21 weeks- Baby #2! (almost a week late!)

I'm really slacking on these posts.  I never realized how busy I could actually be not working.  Of course I'm not complaining as most lots of our commitments are more fun than anything! Reese has started gymnastics, and we have been having tons of play dates with our circle of friends doing fun things like making salt-dough ornaments, etc.  The holiday season is in full swing!

Anyway, back to this bi-weekly post which I should have posted last Tuesday.  Forgive me?

These pics were taken at 21w 4d, the lighting is horrible.

This was before Todd's holiday party for work.  My mom was flying, so I took a picture to send her since she wanted to see which dress I chose. 21w1d.

And here's a random shot from last week when I had actually showered! ;-)

21w3d.

1. How Far Along? As of Tuesday, 12/3/12 I'm 21 weeks pregnant with baby #2! (vs. 21 weeks with Reese)

2. How big is baby? 

Your baby now weighs about three-quarters of a pound and is approximately 10 1/2 inches long — the length of a carrot. You may soon feel like she's practicing martial arts as her initial fluttering movements turn into full-fledged kicks and nudges. You may also discover a pattern to her activity as you get to know her better. In other developments, your baby's eyebrows and lids are present now, and if you're having a girl, her vagina has begun to form as well.

3. Total Weight Gain/Loss? Not sure- I forget what my starting weight was- I think either 7 or 8lbs which would mean I've gained about a lb per week since my last post 2 weeks ago.

4. Maternity Clothes? 

A mix of both.  I have been living in my Gap maternity leggings, but can still button 2 pairs of regular Gap jeans, although I've started to add my Gap skinny jeans into the mix.  Both regular and maternity shirts/sweaters, just depends on what it sis. I like to belt my sweaters so I look less fat and more pregnant. ;-)

5. Gender?  Sweet baby girl!

6. Movement? Since my last update movement has definitely increased.  So much so that Todd was able to feel her move on Friday night (21w 3d)! Such a fun milestone. I still feel much less than with Reese, and have to be laying down to feel her, but at least it's consistent!

7. Sleep? I'm starting to get uncomfortable and achy.  Started adding a pillow in between my legs to try and alleviate pressure on my pelvis/hips.

8. What I miss? Having a glass (or 2 or 3)of wine! Sushi and cold cuts.

9. Cravings? I've started back on the clementine train (that was a huge craving for me last time), and I'm also loving those peppermint candy cane Hershey Kisses, YUM!

10. Symptoms? Dry skin, bloody boogers when I blow my nose in the morning (sorry if TMI!), lower back pain, and pressure down in my pelvic region.

11. Worst moment this week? Can't think of anything which is a good thing!

12. Best moment this week? Feeling more movement and having T feel her from the outside.
