21 Weeks

+ Today I am 21 weeks, 5 days

+ baby girl is as big as a CANTALOUPE!

+ had our anatomy scan and I had a lot of anxiety going into this appointment. i had spent the few days before not really feeling pregnant and feeling a little bummed that i hadn't felt much movement (if any, because i've questioned it each time), but as it turns out - baby girl is just in there being absolutely perfect because she measured exactly right, has all the right organs in all the right places, and was wiggling around a ton! the ultrasound tech said feeling movement between 20-22 weeks is a lot more realistic, so that was a relief! i don't know why i was so nervous - she is doing great!

+ during the anatomy scan, we found out i have an anterior placenta, which means the placenta is between the baby and my stomach, which could be why i'm not feeling anything yet! the placenta muffles movement, and it's totally normal, so that was a relief too! regardless, the ultrasound technician said i will start noticing a big different in the next week or two, when babies' movements  tend to become stronger and more regular!

+ our list for baby names is getting longer and longer haha some days i feel like i have a favorite, other days i feel like we haven't even found the right name yet, so... who knows what it will be like in october, but right now, this girl could go awhile without a name! we're still planning on waiting to choose a name after she's born, so we can meet her first!

+ we started a registry at target! we never registered for our wedding, so it was a lot of fun!

+ i haven't mentioned this in awhile, but smells are still really bothering me! one of my co workers makes turkey bacon in the microwave every single morning and it reeks to high hell and i hate her for it. she eats at her desk a lot, and it drives me absolutely crazy! cooking at home is getting a little better, though!

+ still full force for strawberries and frozen yogurt. fruit loops are holding out pretty strong too! also still averted to sausage, which is one of the foods that i first got sick with at the beginning of my pregnancy!

+ got a bunch more maternity clothes this week and feeling way more comfortable. now i've got a combination of low and full panel pants and it makes a difference to have an option! i can still wear regular jeans, but i don't think that will last much longer!
