21 weeks

Hi Baby!

I had a Dr.s visit and an ultrasound this week and everything looks awesome! You are growing just as you should be, and everything that we can see via ultrasound is functioning properly. Good job, little one!

I am feeling you kick every day now, and occasionally, I can feel you from outside on my belly! SO exciting! Daddy or Geoffrey haven't had the chance to feel you yet, but hopefully soon!

I am feeling pretty good at this point - not a lot of heartburn (I notice salad causes it so I've been avoiding that!), and I've been drinking lots of water. I have more significant back and hip pain this time around (getting off the ultrasound table was quite difficult!) but last night I did a pregnancy yoga dvd and it made me feel so much better! I need to do that more often! Literally, it erased my pain for about two hours!

Your baby now weighs about three-quarters of a pound and is approximately 10 1/2 inches long — the length of a carrot. 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.
