21 Weeks 5 Days
Dress (non-maternity)
Dress (non-maternity)
How far along? 22 weeks today, reviewing week 21 in today's post.
Total weight gain: 4 pounds, same as with Ellie at this time!
Stretch marks?: Nope, I do have those silvery marks from my pregnancy with Ellie that a lot of women get, but nothing serious. They do seem to be more prominent now that my belly is large and stretching.
Maternity clothes: One thing I've said since Ellie's pregnancy is that I want to get more maternity clothes from the start because I felt like I had nothing to wear at the end of my previous pregnancy. So far I've bought three maternity shirts, jean shorts, and a pair of black slacks.
Belly Button in or out?: In, just flattening out.
Sleep: I've been sleeping so much better this pregnancy! I attribute it to our new bed and better support. I've had a few nights of insomnia, but I'm not tired all day or groggy in the morning. This past week I did have some leg cramps one night that woke me up, but they thankfully went away quickly.
Best moment this week: I love that everyone knows! It's great to talk about it openly and get asked about it from clients at work and out in public. It was great seeing my family on Easter and talking about the baby and Ellie with them since it's the first I've seen them since the announcement.
Worst moment this week: The leg cramps! I've also had a little bit of sciatic nerve botherings, mostly my right side and it's not as bad as it was earlier in my pregnancy, but still annoying.
Have you told family and friends: Yes!
Miss Anything? Being able to wear whatever I want and rare meat.
22 Weeks 6 Days
Movement: Yes, but she's not moving as much as Ellie did at this time. She's active in the morning, after lunch, and at night. It's smaller movements, they feel like she's shifting into a different position.
Food cravings: This week, carbonation and sweets.
Anything making you queasy or sick: I gag almost every time I brush my teeth. That happened with Ellie too, but I remember it being mostly at the beginning.
Have you started to show yet: Yep, it's totally obvious.
Gender: Team pink!!
Symptoms: Leg cramps, sciatic nerve pain, bleeding bums. .
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy! No big mood changes.
Looking forward to: Seeing her and how she's different from Ellie. Matt and his sisters are all nearly identical (even with different eye/hair colors) and I love to think about how she will look. In the sonogram you can see she has my nose (so does Ellie), but I wonder what color eyes and hair, if she'll have big cheeks, if she'll be as long as Ellie, etc.
Until next week ladies! Again, please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions for future bumpdates!

LOVE that dress and kimono! You look amazing! I am 34 weeks with Baby #2 and my bump-dates have been few and far between, but I still love documenting and comparing! I am STILL gagging when I brush my teeth - what is up with that? Baby #2 is no joke! Haha :) I still had a lot of maternity clothes (and am pregnant during the same time, which is helpful), but I bought a lot of workout gear this time, which I've worn the sh*t out of on the weekends and at night - there's nothing better than sliding on my comfy yoga pants and a tank top! I do feel like I am wearing the same three outfits to work, though! I can't wait to see you grow!!
Ahhh I love that kimono but several sizes are sold out. How would you say it fits---is it big? I usually wear a L but it's sold out and they have a M.
Thanks. It's so easy to wear and really comfy. I bought a medium, but I think a small would have fit just fine too. I think it would be on to size down.
Yay!! I'll have to see your posts! With my last pregnancy, I Had bought 2 pairs of jeans that I'm still using, but had nothing for work (my dress code changed from last time). Dude, I put in yoga pants and sweats as soon as I get home!
