4th Doctor's Appointment and 21 week update

I had my 21 week baby check up with the doctor today.  He said that everything is going very well!  My blood pressure, heart rate and weight all checked in normal.  The babies heart beat was strong at 155 beats.  I did not have to give any blood today (yea!), but I will next time.  In about 8 weeks I will have to have the sugar/gestational diabetes testing.  However, the doctor said that he feels that I will pass everything just fine.  Other than that, nothing else to report!

21 Week Update:

Size of baby: A banana! At 10.5 inches long and weighing about 12.2 ounces

Organ development: The digestive system is prepping for the outside world, she's manufacturing meconium -- the tarry black substance we will find in her first dirty diaper (ew)!  She also already has got a lifetime's supply of eggs in her womb -- about six million of them!

Movement:  I should be able to start feeling her moving/kicking any day now

Cravings:  Still no strong cravings at this time, but Shawn just went to get me a piece of cheesecake because I really had a taste for it!

Aches/Pains: None for the past few weeks
