21 weeks

How Far Along? 21 weeks exactly. 

Baby this Week? Malcolm is about 10.5 inches, or the size of a banana!  He's starting to grow some eyebrows. And his lips are becoming more pronounces.  Basically, he's just growing away and continues to practice some of the basic motor skills. 

Symptoms? I'm trucking right along.  On and off nausea still.  But I've been able to actually go do a few things like go to.the grocery store or have a quick coffee with Aprill. I'm still not feeling great but it's manageable at least!  Lots of baby kicks going on and Garrett is able to feel them pretty good from the outside!  Oh and a fun new development...I have a hernia.  Nothing that needs surgery at the moment, but painful, nonetheless. It's to the right of my belly button.  I see Dr. Miser on Monday so I'll be able to follow up with her then.  Also another ultrasound Monday so hopefully everything is still stable! 

Cravings / Aversions? I still have a hard time with the smell if anything cooking. But I'm starting to want a bit more variety in my foods.  Been able to eat some bland veggies...so that's definitely a good thing. 

Mason?  His top two teeth are just starting to break through the gums! So he'll have 4 teeth here very shortly. He's pretty busy these days!  And usually pretty happy. I'm just glad I get to actually spend more time with him now that I have a good chunk of the nausea under control.  

Goals for the Week? I really don't have any super specific goals this week. It's honestly getting hard to have goals when I have restrictions.  But I suppose I could just have a goal of staying on top of the nausea again and to also not aggravate the hernia.
