Hello! We've had a busy week here with Grandma and Grandpa K visiting the UK and all of us heading to Germany together. It was so fun for me to practise my German skills... I think I did alright actually. "Ich bin schwanger" means "I'm pregnant" in German, in case you were wondering. I will post a picture of Jason and I in Munich where you can see the substantial development of my baby bump! I am definitely, definitely pregnant these days. (:
Some great developments with baby recently, so read on....
How far along?: 21 weeks plus 3 days
Total weight gain/loss: I have not weighed myself in a week, but looking at my bump growth, I'm assuming this number has grown quite a bit as well.
Maternity clothes?: Yes. This is the last week I am including this question as it is pure silliness!
Sleep: Not bad, although I had to live without my special pillow in Germany the last few nights and I was not happy about it.
Movement: FINALLY. Earlier in the week I was sitting at work and felt a few very gentle pokes in my lower tummy. Every day since then i've either felt another of these cute little pokes, or funny rumbling feelings. Nothing like the whole butterfly or fluttering feeling crap they tell you to expect, but as it's a new and weird feeling, it has to be baby!
Food cravings: Nothing at this exact moment in time.
Gender: Camp Yellow.
What I miss: This week while in Munich, I was gutted not to be able to drink a giant liter beer with my hubby!! I did have a non-alcoholic one, which was actually pretty tasty, but still. Not the same. What I should say here is that I missed out on having a giant bratwurst in Germany, as you are not supposed to eat sausage in pregnancy, but I'd be lieing as I ate several sausages. And baby liked it.
What I am looking forward to: Our 22 week scan - this Thursday!! Can't wait to see the little bubba and make sure everything is going ok. Hopefully it will be less stressful than last time...
Best moment this week: Realizing the funny new feeling in my tummy was probably baby moving!
Weekly Wisdom: The baby is sucking my brain away. I forget a lot of things these days. My husband makes fun of me.
Milestones: Baby can probably hear us now, and she might be 10.5 inches long and weigh three quarters of a pound!

Love the Munich picture. You look great.
ReplyDeleteI don't think that counts as a belly shot...Definitely need to see a side view :) It sounds like your trip was a lot of fun! Can't wait to hear about the scan!
