Baby gulps down several ounces of amniotic fluid every day, both for hydration and nutrition and to practice swallowing and digesting. And, these days, those taste buds actually work! Studies show that after birth, babies are most interested in tastes they've already experienced through amniotic fluid. Meaning, think about what you want your future child to eat as you prepare your own lunch.Instead of continuing the count up to 40, I'm going to countdown to zero. Same amount of time, but at least I can see the light at the end of the tunnel this way!
How far along? 21 weeks!
Maternity clothes? Jeans I'm in full time. I have some shirts I can still wear though.
Stretch marks? Nope.
Sleep? I wake up about once a night now. Though, I don't always have to get up.
Best moment this week? Ordering my diaper bag and hearing my boy's heartbeat are up there, but Sunday was huge!
Movement? Yes! I felt him for the first time on Easter Sunday. I felt him about 3 different times on Sunday and also Monday and Tuesday. No movement today.
Food cravings? Betty Crocker brownies with walnuts. The SuperTarget didn't have them so I had to go with another brand. Let's see if this works. They're cooking right now.
Gender? It's a BOY!
Labor signs? Nope.
What I miss? Sweet Tea. I really want some.
What I'm looking forward to? My parents coming to town next week.
Weekly Wisdom: Be prepared to change your mind about where you want furniture to go in the nursery! I still have no idea!
Milestones: Feeling my boy move!
Emotions: Nothing really this week, no longer in a funk thank goodness!
Total weight gain/loss? Up 2 from last week, down 2 over all. Doctor didn't seem too worried at my appointment yesterday.
