21 weeks

Sorry in advance for another long post...


Last Thursday we turned 21 weeks. Baby R is busily growing and I can feel it! Here's what else he's up to:

Your baby now weighs roughly three-quarters of a pound and is approximately 10 1/2 inches long – about the size of a carrot. You may soon feel like he or she is practicing martial arts as initial fluttering movements turn into full-fledged kicks and nudges (yes!). You may also discover a pattern to your baby's activity as you get to know him or her better. In other developments, your baby's eyebrows and lids are present now.

How far along:  21 weeks
  • Maternity clothes: A couple new shirts and a new dress on order (which I'm really excited for!)
  • Symptoms: I've been exhausted all week and I'm not entirely sure why ... maybe its all the growing happening inside? Some RLP here and there but mostly just feeling like I might pop. 
  • Sleep: Except for a couple trips to the bathroom at night, I'm sleeping really pretty well. 
  • Best moment(s) this week: No day in particular stands out. 
  • Movement: Yes! Kicks, taps, rolling around. Adam can even feel it now if we catch him in time :)
  • Cravings/Aversions: Craving: sushi sounded really good this week - luckily I can still have the veggie rolls I love / Aversions: still burgers (wondering if that will ever come back)
  • Happy or moody most of the time: Happy but sleepy and a little moody at times (sorry Adam).
  • Looking forward to: Tahoe in 2 weeks!!!

Baby R is already getting spoiled. Lucky guy! We've received some really nice gifts from friends ... thank you!
