21 Weeks

There has not been a whole lot new to announce this week.  On the housing front, we made an offer on a house and will find out next week if we got it.  We do have a busy weekend ahead of us...Shane has been replacing our air conditioning unit, we had a crayfish boil to attend (that due to AC we didn't make), a wedding reception (on our way out below), and going to the Frisco Rough Riders game with my family on Sunday (unlimited nachos and hot dogs!).

How Far Along: 21 weeks on 5/16/12

Size of Baby: She is now the size of a cantaloupe. At 12 ounces she resembles a miniature fully developed person, but is still able to fit in the palm of your hand.

Baby Updates:  To stay warm she’s developing body fat and a thin layer of hair. She is also now hiccupping regularly to practice breathing. Her eyelashes and eyebrows are now well formed and she’s is starting to grow hair on her head.

Total Weight Gain/Loss: No new gain so a total of 13 pounds so far.

Maternity Clothes: Nope, sticking to my dresses!

Gender: It’s a GIRL!!! Scarlett NMNYet Shepherd

Movement: All the time! She is a playful one!
Sleep: Not bad this week…sometimes I wake up early in the morning, like 4 am, and it’s been fairly easy to fall back asleep.

What I miss: The conveniences of being able to pack a deli meat sandwich and take it to work or eat it for a snack!

Cravings: No real cravings but I find myself getting hungry more frequently.  I get full fast but definitely need a morning, afternoon, and pre-dinner snack.
Best Moment this week: After a dinner with friends I was changing and stretching my arms back…and my belly button popped out.  Shane happened to be sitting right there and found it again more amusing than me to the point where he said, “Do it again, do it again” in a fit of laughter.
