Week 21

It's definitely been a harder week. Dan is hunting and Emma has been really difficult to deal with. It didn't help to be confronted about her behavior and told that we really have to get on it. It's like, what the hell do you think we've been doing? Letting her throw a fit and be a brat? Encouraging her to be a little hellion? Anyway, a bit frustrated at the whole situation as it has been constant for about two weeks. I am hoping it is partly teething, but it is really exhausting. 
Jackson, has been a bit of a mess too with Dan going and school starting, but he has also been turning a corner and been really good the least couple of days. That always helps all the other stuff. 
As far as pregnancy stuff. I am doing fine, but having a hard time not feeling depressed about the fall and impending doom of winter. All the leaves got blown off the trees today as predicted. It's only the 10th of September and we won't get snow for about a month and now it will be ugly as heck. Oh well. I really have a hard time with this time of year. At least I don't have to wait ALL the way until Spring for a baby. Winter always feels like forever so having the complete distraction of a new baby in the middle of it, should prove helpful.

Week : 21

What I love: Feeling the baby move around. I love it when I occasionally have a great day with the kids and am  not fighting with them the whole day. That's always good.... 

What I hate: Feeling tired all the time and dreading labor and delivery. I really am just dreading it. 

What I miss: All the normal things. I am starting to miss summer already, but that is because I love summer and it is always too short. But that's ok. It will come again. 

What I’m looking forward to the most: Jackson is going to school next week. I went through all the baby clothes that I have and I got everything ready and organized for the baby. It helped it be more real that I will get to put on all the cute things that I had for Emma on this baby girly. 

Sleep: OK. I have had a harder time falling back asleep when I get woken up. 

Bra Size: B

Wedding rings on or off: Off. And my hands keep swelling up with the skin issues I have. 

Weight: 158   Weight Gain: 15 lbs. Oh well. 

Worries: Same old, same old. No new ones. :) 

Symptoms: I am finally coming to the shaving less phase.... YEAH! That is definitely a bonus! My skin seems to have calmed down at present, but who knows how long that will last. The babies movements are getting stronger and are enough to keep me awake if I am trying to fall asleep. 

Mood: OK. Cranky still. I still think it's the time of year more then anything else. Also super tired. It never helps. 

Movement: Yep. Lots, though she slowed down a bit at the end of the week. 

The belly (and the button!): Round and stretching. 

Measurements: 

I didn't take them this week. I meant too, but best laid plans and all that. I will do it this week. 

Chest:  Waist:   Midsection:  Hips:  Thighs: 

Exercise: Yes. Five days and I was very pleased that I forced myself to do it even though I REALLY didn't want too on Saturday. But I DID!

Eating: About as bad as usual. I just have a hard time caring at this point. I try to get protein in there but other then that, I just don't care. 

The weekly pics:

Eyelid: Your baby's eyelids and eyebrows are now fully developed.

Uterus: You may develop varicose veins in your legs, in part because your growing uterus puts pressure on the inferior vena cava, the large vein that returns blood from the legs to the heart.
