The Neglectful Blogger -- 21weeks

So it seems like life have been crazy these past few weeks.  As a result I have completely neglected all of my internet friends -- SAIF, TB, and this blog.  So, I have some catching up to do. 


My little sister came to visit me last week and we had a blast.  She is 8 years younger so we have always had a hard time really connecting because we were at such different places in our lives.  But she just graduated college and has a full time job now and is living with her long time boyfriend.  So, for once our lives are more similar than different.  It was such a fun visit and I really needed that break.


I can feel Baby Madison all the time now.  It is so crazy how much she kicks and moves.  At my a/s with the OB the other day we got a nice video of her punching me with both fists at once.  Nice, little one.  I think she is going through a growth spurt because I have been super exhausted this week.  Other than the exhaustion I have been feeling pretty good.  I have my glucose test next month which I am dreading. 


I think my mom could tell I was really struggling with not fitting into my clothes because she sent me a little money and a nice note to spend it on clothes for me.  I got a few maternity clothes that have helped me feel more like myself.  I even got some maternity underwear!  There is nothing worse that feeling like your underwear don't fit. 


I haven't done one of these in a while so here is it is: 


Baby is the size of a pomegranate!

How far along: 21w5d

Physical symptoms: So tired.    

Total Weight Gain/Loss: I am not going to answer this any more.  I am trying not to focus on the numbers but rather am working on being healthy.     

Maternity clothes: Absolutely.   

Stretch marks: Actually, no.   

Sleep: It is getting better.  I am starting to get used to sleeping in a way that accommodates my belly which is good.     

Best moment last couple of weeks. Seeing her at the anatomy scan on Tuesday.      

Movement: All. The. Time.  She is quite the wiggle worm.    

Food cravings: Red meat.  Mainly burgers.  It is kind of funny because I am not really a beef eater but all I want anymore is a hamburger.   

Gender: It's a GIRL!  Baby Madison. 

Labor signs: Thankfully not.    

Belly button: Same as always.

What I miss: My energy.          

What I am looking forward to: Getting the nursery set up.  The painters come Saturday!  Woo hoo!     

Milestones: I am more than half way there!
