Week 21: The babies are the size of bananas.
The boys are staying active, especially when I have a cold drink! Their little kicks get stronger every day. We are at the point where bending over squeezes the air out of my lungs so things on the ground stay there a bit longer these days.
What's going on in there?
Your baby's arms and legs are in proportion this week and his movements are now much more coordinated. Your baby-to-be's liver and spleen have been working hard producing blood cells, but now bone marrow spaces are mature enough to help as well. While the placenta is still #1 when it comes to nourishment, now your baby takes in small amounts of amniotic fluid, too.
Next appointment: 3/19/2021 ultrasound
Feeling: Good overall, a little more tired these days and the belly gets that heavy feeling when I’m on my feet.
Weight: 172 lbs
19 weeks to go! (17 weeks until the 38 week mark!)
