I was super busy, but for once I almost had enough energy to handle it! I guess I did have enough energy because here I am on the other side. Although there were a few nights when I felt radiating pain through my hips and back and wished I hadn&#8217;t indulged my new\u00a0verve\u00a0so fully.<\/p>\n<p>I felt the motivation for so many things! If only it had resulted in me having accomplished more of the things I felt motivated to do. I did some creative cooking and drink-making as well as some cleaning and shopping and my usual design workload, so that is definitely a step up. For this week I have high hopes that I can finally transplant some plants I&#8217;ve had waiting on our porch for weeks. I might even start picking up the\u00a0guest-room\u00a0in preparation for Operation: Baby-Room Makeover. I&#8217;ve also felt in the mood to sew, so perhaps some hand-made maternity clothes should be on that list. We shall see.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Bump:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.silverdoves.com\/blog\/baby-bump-21-weeks\/twenty-oneweeks-web\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-184\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-184\" title=\"Twenty-OneWeeks-web\" src=\"http:\/\/www.silverdoves.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Twenty-OneWeeks-web.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong><strong>Baby\u2019s Size<\/strong><strong>|\u00a0<\/strong>Length of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.babycenter.com\/slideshow-baby-size?slideNumber=19\" target=\"_blank\">a carrot<\/a>, but I have a sneaky suspicion baby is bigger than that.<br \/>\n<strong>How far along |<\/strong>\u00a021 weeks<br \/>\n<strong>Sleep |\u00a0<\/strong>Still crazy clumsy when I get up in the middle of the night and last night was a bad night (fresh on my mind) but let&#8217;s just say I will be avoiding all fluids after 9 p.m. from now on.<br \/>\n<strong>Clothes |\u00a0<\/strong>I got some maternity shorts! They are so comfortable I can&#8217;t even stand it. I wonder why all shorts aren&#8217;t made the same way. I also tried on the perfect maternity swimsuit yesterday and I&#8217;m currently debating if it&#8217;s worth the cost. I&#8217;m leaning towards &#8220;yes.&#8221;<br \/>\n<strong>Cravings |<\/strong>\u00a0I&#8217;ve been eating grapefruits and drinking Simply Grapefruit juice all week. I love it! Just the right combination of tangy and sweet. I also finally made a snowcone I was contemplating. It was ok but I&#8217;m not sure I loved the flavor. I&#8217;m going to take what I learned, however, and come up with some winning combinations for my next experiment.<br \/>\n<strong>Food Aversions | \u00a0<\/strong>A few this week, but they must not have been life-altering because I can&#8217;t remember any of them. I did throw up again yesterday after breakfast, though. Ugh. I thought that was over with? LAME.<br \/>\n<strong>Symptoms |\u00a0<\/strong><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, sans-serif;\">I feel pretty huge and when I stand up I am ultra-careful. Been pretty clumsy and have little\u00a0nicks\u00a0and scrapes to show for it. More swelling, but I&#8217;m becoming more accustomed to it. Except for that, I&#8217;ve felt pretty great! My back hurts quite a bit if I&#8217;m extra active during the day or sit funny or in the same position for too long, but I love being more active. So I deal with it. haha.\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Doctor\u2019s Appointment |<\/strong>\u00a0One week until my next official appointment. I have a feeling my appointments will be a bit more intense from here on out. We&#8217;ll see.<br \/>\n<strong>Movement |\u00a0<\/strong>Every little kick has me smiling now. Steven&#8217;s just going crazy waiting until he can really feel them from the outside.<br \/>\n<strong>Belly Button |\u00a0<\/strong>Shallow, stretched innie. haha.<br \/>\n<strong>Gender |<\/strong>\u00a0In less than a week I can discuss it freely! I can&#8217;t wait!<br \/>\n<strong>Best moment of the week |\u00a0<\/strong>I&#8217;m not sure I can pinpoint one moment. Having my &#8220;first&#8221; Mother&#8217;s Day yesterday was pretty special. The whole week has probably been the best week for me. My mood has been high, along with my energy and I find so many things funny that I laugh often and it makes me happy.<br \/>\n<strong>What I miss |\u00a0<\/strong>I have really really really wanted Red Bull lately. I know that&#8217;s nothing new, but we&#8217;re back to that for the time being. haha.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This past week has been wonderful on my hormones.
