Week 21

So this week is almost over already. I can't believe there is just 19 weeks before the baby arrives. Overall I am feeling good but baby is making me a little of a hormonal mess. Some days I am perfectly normal and others where I am just quick to get upset. I can tell I am gaining weight and my belly is rounder that ever. I am starting to little kicks here and there...but some days just flutters.

Here is what what is happening in Week 21.

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 she's practicing martial arts as her initial fluttering movements turn into full-fledged kicks and nudges. You may also discover a pattern to her activity as you get to know her better. In other developments, your baby's eyebrows and lids are present now, and if you're having a girl, her vagina has begun to form as well.

Dad and Norma have decided on the crib they are getting us. It's from the Munire Essex Collection. I am getting it in Sienna (Cherry) to match the rocking chair that my mom is letting me have. I think it will go nicely. Sandro and I are undecided on the hutch/dresser because it's a little out of our price range. Maybe it will go on sale. A girl can hope right?



This is the mattress we are going to get. It's a great deal for an organic mattress. We are getting it at Costco.



We have also started to register at Babies R Us and Target. Being first time parents I hope we are registering for the right things. I am seriously considering cloth diapering . But I may wait until the baby comes to do one of these type of sample programs.
