21 Weeks

Baby’s Size: Banana
Baby’s Milestones: Right now baby is about 7 inches long (crown to rump) and weighs about 11 ounces. Baby swallows amniotic fluid every day for hydration, nutrition and to practice swallowing and digesting. The taste of the amniotic fluid differs from day to day depending on what I've eaten. Baby's taste buds are already very developed and research shows that babies who are exposed to certain tastes in utero are more eager to eat foods with the same taste after birth.
My Weight: 153.2
Symptoms: This isn't a symptom, but I have been sick all week! I had a Dr. apt. last Tuesday and I was feeling great. My doctor mentioned that this is when I will feel my best and the next month or two is when I should get as much baby prep done as possible. I left all happy to be in the feeling good zone, but by that night, I was feeling terrible! Such a bummer, but as long as our little baby is healthy, that is all that really matters to me.
Cravings: None, although I've been dreaming of cake batter rice krispy treats ever since I inhaled the first batch I made. ;)
TP: 10
Measurements: Waist: 33 ¼  Below Belly Button: 36
Emotions: Considering I was sick and my external hard drive crashed this week, I think my emotions were pretty normal.
Feeling the Baby: I've felt my little man way more this week. Sometimes it feels like flutters and sometimes it feels like little love taps (they are too soft for me to call them kicks although I'm sure that is what they really are). I feel him the most at night before I go to sleep. I love feeling him and I can't wait until Nic can feel him too.
