21 Weeks

{Baby Alex is now around 11 inches long (as long as a large carrot) and weighs about 3/4 lbs.}

Another week has come and gone. Nothing super new and exciting except the ultrasound, which I've already written about.

Movement is still just slight and barely noticeable, although I have noticed that he loves to hang out in one certain position a lot, with his little foot jammed right up against the top of my right ribs. Occasionally, like last night, I can feel his head being pushed up against my left side. Jeremy just looked at me last night and asked, "Is that the head??" because I had this little lump jutting out from my left side making me look lopsided.

Considering how active he always is, it's a wonder I'm not feeling much movement yet! They say this is the month where I should really start feeling it. So for now I just get to feel a subtle movement here and there, and have a foot jammed in my ribs. I won't complain though, it's nice knowing something's going on in there!

Just for an idea of the size of baby, here's a babycenter.com pic of 21 weeks. Now imagine this is Jeremy's baby so he's probably twice as big! Okay, maybe not twice as big, but probably bigger than this! I know my belly is much bigger than this picture's!


I laugh because on the "21 Weeks Review" at babycenter it says, "You're probably feeling pretty comfortable these days." It makes me wonder... Who the heck is writing these articles, and have they never been pregnant before?!

Moving on to Week 22!
