What's baby up to this week? She is the size of a carrot, measuring 10 1/2" long and weighs three quarters of a pound. Her eyebrows and eyelids are present and her vagina has begun to form. She's also beginning to produce the lovely meconium that daddy will have to deal with! Haha
What's been going on with mom? Was still SUPER sick all week. It would not go away. Blowing my nose and running and feeling just run down. It SUCKED! The heat index is rising also which is making sleep even harder to come by. Slept most of the day on Tuesday and again on Thursday to try and beat this illness. I hate being sick in summer.
Symptoms: Starting to have trouble sleeping just because of getting comfortable as well. I may need to bust out the pregnancy pillow, but it's TOO HOT! Heartburn is coming back.....have tums in my purse for after lunch since I can't seem to find anything to eat. Having pretty inconsistent cramping high in my tummy, and the doctor said I should be feeling braxton hicks already so that explains that. Round ligament pain is pretty bad when you are coughing and sneezing and then your bottom half feels like it wants to separate from you. UGH! Second baby is no joke!
Yummy/Icky: Watermelon is back on the list. The tea cravings have waned a little and I really want root beer and ice cream.....maybe because its so hot! Other than that my sweet tooth is just raging and I want to try and curb it.
Clothing: All maternity on the bottom for work but trying to find something comfy to wear to sleep in is difficult. Did manage to get a couple pairs of shorts, a pair of capri's and a sweater that was on clearance for the fall/winter.
Movement: Definitely feeling her rather consistently. She gets shy when daddy tries to feel her though. I think she senses when I am home. When I was off on Thursday she kicked and kicked consistently all day. Like she knows when I am relaxed and not at work. Mostly get movements at lunchtime and after dinner....typical. But sometimes she kicks early in the morning and in the car on the way to work.
Belly Button In/Out: It's in but it looks weird in shirts. Very hollow and taking on a strange shape.
Wedding Rings On/Off: On but tight.....typical when the summer heat rises.
Best Moment this Week: Hearing her heartbeat (146) at my doctors appointment and hearing that she is growing perfectly! Makes momma happy.
Looking forward to: Settling on a name. I am set on a middle name, but it's coming up with a first that both daddy and mommy like. Hey we may just dump all the contenders in a cup and let Emma pick! Haha.
21 weeks with Emma!
