21 weeks

How far along: 21 weeks


Baby's size: weighs about three-quarters of a pound and is approximately 10 1/2 inches long - the length of a carrot



What Munchkin is up to (according to Babycenter.com):
You may soon feel like she's practicing martial arts as her initial fluttering movements turn into full-fledged kicks and nudges. You may also discover a pattern to her activity as you get to know her better. In other developments, your baby's eyebrows and lids are present now, and if you're having a girl, her vagina has begun to form as well.


Symptoms: still feeling great - charlie horses and some hip pain (the other day it was a bit difficult to get around - thankfully it only lasted for a day)


Total Weight Gain: 9.5 pounds

Best moment since last update: I feel the baby move everyday now.  I especially like it when Derek tries to feel the baby move and the baby moves even more!  I'm begining to think the baby doesn't like it when I wear my seatbelt - the baby moves a lot and on our trip back from lancaster the other day it felt like the baby was trying to push it away!


Movement: yep!

Food cravings: hawaiian shaved ice is still on my mind - too bad it's out of season - a close second was a slurpee :)


What I miss: having shirts that fit - i think its time to invest in some warmer maternity tops


What I'm looking forward to: when Derek is able to feel the baby kick

Derek should be able to feel Baby soon! Kevin could feel Mia around 21-22 weeks with the first one (a little sooner this time around). Fun stuff! :)
