21 Weeks


Peanut's the size of a pomegranate! (Or for the men, about the size of a bottle of beer)

At 10.5 inches and about 12.7 ounces, she's big enough now that you've probably been feeling her movements.  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!

Feeling Peanut move around all the time now, not just in the evenings when I'm relaxing.  Our ultrasound is this Thursday.  I'm excited to see Peanut.  It will be a full room as Michael, Patrick, and the twins I have for daycare are all coming with.  They, the girls, keep asking me when the baby is coming and if they will get to see the baby.
