21 Weeks

"It's a Banana!  Baby gulps down several ounces every day of the amniotic fluid for hydration and nutrition and to practice swallowing and digesting. And, these days, those taste buds actually work! Studies show that after birth, babies are most interested in tastes they've already experienced through amniotic fluid. Meaning, think about what you want your future child to eat as you prepare your own lunch."


I had a doctors appointment last week Tuesday, and everything went well.  Baby's heartbeat was about 140, and I have officially gained 9 pounds.  They expect me to gain about a pound a week from here on out, which is just about exactly the same as I gained with Regan.
