I can tell my body is hard at work making this baby, but it's getting a little easier. The last two days at work I didn't have to take a nap during lunch! And it's Sunday and I didn't take a nap, however I did get a little car sick. Bloating is still the most annoying part, but after reading how my intestines are slowing everything down so my baby can soak in the nutrients makes me feel better. My husband is a little shocked by how "big" I already look. I wanna say, "shut up!" Like I don't know... oh well. At least he's not commenting negatively about my new cup size :) Oh and twice today I got a little light headed so I need to make sure I stand up slow. Thats going to be hard at work.

Fun Facts For Birthday 05/05/2010
Your baby will be born in the Year of The White Metal Tiger
Half Birthday: November 3
Birthstone: Emerald (Love, Success)
Astrological Sign: Taurus
Birth Flower: Lily_of_the_Valley or Hawthorn (Yellow, Red and Green)
This time next year your baby will be 21 Weeks Old!
Your baby will start kindergarten in 2015, be old enough to drive a car in 2026, graduate high school with the class of 2028, and will finish college in 2032, give or take a year. Can you imagine?
This week marks the end of the embryonic period and the placenta is developing as well. Your baby looks like a tiny human now and is approximately 13 - 17 mm or about 0.51 - 0.66 inches in length (about the size of a raspberry). At this point, he weighs approximately 1 - 1.5 grams (the weight of a paperclip).
While the internal reproductive organs have now become either testes for boys or ovaries for girls, there's nothing yet to tell you whether it's a boy or girl even if you look closely. The skeleton has begun to form as cartilage and bones take shape. The baby's intestine has begun to move out of the umbilical cord into the baby's abdomen and your baby is now taking his first few drinks - he's drinking amniotic fluid. Remember, a little of what you eat and drink ends up in the amniotic fluid so, it can end up in him. Reflex muscle movements continue and now your baby will move away if touched through the uterine wall. Other changes in your baby are the heart valve formation, the retina formation, and the tip of the nose becoming visible.

This post is just too coincidental! When I was going through a box the other day, I found an ultrasound picture of Hazel from exactly a year ago on 9/25/08 and here I was holding my adorable 21 week old baby and I couldn't believe how much my life has changed! So now when I see your post that says at this time next year your baby will be 21 weeks it is just too crazy! I am so excited for you guys, it is amazing how much is in store for you two (actually three!) over this next year.
