Holy moly, I haven't updated in 2 weeks! Have I told you that we decided on a name? Yep.. Baby Girl has an official name.. but we're not sharing :)
I finally felt her move last weekend (it would've been November 11th). We decided to go to a movie (In Time w/ Justin Timberlake = it was worth seeing!!) and I really wanted Skittles, which is odd because #1 I rarely eat candy and #2 when I do eat candy, it's something chocolately, definitely not skittles or starburst type things. So I gave in to my graving, downed the entire bag (it's okay, Michael kept the popcorn to himself), and a few minutes later I jumped right in the middle of the movie. Michael asked if I was okay and I told him I felt her move! This last weekend she has been moving like crazy... probably because she is so excited about her newly painted room :) We picked out 'Autumn Harvest' and 'Mother of Pearl'... her bedding came last week also... can't wait to order her crib and get everything situated so I can start adding all the detail-type stuff... either way, this little girl is going to have one adorable room!
The kicking feels like little 'pops' or 'bursts'... definitely hard to explain. On Saturday Michael was able to feel her, too :) We can't wait to meet you Baby Girl!

your baby's the size of a banana!
At 10.5 inches and about 12.2 ounces, she's big enough now that you've probably been feeling her movements.
Baby at 21 weeks
- As her digestive system preps for the outside world, she's manufacturing meconium -- the tarry black substance you'll find in her first dirty diaper (ew)!
- If it's a girl, she's already got a lifetime's supply of eggs in her womb -- about six million of them!
pregnancy symptoms at 21 weeks - Some heartburn and/or indigestion. Avoid spicy and greasy foods and other triggers.
- Braxton Hicks contractions. Your uterus might occasionally feel tight as it practices for labor.
- Leaky boobs. Your milk ducts will be fully developed by the end of this trimester.
- Dry, itchy skin, from all that stretching over your growing bump.
- Stretch marks. You skin gets pulled thinner as baby grows. Don't worry, they should fade significantly after birth
