21 weeks!

How far along? 21 weeks!

Total weight gain/loss: 12 lbs.Right now it seems like I'm on track for a 32 lb weight gain (according to baby bump app, which ranges from 25-32 lbs for some reason versus the usual 25-35 that they usually recommend). Which is okay. 

Would still like to stay in the mid-upper 20's... wishful thinking?? haha

Maternity clothes? all maternity pants! wearing maternity shirts about half the time. my old shirts are starting to get short though!

Symptoms: charlie horses! in both legs at the same time! sore calves. having to pee more
Sleep:  pretty good. starting to *try* to sleep more on my sides but it ends up with sore hips.
Best moment this week: more kicking! the hubs got to feel the kick this morning altho he wasn't sure if he felt it or not since it was so soft. but i'm pretty sure he did. got the bookcase/toy storage set up in the nursery. only need the crib and then we're all set with furniture!
Movement: kicks are getting slightly stronger. i still don't feel the baby consistently. but i usually feel something right before i sleep or when i'm just laying down. i'm always googling if the baby is moving enough at this stage, but i guess u can't really tell till they get stronger

Cravings: nothing that i want really badly. but fries are so good, candy, bacon, anything and everything not good for u! hehe

Anything making you queasy or sick: steamed broccoli, fish sauce

Labor Signs: Nope

Belly Button in or out? Innie 

What I miss: sleeping on my back without worrying about the blood flow, drinking boba, soda, coffee, etc without thinking about the consequences! the scale jumping so fast!

What I am looking forward to: 24 week viability! using my new cake pop and sushi maker i got for the bday. haha love food! 

Here's a progression of the first half of the second trimester. I think I officially popped around 18 weeks. There's def a huge growth spurt from 19-20 weeks! But i think its because I took the 20 week picture alot later than usual so its part baby part food bump. Sometimes I look back at the first trimester pics and wonder how I could think I had any sort of bump! Even at 17 weeks its hard to see! Man.. hope I can get back to that after baby!

One last picture, the bump finally looks rounded!
