Baby Bump Chronicles 21w
Due Date: February 16th
Zodiac Sign: AQUARIUS-which has characteristics of being good communicators, being friendly, intelligent, and strong-willed.
Symptoms: My stomach has started itching, but I am not going to scratch it. I've just been rubbing this cream on my stomach 2 sometimes 3 times a day that my friend, Mary, turned me onto. It feels so good when I rub it on. I do go to the bathroom a lot more. Other than that, I'm pretty much the same ol' Christian.
How big is the Baby: She is 3/4 of a pound and the length of a carrot (10 1/2 inches).
Any Cravings: I love rice krispy treats for lunch. I've been eating 2 a day with my lunch. That's about it. I'm sure I will wear out this whole rice krispy thing here in a few days.
What can't you stand to eat? I still can't stand Mayo or creamy stuff.
Any Anticipations? Scott and I went to our first Baby CPR class this past Tuesday. We learned how to do cpr on an infant to a 1 year old, a 1 year old to an 8 year old, and an adult. We also learned how to do the heimlich maneuver on infants, toddlers, and even on pregnant women like me. Next week, we learn about child-proofing our house and choosing the right child seat. Very informative stuff. I am also looking forward to finishing up the baby room that we recently started working on. I can't wait to see how it comes together.
Maternity Clothes: I've been wearing the bella band over my pants. If you are not familiar with a bella band, it's a elastic thinga-ma-jig that you put over your unbutton pants to hold them together and closed. It's really comfortable. I think I am too the point wear I am going to have to break down and get some maternity pants this week. I have cute shirts, so I just need some pants.
Exercise: I still need to do something, but sorry to say, I still haven't started. (Sad Face)
Diet: I think I am eating pretty healthy and good.
Things I miss: Sleeping on my back and stomach, glasses of wine, and shopping at The Limited.
Things I'm enjoying: Scott talking to my belly bump, my growing belly, and people actually being able to tell that I am pregnant.
