How Far Along? 21
Weeks
Total Weight Gain:
4 pounds
Have You Started to
Show? Yes
Stretch Marks?
None so far
Belly Button? In,
thank goodness!
Maternity Clothes?
No new clothes this week. I think I will wait to purchase clothes again until I
need fall and winter clothes. I have my eye on some Citizen and Joes maternity
jeans from Nordstrom.
Symptoms: My SI
joint is still soar but getting better with my chiropractic and acupuncture
treatments.
Movement? Our
little man is super active! He loves to kick, punch and flip around in what I
like to refer to as his own personal "jungle gym".
Sleep? I have had
some really great nights of sleep this week and a few not so great nights. I
have been waking up hungry early in the morning so I started taking a small
bowl of blueberries to bed with me to munch on when I wake up.
Exercise? Yoga
and walking are my go to exercises of choice. My yoga instructor has been on
vacation this week so my prenatal class was cancelled. I really love my
prenatal class so I can’t wait for Jessica to be back!
Food Cravings:
Peaches and pea pods. I also love to dip my pea pods in hummus!
Food Aversions:
Chicken – no surprise there!
Happy or Moody?
Happy! So happy! I love being pregnant. I did have a few moments this week
where I realized that I am already over halfway through and it made me a little
sad. The time is just flying by!
Miss Anything?
Motorcycle rides with my hubby! Nick and I are really missing our motorcycle
rides before dark! Nick has a beautiful Big Dog Mastiff custom chopper and it
is so fun to go on rides in the summer! I can’t wait to get back on his bike
next summer!
Nursery Progress:
I received my order from Kate Quinn Organics this week! All the clothes I
bought from the warehouse sale are so adorable and I just love the soft organic
cotton! My order of Cloth-eez Workhorse newborn organic cotton diapers from Green Mountain Diapers also arrived this week! They are so small and so cute! I can’t wait to
start cloth diapering!
Best Moment This
Week: Feeling all the movement from our little man! Nick has been able to
feel him move a ton this week. He has also been able to see him kick from the
outside! I was lying on the couch this week with my head in Nick’s lap and I
saw him kick! I was so excited so I pulled up my shirt so Nick could see and we
just sat and watched him kick and punch for several minutes! It is so amazing!
Looking Forward to:
Stating our HypnoBirthing classes! We signed up for a 5-week course at Inland HypnoBirthing that starts
on September 13th and we are really excited to start our
HypnoBirthing exercises. Our instructor, Mary Long, mailed us our book,
HypnoBirthing, The Mongan Method, by Marie Mongan. We started reading it this
week and so far we are learning a lot and really enjoying it.
