Week 21

I want to first apologize for neglecting the blog the past few weeks. We left for Dallas 2 days after Christmas so I wasnt able to update the blog, than BOTH Michael and I got sick the last 2 days we were there. I am still terribly sick with bronchitis, going on a week now :( I have another Dr. appt today so hopefully I can get another round of antibiotics and start feeling better soon. Now on to the weekly update.

Your Baby: Week 21

Baby gulps down several ounces of amniotic fluid every day, both for hydration and nutrition and to practice swallowing and digesting. And, these days, those taste buds actually work! Studies show that after birth, babies are most interested in tastes they've already experienced through amniotic fluid. Meaning, think about what you want your future child to eat as you prepare your own lunch.

How far along? 21 weeks

Weight gain/loss: Down 11 pounds

Sleep? Sleep is ok, I am getting up a few times a night coughing. Stupid bronchitis
