My Carrot! - 21 weeks


I am 21 weeks along :) I hear that Peanut is the size of a carrot. This is what the website babycenter.com says about peanut. "Your baby -- currently the length of a carrot -- weighs about 3/4 of a pound. (Length: 10 1/2 inches, head to heel.)" However, since I went to the doctor last Tuesday and he said my baby weighed 15 oz at that time He might be a different vegetable.

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 her better. In other developments, your baby's eyebrows and lids are present now.

So far I have been feeling ok... I have had a cold/cough for going on 4 weeks. I'm praying that goes away soon. My body seems to like to produce extra mucus! Can't tell you how much fun that is. I feel like I'm getting huge and there is still quite a ways to go. However, I'm very excited about our little baby boy inside and can't wait until he comes into the world. I put away some of his clothes and it just made me more excited! Anyone one have some good name ideas?
