Last week I started feeling a little something going on in the lower part of my stomach but really wasnt for sure what it was. I assumed that it was gas at first but then it kept on so I was pretty sure it was the baby. That same movement has continued this week so it really must be :) I'm still waiting for a big kick but I'm sure that I'll really be hating it when I'm trying to sleep at night.
I went to the doctor for my regular check up yesterday. I'm measuring as I should be and the baby's heartbeat was back up to 150 from 139 the previous week at the ultrasound. I've also been having what is called round ligament pain. It only happens when I bend over and stand up quickly. It feels like a really bad cramp in my lower stomach. The doctor said that its just the muscles stretching, and in my opinion it is more than welcome to stop at any time! I've been reading breastfeeding books and the what to expect book but nothing really prepared me to read on The Bump this week that I could experience leaky boobs at 21 weeks!!! It is way too early for that stuff to be starting.
The baby is the size of a banana this week and weighs about 12.2 ounces. FYI...if the baby is a girl she has already developed 6 million eggs in her womb, who knew?
I'm making the trip home this weekend since last week the weather was too bad. In order to prepare for Sara's wedding in October I need to try on a potential bridesmaid dress. That should make me feel good and pregnant if I didnt before then!
