Week 21
By Summer0120 » Posted Sep. 9, 2015 9:35am - 284 views - 6 comments

So I have been counting backwards at home. Instead of 21 weeks, I said 19 weeks left! So happy I'm past the half-way point. Still have a long ways to go, though. We have been so busy lately. I feel like I haven't gotten any rest at all. When I try to sleep at night, my left hip starts hurting so badly and wakes me up constantly. I have also been having wonderful leg and foot cramps. I have also had two fainting spells so far. I thought the second trimester was supposed to be fun? Lol! Gained another pound since last week, so that's good! My girls are very very excited about us having another girl in the family. I made them shirts, and they've already worn them once. Lol! I have made my first craft for the baby room. I painted the letters "A" and "J" fuschia and then added silver glittery circles to it. They look great. Going to go right above the crib. Still need to get a dresser or repurpose something. Not sure what I want to do yet. Looking forward to the baby shower in a month. Can't come soon enough!

	Comment from Summer0120 » Posted Sep. 9, 2015 11:26am pbc- I haven't had a week yet of no pains. Lol. This has definitely been a rough pregnancy compared to my others. Tafoyarael- I am right there with you. Haven't gained much but my belly is constantly growing. So uncomfortable in any position. Lonwy- You are right! I am very excited about hitting week 24. Still don't want baby to come at that time, but I'll feel a little more relaxed.
	Comment from Lonwy77 » Posted Sep. 9, 2015 11:18am Another good thing about being 21 weeks. Only a few more weeks to go till viability for our little girls! :) Certainly a load of my mind at least.
	Comment from Tafoyarael5 » Posted Sep. 9, 2015 11:12am I hear you about hp pain! I haven't gained a whole lot but my belly is pretty big and sleeping is difficult. It makes me fear 3rd trimester!
	Comment from pbc910 » Posted Sep. 9, 2015 10:33am MalPal - you just need to find that one craft that doesn't require too much artistry. I'm not artistic but I can put things together (like jewelry). Painting, scrapbooking, etc., SO NOT my thing! I think it's more like the beginning and middle of the 2nd trimester that is supposedly better. I had a sweet spot right before 20 weeks of like no symptoms, pains, etc. After 20 weeks, a different story!
	Comment from Summer0120 » Posted Sep. 9, 2015 9:44am I didn't think I did either. I couldn't believe how awesome the letters turned out. So I think I might start trying more crafts and see how it goes. It was actually a lot of fun!!
	Comment from MalPal85 » Posted Sep. 9, 2015 9:42am Congrats on 21 weeks (or 19 weeks left)! Glad the girls are excited! I feel like I've read a lot about you ladies getting crafty. I have absolutely no artistic skill, haha.
