21 Weeks

How far along are you? 21 weeks
How big is baby? a canteloupe
Weight gain/loss? Gaining for sure but I haven't been weighed in three weeks.
Stretch marks? same
Maternity clothes? Yes.
Best moment this week? Buying my very first baby clothes
Gender? Holy Shit. It's a girl!
Movement? Every day now
Belly button? same.
Symptoms? sleepiness, mood swings and weepiness, angry driving and hunger. My breasts have hot pains every once in a while and a feel and aching pressure in my pubic bone when I stand up.
Cravings? Fruit, dairy, pickles and olives. I can demolish a fruit popsicle or an olive like no one's business.
What do I miss? booze. I have been craving a cold glass of chardonnay or a beer or a gin and tonic all the time.
What I'm looking forward to this week? A day off with my baby daddy on Friday and a three day weekend. I hope to go baby furniture shopping!
Milestones? Just relishing the knowledge I'll have a daughter. I have so many hopes for her and wishes but mostly I want to see her form into the person she wants to be. That will be amazing.
