21 Weeks - Baby ultrasound week

This week we find out the gender of the baby, we also find out if baby is growing "on schedule". They can also tell if there is enough amniotic fluid, which I have been reading about lately. I am hoping since we live in a dry climate, everything looks good. Sometimes I wake up thirsty, which is a sign of dehydration. I have been drinking about 2.5 litres of water a day.

Last week went pretty well. I got all of my walks in. I only got one day of yoga in and two days of eliptical. I was mad at myself for slacking off my plan, but then I knew in my heart I did everything I could do physically and mentally. Our friends ended up not coming this weekend so we went up to Fort Collins to stay the night with Hil and Tone. We went for a 1.3 mile hike up in the state park. It was gorgeous outside, just awesome! It felt so good to connect with nature and get some Vit D.

Here's a pic of the 21st week, not much different from last week....


This weekend I bought a few things to help out with some of my issues....Not fun to say but my feet and armpits itch like crazy. It's due to the hormones and the sugars and all these things redistributing amongst my body parts. I read something scientific about it and all I know is that it is not fun. I bought some different deodorant, some foot spray and as a special treat some Palmer's cocoa shea butter lotion. All of it has helped a lot. The chemicals in my body are going crazy and I know in order to be comfortable, I need to take care of it.

Plan for this week:
Monday - 30 minute walk, 15 minute elliptical, weights, 10 leg lifts each side, 10 squats
Tuesday - 30 minute walk, 60 minutes Baby Ready Yoga
Wednesday - 30 minute walk, 15 minute elliptical, weights, 10 leg lifts each side, 10 squats
Thursday - 30 minute walk, 60 minutes Baby Ready Yoga
Friday - 30 minute walk
Weekend - Our friends said maybe this weekend they will visit,,,,,if not, then I plan on winterizing the yard.
