Hump Day Bump Day

How Far Along: 21w

Total Weight Gain: I don't weigh myself between appointments. It's way too scary.

Maternity Clothes: Yep

Sleep: Okay, it's starting to get a bit uncomfortable though. 

Cravings or Aversions: Nothing really

Best Moment This Week: Learning new things about labor and delivery, and discussing the option of using a doula this time around.

Movement: Yep, she's a mover.

Gender: Girl.

Labor Signs: Please no.

Belly Button in or out: In, but at night, it's the wierd mix. I'm hoping to not have the turkey timer this time around either.

What I miss: Not getting my belly filthy when trying to bake

What I'm Looking Forward to: AJ's birthday party this weekend

Weekly Wisdom: "Only people whom you trust completely, who approve of your birth plan and who you don't mind seeing you nake should be present at the birth." - Your Best Birth

Milestones: Ummm

What the baby is up to:

your baby's the size of a banana!
At 10.5 inches and about 12.2 ounces, she's big enough now that you've probably been feeling her movements.

your baby at 21 weeks
  • As her digestive system preps for the outside world, she's manufacturing meconium -- the tarry black substance you'll find in her first dirty diaper (ew)!
  • If it's a girl, she's already got a lifetime's supply of eggs in her womb -- about six million of them!
