Week 21
I’m glad to say that we’ve made it to week 21 now! At this point we were able to go to the doctor for our final scan before the baby is born. The doctor will still monitor the baby’s heart, but we won’t see it again until it’s in our arms! This week the baby continues to practice swallowing and is therefore ‘eating’ and tasting more of everything that I am….so we’re trying to put yummy things into my mouth. Healthy fruits and veggies….and in the coming week, I will put fantastic crabs onto the baby’s pallet so it knows just how wonderful Maryland crabs are!
The arms and legs are finally in proportion with the rest of the body and the neurons are connected between the brain and the muscles. Cartilage throughout the baby’s body is turning into bone…allowing me to feel it more when it’s snuggling for a cozy spot. This is so fun!
