Pregnancy Week 22: All About Baby

Your baby’s brain is growing daily. Her senses are also starting develop. She can hear the sound of your heart along with your breathing. As she wiggles her fingers, she may touch her face or even suck her thumb. Her lungs are becoming more mature, and she even goes through the motions of breathing. She can also swallow, although she won’t have her first real meal until delivery day.

So it is the start of week 21 wowzer!week 20 didn’t go so well, I was put on bed rest for 3 days, most annoying thing EVERRRRRRRRRRRR! But it had to be done, he’s laying way too low and putting loads of pressure on my bladder and anything else he could find down there.
He has not moved all that much and I’m actually currently at worked propped up on cushions with boxes keeping my feet elevated-this is going to be a looooooooooong day, but on the plus side, my little boy (Dr confirmed it’s a boy) is happy and healthy and kicking up a storm with a pair of long legs (see below)

See his long legs, haha someone does not take after his mom

Pregnancy Week 21: According to Babyzone

Your little one will begin to fill out over the next few weeks. Fat layers form throughout your unborn baby’s body. These layers will eventually keep him warm and insulated once outside the womb. Soft hair, called lanugo, covers his body, too. His eyelids are still closed, making him appear like he’s sleeping, but frequent wiggles will let you know he’s awake. You may also feel Baby hiccupping.Those jerky motions you feel in your belly are a result of little lungs practicing the important task of breathing.

So we’ve made it to the half way mark and to celebrate my body is giving me a break 🙂 no swelling, nausea, cramps nothing except an over active baby, gees when I was all, wish I could feel him move I didn’t know he was training to be a gymnast/kick boxer

ACCORDING TO BABY ZONE!

About baby

Baby is about 10 inches long (crown to heel) and around 10 ounces. Your belly button may become an “outie” as the uterus presses on it from behind. Some women swear that putting a Band-Aid on it helps keep it from brushing painfully against their clothes. Worth a try!

(well my belly button is where I left it but 10 inches is about 25cm – if I remeber correctly-thats scary when you take into consideration, I’m only 1.52, hahaha)

Week 19 starts today (according to latest scan) and along with that comes the sad news that the husband is off to training again, this time it’s just for two months, but I swear it already feels like a lifetime.
The house renovations and things also take place during this two month period which is not ideal.  Because I pretty much figure dealing with an often stressfull job and all the joys that come with the second trimester of pregnancy is enough for me without adding missing the husband and dodging builders. bleugh!
But that aside I’m very happy the pregnancy is going so well at the moment…. heres what babyzone says about the coming week:

In your 19th week of pregnancy, your unborn baby’s organs continue to grow. His body is covered with lanugo—soft hairs and a sticky protective coating that keeps his skin from drying out in the amniotic fluid. Your baby is moving frequently, and by now you should be able to feel those movements. Your physician can hear your baby-to-be’s heartbeat with a stethoscope placed on your abdomen.
