21 Weeks 2 Days

How far along? 21 weeks 2 days

Weight gain/loss: Up, up & AWAY! I hate gaining weight :[

Symptoms: Back aches, oh the back aches are so horrible sometimes I just want to cry. I pee lots too.

Maternity clothes? Lets just say I've been struggling to put my jeans on and will definitely not be able to go much longer. :/

Stretch marks? No new ones, just the old ones.

Sleep? It’s the same.

Best moment this week? My mother and I made Laila’s crib skirt. :]

Food cravings: Eh. I’ve noticed that I don’t really have cravings, It’s just whatever I see is what I want.

Gender: A beautiful girl.

Belly button in or out? Innie

Movement? She loves to kick and daddy can feel it now too!

What I miss? Central air and I am really over this whole summer thing. I’m seriously ready for autumn, my favorite season.

What I'm looking forward to: Lots of DIY projects Justin and I are working on. Like, refinishing the dresser we bought off of Craigs Lists, a flowery mobile, possibly no sew curtains and book slings and whatever else I can find.

Milestones: Daddy feeling Laila kick.

What's Laila Up To?

How big is your baby? About the size of a large banana — and speaking of bananas, if you eat one this week, there's a good chance your baby will get a taste, too. That's because she swallows a bit of amniotic fluid each day (for nutrition, hydration, and to practice digesting), so she eats whatever's on your menu — and gets to put those developing taste buds to good use. So go ahead and nosh on those nachos (or crunch those crudités): Your baby may develop a taste for them when she’s older.
