21 Weeks Pregnant!

I’m officially 21 weeks pregnant today! Baby is the size of a carrot. I feel like I say this every week, but man this is going by so fast! It’s bitter sweet because since this is my last pregnancy, I’m really trying to soak up all of the joy.

Today, we had a fetal cardiology appointment. I’m lucky enough to get weekly ultrasounds since I’m high risk with Lupus (I’ll make another post about that at a future date). Everything went well and we saw baby girl moving around in there. Due to COVID, RJ’s not allowed to any of my appointments except for this one so I’m happy he was able to come see her.

At my 20 week anatomy ultrasound last week, they told us she was about 13oz…that’s almost a full pound! I can definitely feel the difference. My back hurts almost every day. I ended up buying this pregnancy pillow on Amazon that has been a LIFE SAVER. Literally the best thing in the world! Here is a link to the pillow:

Other than that, I’ve just been really sleepy. I don’t normally take naps but I’ve been taking naps almost every single day! I guess that just means she’s growing…which also brings me to the fact that I’m starting to not fit any of my regular clothes! Luckily, I have a bunch of hand-me-down maternity clothes from my sisters because we all know those can get expensive. At least it won’t be much longer. It’s almost the end of July and she will be here in less than 4 months! So crazy to see it written out that way. Anyway, thanks for reading if you made it this far! Hope you all continue to follow us on our journey.
