21 Weeks

Hey everyone! It has been awhile since I've updated you all on Baby Everlee. I will be 24 weeks this coming Thursday and I am so excited to be hitting "viable week." This means a lot to me considering we lost our last little babe. Life has been hectic, stressful, amazing and going by SO fast. We will be leaving North Carolina in less than 2 months and while I am unbelievably stressed about it, I am so ready to be back on the west coast near all of our family. In the mean time, here is mine and baby girl's update so far:

How far along? Right now I am 23 weeks + 4 days! Her face is fully-formed and she just needs some more fat to fill it out. :)

Total weight gain/loss: At my last appt (20weeks), I had gained a total of a pound and a half, but I am up to 7 pounds gained (according to my scale at home).

Maternity clothes? None yet. Although my pants are getting tight and I did go up a size in my khaki pants for work. 

Stretch marks? Still none! I am really trying hard to keep it this way too. I still use my Mama Bee Stretch Mark Cream and I got some Vitamin E oil in my last BumpBox, so I will be using that soon.

Sleep: All I want is sleep! During the night I wake up several times to pee and I did go through a weird spell of constantly waking up with my hands/arms being asleep and to Charlie horses. The worst!

Symptoms: Lower back pain (when will it go away?!), really tired. So nothing too major!

Have you told family and friends: Everyone knows. :)

Miss Anything? We have been having some really warm days here in Fayetteville and I have been craving a nice cold beer or any alcoholic drink, really. Lol! Also, with spring break approaching, I can feel me missing a nice cold drink even more.

Movement: Lots and lots! It is my favorite thing in the world.

Food cravings: Frozen waffles. At any time. And cherries.

Anything making you queasy or sick: The last thing that made me sick was a chicken sausage, egg white and cheese English muffin a week or two ago. Other than that, nothing!

Have you started to show yet: Oh my goodness, yes! As you can tell from the pictures.

Gender prediction: Baby girl.

Ultrasound Update: We had our anatomy scan at 20 weeks and she is growing perfectly! Healthy heart beat in the 140's.

Labor Signs: No

Belly Button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or Moody most of the time: Very happy and excited! Although, I do find myself for irritable especially when I am tired.

Looking forward to: Our next appointment at 24 weeks!
