How far along? 21 weeks! Baby is the size of a carrot or a pomegranate. Somehow those two things are not the same size to me. Who knows!
Total weight gain/loss: Won't officially know again until November 13th at my next appt unless they weigh me at my ultrasound this Friday. Probably still up 5-7 lbs.
Maternity clothes? some maternity jeans and a few maternity stretchy tops but mainly just wearing my regular clothes still. They look a little different on these days ;)
Stretch marks? None yet...hoping it stays this way! My stomach isn't as itchy as it was, but I have also been upping my belly butter game. We will see. I'm hoping for none.
Sleep: Sleeping great....and just fine with going to bed before 9:30 every night :)
Best moment this week?: Feeling the baby move. Best feeling EVER.
Miss Anything? I can honestly say I don't :) I've had such a wonderful, amazing experience. I'm enjoying every second. It's going by so quickly. I know all the things I may "miss" will come back around too soon.
Movement: Everyday his movements get more and more noticeable. It is so crazy to me how fast he is growing. I can actually FEEL him getting stronger each day. I'm gonna need him to slow his roll a little bit. Before I know it he'll be skipping off to college. Slow down, kid!
Food cravings: cereal. Breakfast, lunch and dinner it sounds so good.
Anything making you queasy or sick: none
Have you started to show yet: definitely! He is really starting to make himself known. Strangers and people who don't know i'm pregnant at work have definitely started to notice. It's so funny because some people are scared to ask so they will just kind of dance around the question like "you have any big life changes going on lately?" or "Are y'all planning on having kids any time very, very soon?" It cracks me up!
Gender: A perfect, sweet, healthy baby BOY!
Labor Signs: oh no... It will be so crazy when this answer is yes! I hope not for a good, long while.
Belly Button in or out? In...but already getting more shallow.....really shallow. The top has started to pop a little bit. Isn't it a little early for this?! :-/
Wedding rings on or off? On and loose
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy, happy, happy!
Looking forward to: Our anatomy ultrasound on the 23rd and our 4 year anniversary TOMORROW! Time flies.
How far along? 20 whole weeks! Baby is the size of a banana! Things are moving so quickly... I can't believe we're already halfway done. I am so grateful that the first half of my pregnancy has been such a breeze and I am praying the second half is the same! I don't think pregnancy is technically supposed to be this easy, but I'm definitely not complaining and I'll take it! ;)
Total weight gain/loss: up 5 lbs from my pre pregnancy weight at my appointment last thursday! Not bad! But, I'm not gonna lie....I feel like a little piggie. I definitely FEEL like I've gained more, but I think i'm just not used to having a belly yet ;)
Maternity clothes? Maternity jeans when I wear them, which isn't often because I get really uncomfortable...other than that, just wearing my normal shirts and tanks. The nice thing about Fall is that I already wear baggy/loose shirts and sweaters...so now, they're just a little more snug.
Stretch marks? None yet...hoping it stays this way! Comeeeee onnnnn Mama Bee!
Sleep: Sleeping great....and just fine with going to bed before 9:30 every night :)

Miss Anything? My sister's wine smelled really good Saturday night, but I can't say I necessarily miss it. I know I'll be back in the game in no time! ;)
Movement: I haven't felt anything...until today! Baby did 3 BIG rolls today and Cliff just happened to be home and felt 2 of them. It was so sweet. I haven't felt him since, though. I hope they'll become more regular soon.

How far along? 19 weeks! What?! Baby is the size of a zucchini or a gameboy, for good measure.

Stretch marks? None yet, but LOTS of itching on my stomach. Trying to be better about lathering up and drinking lots of water!
Sleep: Sleeping great....and just fine with going to bed before 9:30 every night :)
Best moment this week?: chopping about 5 inches off my hair... I feel like a new woman! And baking a big pan of brownies :)
Miss Anything? Being able to work out like I want to.. But i haven't even been doing light exercises, so I have no room to complain
Movement: a few flutters, but nothing very noticeable... getting verrrrrrry anxious for some real movements. I've heard 1st time moms it can take a while longer, but I was expecting to feel something by now because our baby is so active. Hopefully within the next week or two

Stretch marks? None yet!
Sleep: Sleeping great....I do wake up really early but I'm sure that's from going to bed so early.
Best moment this week?: Getting everything together for our gender reveal THIS weekend!...Whaaaaat?! And getting the results from our quad screen back... It was negative! yay!
Miss Anything? Missing not worrying about every.little.thing. But, I don't see that stopping.....ever.
Movement: I've thought I felt a few things, but it was very faint and It could have been anything. I'm excited for when they get more prominent! My stomach does get lopsided already, though! I can definitely tell when the baby is on one side or another. I didn't think that would happen so soon!
Food cravings: Grits with butter
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not this week!
Have you started to show yet: Definitely have a little belly that I cannot suck in, now.

Total weight gain/loss: up 3.2 pounds since my first dr. appointment!
Maternity clothes? I've been wearing maternity jeans because my other ones are too tight, but the maternity ones are way too big in the waist so i've just been belting them! I'm sure it won't be long until they fit better, though ;)
Stretch marks? None yet!
Sleep: Sleeping great and the getting up to pee a million times has tapered off. I have slept all the way through the night the past 2 nights. Yay!
Best moment this week?: Our Dr. appointment and getting a 64gb iPhone 6... I think i'll probably be needing the extra storage for all the baby pictures coming up! :) Also finding 2 potential dresses for our gender reveal! Now to decide on the pink one or the blue one.....
Miss Anything? Starting to miss being able to have a few drinks during football games, but i'll just have to find something else to occupy my time :) like eating!
Movement: None yet! My doctor asked me if I have felt anything yet, so that must mean I will soon! so exciting.
Food cravings: Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate from Dunkin' Donuts. yum!

Total weight gain/loss: not sure and I probably won't know until September 11th at my doctor appointment! I don't weight myself at home and don't trust the scales at work :)
Maternity clothes? I've bought a few staple pieces, but don't need them just yet. I am looking for some bigger bras today, though because these girls are out.of.control.
Stretch marks? None- lathering up!
Sleep: Sleeping great aside from getting up 287836 times a night to pee. I thought that didn't start until much later. I was wrong!
Best moment this week?: Buying some cute fall clothes and getting really excited for legging season! Stretchy pants for life.
Miss Anything? Nothing noticeable really. Maybe just being able to do things without thinking about if it's okay or not. Also not sneezing a million times a day. I'm not sure if that's a pregnancy thing or not but its definitely not a norm for me.
Movement: None yet! My apps say I should maybe start feeling some within the next 3ish weeks or so. So exciting!
Food cravings: I became really excited about attending 2 birthday parties this weekend.....because cake and ice cream. It did not disappoint!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not this week! Thank goodness! I was picking a rotisserie chicken last night to make soup for my sick husband :( and the chicken really started to gross me out. But I ate the soup just fine
Have you started to show yet: I feel like I definitely have started to! The people that see me everyday are starting to notice. I think random people probably just think I have zero abdominal muscles and indulge in one too many cupcakes.
