Week 21

How far along?   21 weeks

Total weight gain:  12 lbs

Have you started to show?  Oh yes ~ that 12 lbs went somewhere!!

Am feeling:  Energized!

Best moment this week: Celebrating my husband's birthday -- and looking forward to his next knowing we will have an 8 month old boy!

Miss anything? Being able to take whatever meds I want.  My Advil bottle was staring me down this week when my back was killing me!! 

Food cravings:  Chocolate.  I had a healthy dinner the other night of sea salt chocolate covered caramels.  Totally fat-free.

Maternity clothes:  Finally invested in a pair of maternity jeans.

Sleep:  Sleeping great - minus this stupid sore throat/cold!

Gender: BOY!!

Looking forward to: Our next Dr. appointment and Thanksgiving!

Week 20

How far along?   20 weeks -- HALFWAY THERE!!!

Total weight gain:  10 lbs

Have you started to show?  Yes.  Random people are congratulating me and asking when I'm due, so I think it's safe to say yes to this one.

Am feeling:  Good with the exception of sacral pain.  It only happens after I run or lift too much ... I'm having a hard time accepting that I may have to start transitioning to an elliptical...

Best moment this week: Matt finally felt him move!  Baby was kicking away while I was watching the Country Music Awards -- obviously he likes country music!  My kind of guy!! :)

Miss anything? Wine.  Surprised?

Food cravings:  Still on this Starbucks kick -- but back to my white mocha. 

Maternity clothes:  Incorporating more and more each week.

Sleep:  Sleeping well -- even made it a few nights without waking up to use the bathroom at 3am!!

Looking forward to:  Buying more boy clothes and getting the nursery together.

Week 19

How far along?   19 weeks

Total weight gain:  8 lbs

Have you started to show?  yep!

Am feeling:  More like a normal person, just with a full belly!

Best moment this week: feeling more movement inside

Miss anything? Oddly enough, sprinting.  I miss my interval workouts!

Food cravings:  Nothing in particular - Halloween candy is quickly disappearing though!

Maternity clothes:  Started with the belly band this week, but still wearing my own pants.  Leggings are my new best friend.

Sleep:  Still sleeping well - end up on my back during the night though, which is freaking Matt out

Gender:  IT'S A BOY!!

Looking forward to:  Decorating the nursery and deciding on a name for baby boy!
