Week 21

Carrots give you good eyesight.
Today is the beginning of my 21st week of pregnancy. Only 133 days of pregnancy remain! Here is what BabyCenter.com has to say about this week:

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 he's practicing martial arts as his initial fluttering movements turn into full-fledged kicks and nudges. You may also discover a pattern to his activity as you get to know him better. In other developments, your baby's eyebrows and lids are present now.

I was amazed when I read 10 1/2 inches and actually had to get a ruler out of my desk to visualize. No wonder I've been feeling him more, the kid is running out of room!

Since the last post Robert and I have been working on our baby name list. We have gone through the boy's names section of the book we bought and we have a list of 11 possible names. We're going to think about them for the next month or two and then try to narrow it down a little more. We've also begun to talk about the nursery, which will have a train theme. And big news in the Sudar household is that my gracious husband has agreed to let me register for the car seat and stroller that I want. The war is over, for this I am very grateful!
