How far along: 21 weeks
Baby's size: a carrot; 10.5 inches (head to heel) and 12 ounces.
What Munchkin is up to (according to Babycenter.com):
You may soon feel like he's practicing martial arts as his initial fluttering movements turn into full-fledged kicks and nudges. You may also discover a pattern to his activity as you get to know him better. Also, your baby's eyebrows and lids are present now.
This baby is so much more relaxed and lazier than Mia was. Most of his movements are stretches and rolls. We did get a period last night of a few strong kicks, but for the most part, he seems to be a pretty chill kid. We think that's a good thing and encourage him to continue with that laid back attitude.
Symptoms: Lower backaches.
Total Weight Gain: I forgot to weigh myself again this week.
Best moment since last update: A healthy, successful anatomy scan that told us to get ready for a BOY!
Movement: Yep (see above)
Food cravings: Nothing specific this week, though I'm hungrier more often throughout the day.
Gender: BOY!
What I miss: Sleeping on my stomach.
What I'm looking forward to: Now that we know what gender we're expecting, we can really move forward with the planning/preparing process. Everybody has their own thoughts on the finding out vs. waiting debate, but for us, it means it gives a more distinct identity to our growing baby, and makes the whole thing even more real.
