Happy 4th of July!
I'll be 22 weeks tomorrow, but I didn't want to skip this week, so I figured I'd post it today :) We are nearing the end of our hotel stay in Orlando and getting ready to trek on up to The W (Warner Robins) to move into our new home in 2 days. I spent this past week in South Florida with family and certainly enjoyed it! Got to spend time with my nieces, got in some photoshoots, and saw most of our family altogether for a BBQ (missed you Mom, Gma, McDonald's, Bill, Maggie & Tommy!) -- We even got to see Jessica & Kyle, who finally made their way back home after 2 years in Ft. Irwin, CA. This month in Florida has gone by quicker than I could have imagined, but I'm ready to get back up to Georgia and settle into our new home. The hotel life with free breakfast everyday and maids once a week has been good to us, but we're ready!~~~~
21 weeks
- How far along?: 21 weeks, 6 days
- Baby is the size of a: Pomegranate --these fruit sizes confuse me! They randomly seem bigger/smaller as the weeks go by. Average baby size is 10.5 inches at this point. That's one large pomegranate, eh?!
- Total weight gain/loss: Lost 1 lb. So +10
- The Bump: Growing and getting harder. And I'm noticing it a little higher up these days.
- Symptoms: Random right sided pain in belly when I walk somewhat quickly..it's happened 3 times in the past week. I'm told round ligament pain. Ouch!
- Food Cravings: More BLT's :) And today I had a Dunkin Donuts croissant with egg and cheese, and the whole time I was eating it, I thought, "Why have I not had more of these?!"
- Anything Making Me Queasy or Sick: No food..But my tachycardia has been crazy lately and when my heart rate gets too high, I feel a little dizzy/nauseous.
- Sleep: Sleeping well and sleeping in -- I've been lucky to be able to lately without working right now. I'm loving the body pillow (seems as though J likes it too!) and my sis just gave me "the wedge" pillow for the belly. I don't quite need that yet but it sure is nice to have.
- What I miss: Today (4th of July) seems like a great day for a drink! We're planning on heading over to Universal's City Walk in a little to catch the fireworks tonight and J is already thinking about his Fat Tuesday's frozen drink....me wants!!
- Weddings Rings On or Off: On
- Any Names Picked Out Yet: Yes, actually, this came very easy for us contrary to what everyone told us about picking out names...but you'll just have to wait ;)
- Gender: Baby Barr is a girl! :)
- Movement: Love feeling those little fireworks in my belly!
- Maternity Clothes: I like dresses and my jeans still -- got the belly band from sister and wearing it in today's picture actually :) I do wear my maternity capri's too, but I'd prefer my jeans to those as they still get saggy on me.
- Labor Signs: N/A
- Best Moment of the Week: There's a few. Same as last week...feeling baby girl and hearing her heart beating away on the doppler. And also showing off the baby bump to family :) It was the first time I've seen them since I've been pregnant. Anddd, sister gave me tons o' baby gear and baby girl clothes -- Oh. So. Cute!! I have a stroller in my car right now in the back..weird!
- What I’m excited about/looking forward to: Daddy feeling kicks! And getting settled into our new home and meeting with the new doc.
