I suppose it's inappropriate to use the word "hump" in a title for anything in a pregnancy blog?
So, we are at 21 weeks and that means we are more than half-way there! By now, this little peanut should be around 10 1/2 inches long and, I am guessing, somewhere around 12 oz (think: pop can... or beer, whichever your preference). All I know is he/she is big enough to kick hard enough to allow Drew to feel it. Last week, he felt it for the first time! If I would pay closer
attention, I could probably get him to feel it more often.
I also understand that at 21 weeks, the baby is swallowing amniotic fluid and can "taste" some of what I am eating. If that is the case, this kid is enjoying cereal, ice cream, french fries, hot sauce, and any carb I can get my hands on lately.
While this baby is keeping me very comfortable and happy, his/her big sister is starting to cause us some trouble. As if I wasn't already nervous about having a newborn and a toddler at the same time, I now have a toddler that throws tantrums when she does not get her way and screams when she is laid down for bed or a nap. We're hoping it's just a phase and that it ends sometime on or before December 10th. I can't imagine trying to deal with both!
