21 Weeks!

I realized I haven't done an "official" weekly update for a little while.  Since I am now going on the dates based since my IUI, today I reached 21 weeks.  Only 3 weeks to go to viability!  Here's a quick recap of how things are going:

Mood: As I recently wrote about, I've been feeling blah, but that's about it.  Sort of flat without highs or lows.  However, if you ask DH, he would say that I am all over the place.  Apparently I keep fluctuating between asking him, "Do you love me?" to being angry at him and easily annoyed, to wanting my space, to being super needy.  I haven't really noticed, haha.  Today I felt the urge to cry for no reason, but I can't just cry right now.  It's a little bit strange.

Food: Just like I've been "blah" with my emotions, I've been blah about food.  I make myself eat quite regularly, but I still don't have any huge cravings and don't really enjoy eating.  I'm not eating huge portions, but I do eat quite regularly to keep my blood sugars stable.   The only thing I really crave is cold beverages, but I am trying to stay away from sugary drinks, caffeine, and fizzy drinks (makes me too bloated).  So that does limit my selection.  I still don't enjoy eating meat.  Today I went shopping and had to bypass the meat section completely because it made me feel sick.

Sleep: This has become my specialty.  I could sleep all day.  I sleep well at night, usually only waking up once to pee (2:30am), but then falling back asleep right away.  I am at the point where I NEED some sort of nap in the day to make it through.

Exercise: I have been a bit more comfortable lately so I have been branching out a bit and doing a little bit more.  Since the weather has been hot, I have headed to the beach a number of times for swims, and also gone to the pool.  I've managed a few short walks, but that usually causes too much pressure and is not comfortable.  I find once I'm on my feet for too long (even 30 minutes), I do notice some pain in my uterus and need to sit down or lie down for a while.

Body: Just growing a belly!  I feel like the growth has slowed down a bit and a few times I've had to ask DH if I am shrinking.  I think things are just finding their place.  Fortunately, I don't think I've gained too much more on my arms and legs.  I just definitely can tell my hips are much wider!  I'm still about 20lbs up in weight, which I think is right on track.  Other random things are that I have developed seasonal allergies, which I don't usually have.  I am sneezing and stuffed up like crazy!  Also, I've started to have a bit more watery discharge.  I'm not too worried, because from what I read this is normal, but I'll mention it at my next OB appointment.

Movement: I think I am starting to feel movement from time to time.  I've felt a few motions that I am pretty sure are kicks, especially when I am swimming.  I like to think the babies are swimming along with me.  Other than that, it just feels like popping in my belly at times, or kind of like the feeling you get on a roller coaster when your stomach drops.  What was cool was that during my prenatal massage the other day, my massage therapist said she saw my belly move from the outside!  I have yet to see that, but that's pretty rad.

Notable Moments: I signed up for our prenatal classes this week!  They are not till September but my name is on the list!

I think that's about it for now!
