My baby bump at 21 weeks from the side:
And from the front:
Total Weight Gain: No change this week. I’m still down 6 lbs so far.
Movement: Little Sprout has been really active lately, mostly in the afternoons and evenings. And when I have on tighter pants…I don’t think he likes being squished. Corey has even felt a kick already!
Boy or Girl? Boy!!!
Food Cravings: No real cravings at all.
How I’m Feeling: Wonderful except for being uncomfortable whenever I sit in the same spot for more than 10 minutes. I was so squirmy during church yesterday…I thought Corey was going to kill me!
Size of Baby: Banana (7 in, 11 oz.) Although our little boy weighed about 12 oz. at our ultrasound on Tuesday.
Baby’s Development: Baby is now swallowing at least several ounces of amniotic fluid each day (for hydration and nutrition as well as to practice swallowing and digesting.) He also has very developed taste buds already. With all the movement going on lately, its hard to believe it, but baby sleeps as much as 12 to 14 hours per day!
Best Part of this Week: Seeing our little boy! It was so amazing to see that he is a boy and to see how much he has changed in the past 12 weeks.
What I’m Looking Forward To: We get to see our little boy again tomorrow. There was something on our ultrasound last week that they want to follow up on. I’m praying that everything is okay, but excited about the fact that we get to see him so soon.
