Week 21

Ach! This week has been SO bad! I have been very sick since Monday and thus have not had the energy or desire to post. But here I am on Friday, and though still sick, I'm not half as sick as I was before.

What I love: I love that my son is feeling better and I don't have to worry about him being sick anymore. As far as loving something about this pregnancy, uhm, not so much. Oh, though, because I've been sick and not exercising or doing much of anything, I am not hurting nearly as much. 

What I hate: Being sick! I especially hate being sick while being pregnant when you can't drug yourself into oblivion. Oh well. I am on the up swing and hopefully will make a full recovery soon. 

What I miss:  I miss SUMMER! Uhg! It's been 40 below and it's DARK and I'm stuck inside looking at the same four walls, and I just miss the scenery changes of summer. 

 What I’m looking forward to the most: Not being pregnant. :) Oh and the baby. 

Worries: I am actually worried about the babe, because I haven't felt as much movement and I am paranoid that I've somehow managed to hurt the baby because of the stuff I've taken for the cold. I've only taken Tylenol and a bit of Nyquil that doesn't have alcohol in it and benedryl. All of which shouldn't hurt a baby, but it's worrying me some. It could really be as simple as the baby turned around and is kicking my back more. I still feel it, but not as much. It could also be that some of the drugs are making the LO sleepy.   

Symptoms: Runny nose, cough, sort throat.. Oh wait, that is supposed to be pregnancy symptoms.. :) 

Mood:  Tired and snappish, but happy to be finally feeling a bit better. 

Sleep: When I'm not coughing or my sinuses aren't hurting, I sleep fine. 

Movement: Wow, right now the baby is kicking up a storm. Probably because I am slouching while I am typing. 

Bra Size: B cup. Still, but I have a feeling I'm still growing... 

The belly (and the button!): So funny to watch my belly button when I cough. It goes in and out every time. I have to admit, I can't stock feeling it.. it's weird and feels like it shouldn't be like that..... 

Wedding rings on or off: On!

Weight gain:Don't know and I'm not going to check until I feel better. 

Measurements: Ok. So I still haven't done all my measurements, but I did check my belly and it's at 37"s... growing, growing... 

Exercise: HA! I haven't actually exercised since Saturday, which technically counts as week 20. Oh well, I need rest and to get better and then I will focus on exercise again. I am hoping to do something tomorrow and Sunday too, if everything goes ok. 

Eating: So, ya, that went to pot too, because I got sick. I stopped tracking because, let's face it, when you're coughing and hurt and are miserable, who cares what you eat? I don't. But I started tracking again today and will get back into the grove. 

The weekly pics: 

And now the pics. This week the baby is supposedly as long as a carrot. Which I LOVE carrots so that cool...:) 

As you will notice, now that baby is big enough to not need zooming... hurrah! 

And the belly shot. This week I am adding two because I like to see pics of the front. It makes it more of a "complete picture"
