I was pretty confused when I saw this week's fruit from The Bump... going from a cantaloupe to a banana seems a bit backwards to me. Then I read that starting at 21 weeks they start measurements from head to toe, instead of by weight and from head to rump. So... our little one is the length of a banana, which is... yep, you guessed it... BANANAS! I can't believe she is that long! Also, she weighs about 12 ounces.
This week's major milestones include:
- Little girl is starting to add fat to her precious little body.
- The small intestine is starting to absorb sugars, so she will start to ingest small amounts of sugar from swallowed amniotic fluid (yyuuummmyyy... cup o' amniotic fluid anyone?)
- She will start to react to certain types of music... poor thing is probably already so use to it by now, and she is probably more likely to respond to silence.
How's mama doing: Maternity clothes? Still in pants only, but I have worn a few more maternity tops lately b/c the ones I have are getting to be too short.
Movement? Yes ma'am! She decided to come out of her hiding place this week. I'm by no means feeling good strong kicks, but I feel a few little kicks almost everyday. It is the most wonderful feeling!
Stretch marks? Not yet.
Sleep? I am getting pretty good sleep. I've just been so hot lately. It's like as soon as I lay down an oven turns on... and that oven is me! Also, if you by any chance are around me when I'm sleeping... don't wake me. J said I am as mean as a snake when he wakes me up. Poor guy.
Symptoms? I had the nastiest sinus headache for three solid days. It was horrible. My allergies have been outrageous so I'm sure that has something to do with it.
Food aversions? Mexican food. Some days I will think, "I can eat a quesadilla. I can do this." Then I spend the rest of the night convincing myself not to puke. So strange... I loved Mexican food before.
Food cravings? Red meat, salads and pasta!!!
Labor signs? Nope.
What I miss? Still nothing. I really am grateful for every single day I carry this little miracle.
Best moment of the week? Feeling my first definite kicks!!!
***I'm not sure why it says this post was published on Wednesday. My weeks bump up on Fridays and that is when I publish these posts... oh well.
