sour patch kid. He told me he will still cuddle with me until he is 42...haha! I've been having a really hard time sharing parenting time lately. It kills me every time when I have to drop them off every other week for a stretch of five days, and I have been getting anxiety attacks. I know they are well taken care of, I know they have fun there and don't even think about me, but it still sucks. Whenever I'm not with them, I'm at work, and I guess it's just been extra hard because I never had to be away from them as much as I have since becoming a nurse.  Fox brought this home from schoo...
