21 weeks

It has been a while since my last post...lots going on! We had an event at CFS to honor our friend and fellow crossfitter, Matt Bishop, we raised almost $3,000 for his family! DJ and I had visitors (his father, grandmother and aunt from Delaware), we drove up 101 for DJ's sister's pinning ceremony and finally DJ felt the baby move for the first time!

As of today we are 21 weeks pregnant and looking forward to Christmas!

From TheBump.com

Baby's now the size of a banana!
Baby's digestive system is busy creating meconium (a tarry black substance made of swallowed amniotic fluid, digestive secretion, and dead cells), which will fill the first diaper after birth. And, if baby is a girl, her womb is now stocked up with her lifetime supply of six million eggs (the number will drop to around one million by birth).


I had a prenatal appointment last week and have gained 13 pounds! The Dr. says it's a little high, but healthy. I don't feel like I am carrying that much extra weight and feel comfortable. I am still wearing regular jeans!! We have an ultrasound appointment this Tuesday and then have another prenatal appointment late January to check for GD.

19 weeks

Today we are 19 weeks and growing!!


How your baby's growing:
Your baby's sensory development is exploding! Her brain is designating specialized areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch. Some research suggests that she may be able to hear your voice now, so don't be shy about reading aloud, talking to her, or singing a happy tune if the mood strikes you.

Your baby weighs about 8 1/2 ounces and measures 6 inches, head to bottom —
about the size of a large heirloom tomato. Her arms and legs are in the right proportions to each other and the rest of her body now. Her kidneys continue to make urine and the hair on her scalp is sprouting. A waxy protective coating called the vernix caseosa is forming on her skin to prevent it from pickling in the amniotic fluid.
