21 weeks
So yesterday was Nick and my 3rd wedding anniversary. We had a very low key day which was wonderful. We stopped by Ikea in the morning and got ourselves some dishes along with dishes for Jude and a rug for his room. We then headed out to one of our favorite Italian Restaurants for lunch followed by a nap. Upon waking we headed over to Cold Stone for some ice cream (It was kind of funny because we sat on one bench outside the pallor and another preggo sat on the other bench with her husband.It was a preggers stake out.) and then had a bon fire just the two of us.
Gen and I did successfully live through working the Dalmac Bike Tour. It was the most exercise that I have had on over 4 months. We were crazy busy every day. I came home exhausted and sore but the only thing I really suffered from was swollen ankles which has since gone away. I should be receiving my $ from there sometime soon which means we will be getting our crib and nursing chair which will complete the furniture portion of our baby room.
This past week has been the first week where it feels like there is something inside my abdomen that does not belong. The last few weeks I have have the flutters but now if I bend certain ways I can feel myself squishing the kid which is weird. He has definitely been incredibly active in there. No straight out kicks but those should be coming soon. I can wait until it becomes easy to feel him on the outside as well as the inside.
How your baby's growing:
Your baby now weighs about three-quarters of a pound and is approximately 10 1/2 inches long - the length of a carrot. You may soon feel like he's practicing martial arts as his initial fluttering movements turn into full-fledged kicks and nudges. You may also discover a pattern to his activity as you get to know her better. In other developments, your baby's eyebrows and lids are present now.
