Y'all, it's hot out. I guess hot weather + pregnancy = DEATHLY HOT. I'm moving slowly and feeling crummy out in the heat, which has really taken me by surprise. I don't love the heat normally, but being out and about in 95 degree weather has really taken it out of me!
Anyway .... here's a photo of me on Monday, at 21 weeks!
Yep, that belly just keeps getting bigger! Oh, and I guess the baby does, too. :)
How far along? 21 weeks when the photo was taken above - 21w3d today!
How big is baby? Around 8 inches from head to rump, and we're up to around 1 pound in weight! This week, he is approximately the size of a spaghetti squash.
Huh, okay. Yeah. Sure. Spaghetti squash.
Total weight gain: I haven't weighed myself since last week ... so I'll stick with around 10 pounds. :)
Maternity clothes? Hells to the yes.
Sleep: I had a few nights in a row of horrible sleep this night. Three nights in a row of middle-of-the-night insomnia paired with random puking. Thankfully, last night I slept like a rockstar again (from 9:30-6:30 ... woohoo!) and I woke up today NOT feeling like death, which was awesome!
Cravings: Fruity frozen yogurt covered in fresh fruit. Yes, yes, yes. If you have a Red Mango in your area, do yourself a treat and go get some. My favorite is peach froyo with strawberries, raspberries and kiwi. YES.
Best moment this week: Showing up at my in-laws house to find a whole bag full of baby boy clothes my mother-in-law had (immediately) purchased for our sweet boy! She called me today to let me know that a few more things she had ordered just came in. :) He is so very loved (and outfitted) already! Here's my favorite outfit:
Swoon. Is that not the absolute cutest?!
Movement: All the time! It seems like he's been SUPER active the last couple of days and I feel him almost all the time. It's amazing!
Gender: It's a boy!!!
Belly Button in or out? Innie ... but getting surprisingly shallow.
What I miss: Nothing this week! Very happy and content. :)
Milestones: No big milestones this week - unless filling up baby boy's closet counts!
I've been trying to spend some quality time with my first baby lately - since Matt is out of town, it's just the two of us, so we're doing some bonding. Here are a few photos of our latest adventures ...
Sooo what's been going on with everyone else lately?

I love these posts! I think you're about a week behind me (due Oct 25) so it's so fun to compare.
I think it must have been a week for bad sleep. You're the 3rd prego girl I've heard say that. I had 2 or 3 bad nights, but was thankful to sleep really well last night. I decided the next bad night I have, within an hour of laying down, I'll take a unisom (MD approved). Rather than tossing and turning for 3 hours and then realizing that it's too late to sleep off any relief.
You're little man is going to be one finely dressed fella!
He's going to be a well dress Gentleman! I hope you're able to take it easy in this heat ... Being pregnant through the summer is rough. That summer of 2010 was brut-AL. I hope this summer goes easy on you.
