21 Weeks!

How far along? 21 weeks

Total weight gain: I'm not 100% sure what I weighed pre-pregnancy, but I think I'm up about 10 lbs so far. 

Maternity clothes? I really would like to be able to wear leggings as pants everyday. The 4K-ers wouldn't mind, but my principal probably would :) 

Stretch marks? Still nothing so far. Everything I've read said there's basically nothing I can do to prevent them and they are probably genetic. I put coconut oil or lotion on my belly pretty much just in case. . . it also feels good to be moisturized since it's been so dry lately! 

Sleep: It's been getting slightly more uncomfortable. I can't really sleep on my tummy at all but still attempt a weird side/tummy thing sometimes. . . we'll see how long that lasts. I've also been having super weird and/or vivid dreams more often.  A couple nights ago I had a dream that I had a weird baby with a mermaid syndrome. Her legs were kind of fused together and she had fin-like feet. She needed lots of therapy and it was just a weird dream. Haha! 

Best moment this week: The anatomy ultrasound :) Finding out we're having a girl and getting to see her was awesome. 

Miss Anything? Energy. I've mentioned before how I like to be on the go- I'm typically someone who wakes up, start my day, and I don't really stop until I go to bed. Well now, I get up and would like to take a nap around 1:00 and then want to lay on the couch when I get home from school. Dan loves it because he is not an on-the-go type of person. 
Movement: Yep! I feel kicks, punches, and other body parts wiggling around in there! If I'm laying down, being very still, and paying attention, I can feel the big movements on the outside!

Food cravings: Custard. Donuts. The usual. . .   

Anything making you queasy or sick: Same thing- cooking bacon and cigarette smoke 

Gender: Ok, so I just want to be technical for a second. Gender is something that a person chooses/feels about himself/herself/themselves (you get it). Sex is what you can see anatomy/organ-wise. So we found out that the sex of our baby is a girl! :) 

Labor Signs: I hope I have no signs anytime before I'm supposed to.  

Belly Button in or out? Innie still.  

Wedding rings on or off? On.

Happy or Moody most of the time: I've been happy lately! Sometimes I get so happy that I want to cry (ok, so that might count as moodiness. . .)

Looking forward to: Christmas break! I have a day and a half left this week, then school all next week- then it's two weeks off!
