Pregnancy Highlights: The last couple weeks I have been pretty sick with the flu and a nasty horrible cold. Being sick while pregnant and not being able to take much to help with the symptoms is pretty rough but I survived. I have also dealt with a pulled muscle in my abdomen from coughing and have been experiencing contractions. Nothing to worry about mostly due to being sick. But I'm better so nothing to complain about - right?
How far along: 21 weeks
Size of baby: According to my weekly email the baby is about 10.5 inches long and 1 lb - or the size of a carrot.
Stretch Marks: Nothing new.
Gender: We are not finding out. This baby will be the tie breaker for our family, and for grandchildren on all sides. So we are keeping the gender a surprise until the wee one makes their appearance.
Name: We have some picked out either way, but again are not sharing.
Movement: I have defiantly felt tickling and rolling this past week. Mostly early in the morning or at night - basically the only times I am not up chasing kids around.
Exercise: Because I have been sick there has not been much exercising getting done. I hope to start doing some walking if my hip will stop going out and getting stuck.
What I miss: I miss sleeping through the night.
Cravings: Cinnamon rolls, anything Italian, fruit and salads.
Aversions: Beef, mexican and anything BBQ - oh and anything greasy.
Best moment of the week: Not being sick anymore! Also I made a blanket and learned how to make crib sheets. Surprisingly easy.
Looking forward to: Finishing our projects around the house and getting our crib and some clothes (boy and girl) washed up and ready to go so we can be prepared either way.
