Week 21

Size of Baby: Baby girl P is 12.7 oz {the size of a small banana} 10.5 inches

Baby's Heartbeat on last visit:156- Today we went to the doctor for our October check. We had a great report from the ultrasound and blood test. She is very healthy!!

The nurse taking her heart beat today said she kept kicking the wand. She is like her dad - doesn't want anyone in her personal space.

Gender: Sweet Little Girl

Name: We have decided on....

Caroline

Chris sings & whistles Neil Diamond "Sweet Caroline" to her all the time.

What I Miss: Running without walking- I can run about 20 minutes before I start walking. I don't want to push myself so any little pain or stretch I use it as an excuse to slow down.

Maternity Clothes: Amy gave me the best present ever. A Belly Band! This thing is amazing. It goes over my buttons and zippers so I don't have to try to attempt to button them up. The first day I wore it I accidentally wore the tag showing on the back. Thank goodness someone stopped me before I really embarrassed myself

Movement: She has really taken it up a notch this week. I feel her the most in the morning when I'm sitting still.

Cravings: I read in my baby book that this last week her taste buds & swallowing are developing so I have tried to put lots of variety in my diet. I have been eating oranges everyday. They are so good!

Symptoms: On Saturday I had side pain or round ligament pain. Normal but very uncomfortable to say the least.

Best Moment of the Week: Chris did a wonderful job for my birthday. He took me to Las Brisas {a really good steak house}. I always love getting to hang out with him because he is so much fun. He is going to be an amazing dad.
