Because I hear you are all dying to know \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 I’m in that weird poochy stage.\u00a0 My clothes don’t fit and my husband says I’ve looked pregnant for months.\u00a0 But when I tell people the news and that I’m 21 weeks, they look down at my stomach and tell me I don’t look pregnant at all.<\/p>\n
I feel him moving all the time now.\u00a0 Especially during a meal (blood sugar spike?) and when I change positions – sitting to standing and such.<\/p>\n
My belly button is disappearing way too fast!\u00a0 It’s kind of freaking me out.<\/p>\n
The most annoying pregnancy change?\u00a0 My absurdly strong pulse.\u00a0 I hear it when I’m trying to sleep at night.\u00a0 I feel it in odd places like my scalp, my shoulders, and pretty much my entire abdomen.\u00a0 I feel my heart pounding with extra stroke volume when I climb stairs.\u00a0 I swear I can even feel my inferior vena cava flowing.\u00a0 My hand veins are so engorged with extra blood that they are raised and fat.\u00a0 L&D nurses must have the easiest patients for placing IVs.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
