21 Week Update

How far along? 21 Weeks :)

Heartbeat? 152 bpm at our last visit at 18 weeks

Total weight gain? +12 lbs

Maternity clothes? Probably about 50/50 now…pants are either worn with bella band or maternity.  I think this may just be because I am short, but I am not a huge fan of the Bella Band.  I think it is too long for my body and I have to fold it over or it ends up bunching and causing wrinkles under my clothes.  I can still wear most of my shirts, but they are getting shorter & shorter :)  I am sticking to longer tops or maternity tops because as much as I hate seeing bare midriffs, a bare midriff with maternity pants is just even less attractive!

Sleep?  Much better!!  I only have to get up once at night now, and sometimes not at all :)

Best moment? Gender confirmation & feeling the baby from the outside!

Cravings?  Random things like pigs-in-a-blanket, pizza, and hummus dip

Gender? It’s a GIRL!!!!!!  Confirmed for sure at our 20 week ultrasound :)

Labor signs? Nope.

What I miss?  My full wardrobe…I just hate to buy a ton of maternity clothes when I am only going to need them for a few more months.

Looking forward to?  Decorating HER room!!

Milestones?  Feeling her kick me on the outside last week!!  So cute!!

And because no post is complete without pictures…
