21 weeks

Super movement this week and baby finally got strong enough that I've felt movements while standing. The movements haven't been consistent enough (or high enough) that I could try feel them from the outside while standing. How weird would it look with my hand way down on my pelvis while standing outside on duty at work? Lmao. But the movements are often just one or two at a time. Sometimes baby really gets moving and kicks like 10+ times in a row. That happened the other day when DH and I were able to feel the movements from the outside. I feel pretty miserable by the end of the day. It's like the growing pains I used to have in my legs all the time as a kid, but in my stomach. It makes it really hard to sleep at night. I'm almost at the point of needing a wedge or something to stick under my stomach because it's already so heavy.


How your baby's growing:

Your baby now weighs about three-quarters of a pound and is approximately 10 1/2 inches long — the length of a carrot. You may soon feel like she's practicing martial arts as her initial fluttering movements turn into full-fledged kicks and nudges. You may also discover a pattern to her activity as you get to know her better. In other developments, your baby's eyebrows and lids are present now, and if you're having a girl, her vagina has begun to form as well.
