Week 21 is almost to an end. This week was really the first week where I've felt pregnant and big. And I realize several weeks to go, but my belly is starting to really be there. We had a low key week this week, with the normal work stuff. Since being cleared by my dr. i've started lightly working out again with some long walks with Brisco. It's amazing how in just four weeks you can lose your stamina - and with the addition of Baby Girl makes it a little more difficult to keep going.
Stretch marks? No - using the cocoa butter every day that Lorin gave me!
Sleep: Continue to be uncomfortable, even with a sea of pillows around me I can't seem to find the right position.
Best moment this week: Getting outside for a nice walk.
Miss Anything? Beer, my office had a couple happy hours and I missed being able to relax after a day with a nice cold beer.
Movement: Lots this week!
Food cravings: Continues to be sweets, chocolate, cookies, Ice cream.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not anymore
Have you started to show yet: Yep! trying to adjust to my new shape
Gender: Girl
Labor Signs: No
Anything swollen? Not yet - but considering buying compression socks.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!
Looking forward to: Ordering some furniture for the nursery.
21 Weeks
Over the weekend we started to get back in gear with getting your nursery all together. We made the venture to Ikea to look at some closet options for how we are going to organize your closet. And I also bought some spice racks that I'm going to get really crafty and turn into a book wall. All I need is for your Nana to come home so she can spray paint them for me :) We had a great night that night at dinner with our friends Josh and Bekah. It was so fun to catch up with them and hear all about their wedding plans. Sadly I might have to miss the big event since it's 4 days after your due.... we've talked it out and we'll hope that I can be there but they totally understand that might not happen.
Sunday was a day for relaxing which is just what we did. It was finally warm enough to enjoy being outside.. is it sad that in Chicago we think warm is high 40's? Either way Dave, Brisco and I headed out to enjoy the lakefront and our usual 2 mile walk, we had a great time! It also got me so excited that in just a few months I'll be enjoying those walks with my baby girl!!
Walk on the Lake
Next week I promise to include some images of the nursery ideas!
How far along? 21 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 8+ lbs gained so far
Maternity clothes? Yes, I just discovered BeBand from Target which is the best invention ever. Goes over your pre-pregnancy pants so you can still wear them without them falling off!!Stretch marks? No - using the cocoa butter every day that Lorin gave me!
Sleep: Continue to be uncomfortable, even with a sea of pillows around me I can't seem to find the right position.
