21 weeks

I know I'm only 21 weeks, but it's already starting to feel pretty tight in my abdomen space-wise. Baby wiggles and moves around a lot more, which is fun but sometimes uncomfortable if he sits on my bladder or pushes against my stomach. However, I am very happy to be half way through and know that we have about 19 more weeks (give or take) til baby will finally be here with us! So close, and still so far away haha ;)
We got a couple of cute baby outfits on clearance at Target this week, too! Martin found a dinosaur onesie set with a clearance label as $6.98 (originally $14.99), but I asked Martin to price check them because sometimes it's actually less than the sticker price, and sure enough, they were only $2.98! So we got the dinosaur onesie set, and a set with sea critters (my favorite!). We also found an adorable sweater outfit with grey slacks (or the baby equivalent of slacks, anyway) that we got for $4.50 on clearance and with a 25% coupon. I love bargain shopping, and it was fun to get a few things for our little man while still being able to pay rent, haha!


How far along: 21 weeks 
Size comparison: A pomegranate: about 10.5 inches in length, and 12.2 ounces weight. 
Total weight gain: 13 pounds
Sleep: Still getting occasional leg cramps, but I try to drink a big glass of water before bed and I have no idea why but it helps. Or maybe it doesn't actually do anything, haha! 
Best moment of the week: I was sitting at my desk thursday reading some emails and had my arm resting on my belly, when the baby gave a big kick and it actually made my arm move!! I thought it was so funny I had to tell Ronda (our receptionist) what just happened. 
Miss anything?: Not dealing with crazy pregnancy hormones and symptoms. It's great to have the privilege of carrying this baby, but sometimes I'd like to have a day where I don't feel like a ray of sunshine one minute to a lethargic, mope-y person the next. 
Movement: He moves around a bit after I eat, and especially when I'm sitting down for awhile. It's pretty fun, I always feel him kicking on the right side. Of course, whenever I try to get Martin or anyone to feel him kicking, he stops.  
Food cravings: Almost every night this week I wanted a popsicle, but we didn't have any. Sad times haha. 
Symptoms: Leg cramps at night, indigestion (at least often times I feel like my food is "stuck" in my esophagus for a little while), still occasional nausea and fatigue. Isn't pregnancy fun?! ;) 
Looking forward to: I really want to start getting stuff set up for baby around the house! But we don't have many baby things, haha. So I need to be patient.
