21 weeks!

Ok... I'm late on that. It was this past Wednesday that I hit the 21 mark but I was busy blogging about my rough night. complaining again. I should stop that. I'm very lucky, actually.


Ok, so here's the babycenter.com picture. These pictures get better and better! i'm so excited! Here's a little excerpt from the website:


Your baby now weighs about three-quarters of a pound and is approximately 10 1/2 inches long — the length of a carrot. His eyebrows and eyelids are fully developed. And you can certainly feel him move. He's oblivious to your schedule, though, so don't be surprised if he starts working out just when you're settling down for the night. If you're having a girl, her vagina is formed now, though it will continue to develop until birth.


Pretty crazy huh?? And yes, it's true what they say. The second trimester is way better than the first! Aside from my rough night the other night, I have more energy and a WAY better appetite. i'm still unsure if I'm feeling her kick or not. I feel things but they don't feel like what I would think a kick feels like. So I don't know. I have my next drs appointment next week, so we'll see what she says. I'm excited to hear her findings and the report on my ultrasound!


Tomorrow is Mom's 4 year anniversary. I can't believe it's been that long already. Still feels like yesterday. I keep thinking how she would be if she were here now. She'd be so excited not only that we're pregnant but that it's a girl! My mom was so feminine and I was so not. haha! I already know she'd probably be going all out by this time if she were here. Makes me sad that I can't physically share this with her. But, that's life right? Anyway, moving on...


So everyone's been asking about names. Have we thought of any? Yes we have. But not a whole lot. Did I blog about this already? Oh well, if I did oops! I don't feel like going back to check. haha! So my mom's first pregnancy was a girl and she carried her full term and gave birth. But there were complications and soon after birth, the baby died. Her name was Antonia. Ever since I can remember, I've wanted to name my daughter that. So that of course is about the only name we have so far. Nickname Toni. For her middle (or actually her 2nd first name) it would be Zenaida, after my mom. We haven't set anything in stone, but it's all we've come up with so far. But we still need to come up with boy names just in case. These ultrasounds are never 100%.


Oh yeah! Here's another picture from babycenter.com. It's a 3D picture of a baby (not mine) at 21 weeks. I thought it was suck a good ultrasound I wanted to post it. How crazy they look so human already! hahaha! I know that sounds odd, but it's so amazing. Truly a miracle... but mostly a blessing.
