21 Weeks Today!

I am 21 weeks pregnant today... that is, unless my doctor changes my due date when I go for my next appointment. If that's the case, I am already 22 weeks! Either way, I am past the half-way mark.

This is a little info. from Week 21...

How your baby's growing: Your baby now weighs about three-quarters of a pound (Isaac was actually 14 oz. at 20 weeks) and is approximately 10 1/2 inches long. His eyebrows and eyelids are fully developed. And you can certainly feel him move. He's oblivious to your schedule, though, so don't be surprised if he starts working out just when you're settling down for the night.


My body is achey and tired most of the day. According to my doc and all the pregnancy books, it's best to drink at least 64 oz. of water a day. That equals about a million trips to the bathroom (including 11 p.m., 3 a.m., and 6 a.m.)! Lucky me, I am home to take afternoon naps on really bad days. My belly is growing and growing each day. I think my weight gain is also increasing... I hope that skinny doctor doesn't yell at me next week. I am still very much under the normal weight gain number by this time, so I'm not worried.
