How far along are you? 21 Weeks and 1 Day
How I'm feeling: Still great. I am so happy that I have had a great pregnancy. I wish everyone was so lucky.
Total weight gain: I have gained 5.5 pounds. I am so proud of myself. I know that gaining weight is part of growing a baby was I was deathly afraid of gaining "too much" weight.
How big is baby? Baby Hughes is the size of a pomegranate! He or she is 10-12 inches this week! Most likely Baby Hughes weighs about 12 ounces.
This week baby: Baby is still growing big and strong this week. Baby has started sucking his or her thumb and opening and closing his or her eyeballs. :)
Maternity clothes: Everyday. lol
Sleep: Sleep is still my best friend! I am once again lucky, I believe, that I can still sleep on my tummy. Baby and I get at least 9 hours of sleep a night with usually one potty break. It is fantastic.
Best moment this week: We found out what Baby Hughes is!!!! OHMYGOSH! Que the freaking choir because I am ready to scream it from the rooftops! I only have to hold it in for 32 more hours and I absolutely cannot wait!
Movement: Yes. Ryan and I both felt the baby move for the very first time together on Monday afternoon while we were sitting on our couch. The doctors and nurses say that I can't feel Baby H very much yet because of where my placenta landed. They say soon I will feel Baby H a lot more when they have less room to move due to growing. It was amazing!
Food cravings: Still Mexican food. And pasta now too. I love carbs!
Food aversions: Nope. Just the smells still.
Belly button in or out: Belly button is still in.
What I am thankful for: I am so thankful to have the best husband in the whole wide world. He is absolutely the greatest. He is all the time, but now that I am pregnant, he is even more so. I love him so!
What I'm looking forward to: The Gender Reveal Party tomorrow! I cannot wait! I will do a post on it next week hopefully. And if you are dying to know what Baby H is, make sure you tune in to IG tomorrow to find out first! :)
I know your gender reveal is tomorrow - what is your prediction though? Do you feel like it's a boy or girl!?
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh I don't know if I could keep that secret. :)
