21 Weeks

How far along? 21 Weeks 1 day

Size of baby? about 7 inches and 13 ounces

Total weight gain: about 2 lbs according to my scale-who knows according to the dr's scale

Maternity clothes? My sister sent me a bunch of maternity clothes that are way cuter than my regular clothes, so I've been wearing them most days. I can still fit in al my regular clothes though

Stretch marks? None, super itchy skin all the time though

Sleep: Great

 Best moment this past week: Spending the day with my little family. We really didn't do much but it was nice to have a relaxing weekend

 Miss Anything? Not really

Movement: She moves all the time and is starting to get stronger. She definitely likes kicking my bladder just like her sister did

 Food cravings: Fruit and hot chocolate yesterday and today

Anything making you queasy or sick: Just the normal morning sickness. I didn't take my pills for 2 nights and thought I was in the clear but no such luck. My body isn't quite ready to go off them yet

 Gender: Girl

Labor Signs: Nope
 
Symptoms: Last Thursday I went running with a friend and ended up having to stop halfway through because I started getting crampy and my stomach was really tight. I finished our run walking the rest of the way. I don't know if it was because I hadn't had enough to drink that day or if it was from the running itself. I was going to try again on Saturday before deciding if I should stop running but ended up going with a stroller and I didn't have the energy to do anything more than walking. I'm going again next week and then we'll see how I do
 
Belly Button in or out? In.
 
Wedding rings on or off? On.
 
Happy or Moody most of the time: Both
 
Looking forward to: taking a nap this weekend ha
 
NOT Looking forward to: I can't really think of anything right now

This pregnancy so far has been pretty good. This week I have been really tired so I've been taking it easy the past two nights. I have been able to work out almost every day this pregnancy and I'm very grateful. It's definitely helped in not gaining weight and feeling pretty good.

Riley has had a pretty good week, kind of moody but good for the most part. She's become extra clingy this week which is kind of hard when I'm trying to get something done and all she wants is for me to hold her. She's also being a bit more difficult to put to sleep. Normally she's out really quick but she is taking up to an hour this past week and she's been weird and won't sleep unless one of us is sitting by her. Since she's not in a crib she will just get up and start knocking on the door if we try leaving her. This weekend I'm going to try just letting her cry it out a bit and every time she gets out of her bed having her get back in. Not sure what would be best. I am not a fan of this stage she's going through

Tony started baseball this week. He's the freshman coach this year so that'll be good for him to have more responsibility with the boys. I'm glad he has something he loves so much and I totally support him but normally I miss him during baseball season. With him coaching freshman the games are earlier so I'm hoping maybe we'll have a bit more time during the week together. My goal this season is to be better about meal planning and preparing so we're not eating out as much as previous years
