Week 21!

Wow! Hard to believe that I am already so far into the second trimester...

So far I feel pretty good...I get alot of Braxton Hicks which I don't like and need to ask the specialist about, but other then that all is good...

I think I am in trouble. I have a gymnist in there and it never quits moving...

I am however, having a great deal of trouble sleeping...mostly because of the INDIGESTION. Soon I may be sleeping while sitting up....

I also have to get up to use the washroom three times a night...

Oh well....no rest for the wicked I guess.

Your Baby:

Your baby is still pretty active and continues to move all over in the amniotic fluid. However, towards the end of this trimester the baby will begin to settle, usually in a head down position. Your baby is beginning to show evidence of eyebrows and eyelashes and the hair on his scalp is much more visible. He wakes and sleeps in regular intervals, similar to what a newborn would do. This may be apparent to you in his movement patterns. He regularly ingests and absorbs large quantities of the amniotic fluid and excretes urine. Your baby is approximately 27-30 cm (10-10.5 inches) and weighs about three quarters of a pound.
