If Weeks Were an Age....I Could Have a Beer Now!!!

How Far Along: 21 Weeks 3 Days

How Big is Baby: Roughly the size of a B-A-N-A-N-A (and now you are singing Gwen Stephani) and weighs in at an estimated 11 oz...growth spurt!!!

Weight Gain: umm..11 lbs.  Told you guys I felt like I grew a lot last week.  I guess my weight took a few days to catch up.  I really do feel like the belly grew over night all last weekend.  The pic below somewhat does justice...and I promise I do get dressed to go to work and wear make-up and nice clothes!!!

Maternity clothes:  Mostly all I am wearing.  Got a few tights and pants that I will wear the belly band with, but it gets annoying.  Maternity is so much more comfy

Sleep:  A little better this week.  Still tossing and turning and trying to find "the spot" that is cozy!

Best moment this week: Amelia wants to "feel" the baby and "see" the baby...She keeps trying to look through my belly button. (Keeping looking....that thing goes clear to my backbone!) She is also fascinated with when she was in my belly and the maternity pics of when I was pregnant with her.

Food Cravings: Edy's Real Fruit Popsicles....only 25 calories!!! Delicious!!!

Foods I Can't Stand: Nothing in particular.

Movement: More frequent and in a pattern.  I occasionally can see the movements.

What I miss:  Putting my shoes on with ease...oh the days!!!  Did I mention slip on shoes were the best invention EVER!

What I am looking forward to: Doing a 15K that I have always wanted to do this weekend at the beach...just hope the weather holds out!!!

Milestones:  Just chugging along.

Working on My Fitness: Continuing with my running.  Starting to do every other day running and walking on the days I don't run.   Did a 5k Saturday....had a preggo PR!!!  29 minutes!!!  Which surprised me.  We ran across the spillway and the wind was brutal one way and pushed the other.   Still maintaining my mileage of 3 - 4 miles a day until my body tells me otherwise.

15 Weeks

So I stole this from a friend of mine who is also expecting.  She is about 5 weeks ahead of me and due in April with a Baby Boy.

She does a weekly update and answers some of the same questions.  Since I am super busy these days, but still want to have some documentation that I was pregnant!

So here goes....I promise to get a belly pic with the next update!

How Far Along:    15 Weeks 4 days

Weight Gain: 3  lbs

Maternity clothes: not quite, but the day is coming.  I think my Bella band will be getting some use in the next few weeks (especially with the Holidays)

Sleep: I can make the trip to the bathroom in my sleep…ha!  I am getting up every three to four hours to pee!!! Well last night only twice

Best moment this week: Seeing Amelia point to my belly after someone told her there was a baby in there, then lifting my shirt, looking around and telling me she didn’t see it!!!

Food Cravings: I seriously put a hurt on some Chicken Wings last week.  Nothing in particular. 

Movement: Nope, not yet. 

What I miss: A really tall, frosty, beer or a nice glass of wine…I sound like an alcoholic. 

What I am looking forward to: Just taking this pregnancy in stride and enjoying it.   I go back to the Dr. on Friday so that is always exciting.

Milestones: I am over the “I want to puke everywhere and I could fall asleep standing up phase” and really am feeling great.
