The 21st Week

21 weeks and poking!

I don’t really think there is to much difference this week than last week in my pregnancy.
Really the only thing I’ve noticed is my belly growing .. duhhh haha
Also to my answered prayers… my sinus issues are clearing up SOME. Im not 100% but I am A LOT better this week than I was last week.. so I am very hopeful.

I have had a relapse of more breakouts :(
I guess my body this time around just does not like the extra hormones.
Its not to bad though.

According to an online website they say the baby is around 7 inches long… they say about the size of a glass root beer :)

Also the babies facial features and body are pretty much how they will look at birth, only smaller. The baby also should be growing hair by now.

My next Dr. apt will be sometimes next week… I think on tuesday.

At that one they will weigh me, check the heart beat… and I think maybe do an iron check??

I will then schedule my glucose testing and next ultrasound (I have to have a 3rd ultrasound around 26 weeks because of the placenta being so low).

I am off to nap now though.

We had a busy morning running around.

I got to spend part of it though with a local photographer chatting abt this weekends wedding… While at her place Taite enjoyed some ipod time watching a backyardigans episode I had on it… he was so cute..

Then we spent a couple hours at the local park with some friends!

Caleb really enjoyed meeting this new little boy Marshall. He is 4. He told me in the car that Marshall was his friend and that he wanted to go to his house and have a sleep over some time. Was really cute.

Heres a photo I snapped of Taite though while he watched the ipod :) check out his concentrated look hehe.

    Your belly grew! Very cute. Do you have to do the whole orange drink glucose test? I’ve never done it, and my midwife said she probably won’t make me do it this time either, since all my other tests have been normal.

    Here’s a random… my midwife told me last night that at 20 weeks the average baby is 10 inches long and 10 ounces. I was thinking 6 inches (I’m at 19 weeks) since that’s what Babycenter told me on Saturday, but she said, this is a pretty commonly accepted measurement for a long time. So maybe your baby is bigger than you think!

    I think one reason it looks larger is because i dont have my bella band on in that photo and last week i did. the bella band is so tight it holds me in some :) i have maternity pants on in this weeks photo.

    I do the glucose test every time, even tho i never had any issues with the last 2.. its just required.

    You look so darned cute! If I looked like you and got back into shape faster I might think of a 4th :) Have a great day Andrea!
