Bumpdate: 21 Weeks

The bump definitely popped out way more this week!  I'm starting to feel like I look huge, though thankfully I don't feel huge at all.


How far along: 21 Weeks
Gender: It's a baby!
Weight gain: About 10 pounds
Maternity clothes: Maternity pants with regular shirts.
Stretch marks: Nope
Belly button in or out: In, but stretching out pretty good.  I have a feeling it will be flat within the next week or so.
Sleep: Still sleeping really well.
Best moment this week: Feeling baby kick from the outside.  It only happened twice, but it was so cool.
Worst moment this week: An almost 13 hour workday.  Yeah for conferences.
Miss anything: Sleeping/laying on my stomach.  And an ice cold beer has sounded amazing for a while now.
Movement: Stronger flutters.
Cravings: Cookies.  And Veggie sticks.
Queasy or sick: Feeling good!
Looking forward to: No school on Friday!

Wow!  Half way done already.  That is super crazy to me!  This pregnancy is flying by!



How far along: 20 Weeks
Gender: It's a baby!

Best moment this week: Our 20 Week ultrasound.  It was so cool being able to see our baby.  I can't believe how close they can get, seeing all 4 chambers of the heart pumping was super cool.
Worst moment this week: Heartburn. So far it hasn't been fun.
Miss anything: Sleeping/laying on my stomach.

And here are Baby Beckwith's first photos:
