21 Week Bumpdate





Size of the baby: About 10.5 inches long and 3/4 of a pound

Feeling: Huge. And a bit emotional this week. Not in the quick-moving mood swing kind of way, but more in the raw heart, deep feeling kind of way. 

Fitness: Walking! And being very conscious of sticking to my doctor’s orders. 

Sleep: It’s really been getting better. I’m waking up more rested and sometimes even before my alarm. 

Best Moment Last Week: Spending a pampering night away at the Oregon Gardens with my sisters who are also pregnant. We are all due within just a couple weeks so it was extra fun to talk about all things pregnancy and baby, eat food we didn’t have to cook, and get a heavenly massage! 

Movement: All the time! It’s so fun 😊

Cravings:  Ice water. For real, it’s delicious

Total Weight Gain: 8.5 lbs

What am I looking forward to:   Actually nailing down a name. We are still “trying some on” from our short list. 

Milestones:  I wore a bikini to the water park. It’s always been a fear of mine that I would wear one thinking I looked pregnant but really only looked chubby. Overcame that fear! 

Fashion: It was so fun to bust out some of my shorts and tank tops this past week when it got warm. Can’t wait for more sunshine and warm weather around the corner! 

How is Daddy and Evelyn?  Joe checked off our biggest and trickiest pre-baby to do: repairing our floor (one had come unhooked in the middle of our kitchen.) It was very time consuming and I’m so thankful that it’s not on our minds anymore! 

Evelyn counts the baby in wherever we go. If we say “Let’s go to the park, all three of us” She pops in “And baby brother!” Or “All FOUR of us, mom!” As if I would forget him at home or something lol!!
