21 Weeks!

Well, truth be told, I'm almost 22 weeks now, but we moved last week, so there's been a lot going on.  Moving was exhausting, but thankfully, my dad, stepmom, and younger brother came over to help us.  I was really not looking forward to cleaning our old apartment, and much to my joy and surprise, Steve ended up scrubbing that place from top to bottom over a period of 2 days while I was at work.  I am so lucky to have this incredible man in my life!  We have still yet to unpack much, except for the kitchen.  But we're in no big hurry, so we do as much as we can when we can.  We did go trick-or-treating on Halloween with my family, which is always a good time!  

Zane should now be at least 10.5 inches long from crown to heel, and weigh at least 12.5 ounces, though I think he's a bit bigger than that!  By this week, he has most likely already developed eyelashes and eyebrows!  He should also have a more regular schedule by now, which I have noticed.  He seems very active around 1-3pm every day, and then again in the evening, after 8pm.  

Here's me in front of our new apartment at 22 weeks, not the best picture, but it was late Sunday, after moving all weekend:

How far along?  21 Weeks

Maternity clothes?  Yes, pants all the time, and I'm loving my new maternity shirts!

Total Weight Gain:  Gained another pound this week, making it 12 pounds lost, and 4 pounds gained total.

Sleep:  I actually feel like I'm starting to be a little more comfortable while sleeping.  Maybe I'm getting used to sleeping on my side more, or maybe it's the fact that my Dad and hubby fixed our bed, which was slightly broken before, I don't know.  On a side note, our new apartment has radiator heat, which is something we're still getting used to.  The ones in the living room aren't currently working, so at night, when the heat kicks on, the radiator in our bedroom goes crazy and it's gets really hot in there!  So we've been turning the heat way down at night.

Best moment this week:  Steve and I went shopping for clothes for Zane :)  First we went to my friend, Shandra's, store, Everything Kids in Winthrop.  We picked out a ton of inexpensive, but nice things for him!  We also stopped by the Children's Place and found some great stuff on clearance!  

Miss Anything?  I still miss my energy drinks - I could sure use a pick-me-up some mornings!

Movement:  I definitely feel him everyday now.  Sometimes it's just little twitches, and sometimes (like just a minute ago!), it's bigger kicks and nudges!  I love feeling him though, it reminds me that he's growing and healthy!

Food cravings:  I've had a couple of random cravings, but I honestly can't remember :)

Anything making you queasy or sick:  Random smells - this week it was the smell of tortellini alfredo at work, as well as the cooking bacon.  

Any other symptoms?  Fatigue some days and nights this week - Zane must be going through a growth spurt!  And all the other normal pregnancy stuff.

Have you started to show yet:  Yes, I'm popping out quite a bit!

Gender prediction:  It's a boy :)

Labor Signs:  Nope

Belly Button in or out?  In, though it might be my imagination, but it seems to be getting shallower . . 

Wedding rings on or off?  On

Happy or Moody most of the time:  Happy, even with the stress of the move, I'm excited to get this place together, especially Zane's room!

Looking forward to:  Just spending some more time with Steve sometime soon, it seems we've been pretty busy lately.
