21 weeks!

Pregnancy Highlights:
Week: 21
Fruit/Veggie: Cantaloupe/Carrot






Baby Changes: Our sweet baby boy weighs about the size of a cantaloupe and is the length of a carrot! (10-13 oz in weight, 6.5-7 in long) Baby Boy has eyelids and eyebrows that are now present. He is starting to slow down his growth a little bit, although he is still growing and forming remarkably fast! His nervous system, organs and skin are continuing to develop and mature. His digestive system is still forming and maturing as well. His intestines are slowly contracting and relaxing. He is swallowing often and getting amnotic fluids. Swallowing these fluids helps his digestive system to mature.






Gender: As you know we are having a BOY! We dont know the name yet but we are working on it!



Movement: Our little boy is quite feisty!! He moves a lot! I LOVE it! I love feeling it inside my belly. I feeling it with my hand on the outside of my belly. I love seeing my belly move when he kicks! Such a great experience!! I dont want it to ever end (right now of course :))






Sleep: I am sleeping well! Sleeping about the same amount. I dont really have more energy but I dont have less either. I have tried sleeping in several times with no luck though :( Hopefully this summer I will be able to!






Symptoms: I have had a really bad cold this week. It started with a sore throat and now its just my nose. I have heard your hormones can cause nasal congestion. I am not sure if it is a cold or my hormones but I sure am ready to not have a box of Kleenex by me at all times!






Daddy update:Daddy is doing great! He will rub my belly and talk to him and I just love it! I know I will love having him here, but I just love pregnancy and those times! Its hard to imagine it getting better, but I KNOW it will!! Baby Boy Webster is a bit tempermental when daddy tries to feel him moving. I usually count his kicks that I can feel up to 4 or 5 to make sure he didnt do it just once then I will tell Daddy to come feel and he stops. Daddy has felt him move though and I hope he gets to a lot more lately. Daddy is great with me with all my hormones and pregnancy things :) I couldnt ask for a better man to be the father of my children!






News: Not a lot different this week. We are just busy busy busy!! I am wrapping up school as Aaron is getting into full swing of youth events for the summer!! We love what we do and we are so honored to have our jobs and the people in our lives that we do!!




Days until baby boy Webster is due: 130 days!


Mommy to be to a sweet little boy!!
