Today marks the beginning of our little baby boy's 21st week of development in the womb. Twenty weeks already? and yet twenty more weeks to go????? According to babycenter.com our little one is about the size of a carrot, 3/4# and about 10 1/2 inches long. At our OB appointment last week little one was weighing slightly above 3/4 of a pound at 13 oz and was measuring a week ahead so technically he's almost hitting a pound today and about the size of a spaghetti squash. But for the sake of mommy's blog and the possibility of occasional growth spurts we'll continue on as initially planned and remain at a carrot for this week :)
Some of the things I have enjoyed during the 2nd trimester have been...
1. Love maternity pants! I love this stretch band that goes around my tummy! So comfy!
2. Love not having to worry about tucking in my tummy :)
3. Love the feeling of little baby Tan moving around
4. Love that my wonderful husband has been more than wonderful to me during this time of adjustment for the both of us. From making sure there's enough light during the night so I can see where I am walking during my routine trips to the bathroom during all crazy hours of night.
5. Love that we're having a boy! Knowing that Shaun will have so much fun instilling his commando and boyish ways in him brings me such joy!
6. Love that I feel so great both emotionally and physically. The first trimester sure was hard in both these areas.
7. Love that though there will be much much change about to enter our lives in about 20 weeks or so we are excited about seeking knowledge and wisdom about being first time parents we are also excited about finding contentment and flexibility with our little one.
8. Love that there is much more to come that I will find myself loving...
