Week 21: What's Up Doc?

Baby Girl Price: Now your baby’s length is measured from crown to heel (CHL).Your baby has grown to over 8 ½ inches long and weighs about 12 ounces.*

Her eyelids have finished forming this week, and she is very busy moving around and swallowing amniotic fluid. You most likely have felt your baby move by this time and have realized that she is not necessarily on the same schedule that you are. As your baby swallows amniotic fluid, her digestive tract is continuing to mature. Your baby is also receiving some of the caloric intake from the amniotic fluid. If your baby is a little girl, then her vagina has fully formed but will continue to develop until her birth.
Lisa: Feeling great, gained another 2lb this week, yikes, I'm shooting for 1lb a week but she will grow as she sees fit. The Dr is good with my weight gain so far so that's good. Dr. Flora said she was very happy with how she was developing and to keep doing what I'm doing. They did want to keep an eye on one of her kidneys because it was hard to see so pray for her kidney, but I'm not stressing about it. I'm feeling her move so much and loving it, I'm sure I will get sick of it when she kicks me in the bladder.
Shawn: Lisa got a crap in my calf this weekend and woke Shawn up at 4am, he could not get back to sleep so that is a really bad sign for him, I hope he gets better at falling back to sleep during the night, he didn't seem to mind, but Lisa felt bad. It was awesome to spend a great date day with one another on Sunday, watching movies, talking, going to lunch. I love my husband! I hope we will still get to go on dates after July.
