How far along: 21 weeks as of February 21, 2012. I'm so far behind in posting this, but work has been crazy. I hope to get the 22 week post up tomorrow.
Size of baby: Beansprout weighs about 12 ounces and is about 10.5 inches long, the length of a carrot! His eyelids and eyebrows are now present.
Movement: I love feeling him move. I can feel him every day now; some days he is more active than others. It's very comforting to know that he's in there and moving around, so he can kick me all he wants!
Sex of baby: Boy! I am getting pretty excited thinking about what he'll be like and who he'll look like.
Sleep: Fine. I'm waking up a couple of times a night to go to the bathroom, but I don't feel uncomfortable sleeping. I actually returned a pregnancy pillow because I found it to be more uncomfortable than just using a regular pillow.
What I miss: Occasionally, a glass of wine, queso dip at Mexican restaurants.
Cravings: Mexican food. Guacamole, fajitas, salsa, the works (minus the queso!)
Symptoms: The worst right now is back pain. It can get pretty painful, especially if I do too much around the house. Last week I cleaned more thoroughly than I typically do before some friends came over, and I paid for it over the next couple of days. I have found that putting a pillow between my knees when I sleep on my side helps the pain lessen. I never would have thought that would make a difference, but it does.
What I'm looking forward to: Meeting Beansprout! He needs to hang out for 15 more weeks, though!
