MacNut Week 21


Technically, this is what's going on this week:
  • MacNut is the length of a carrot - ~ 10.51 inches and 12.70 ounces.
  • She is now gaining weight steadily, with fat being added to the body.
  • Bone marrow has started making blood cells.
  • Her small intestine is starting to absorb sugars.
Physical:
  • Weight: 137 lb (+11)
  • Belly circumference: 35.50 in (+5.00)
  • Fundal height: at the U (so, 20 in-ish)
  • Appetite has been really good.  Again, I'm hungry ALL the time. 
  • Uterus is at the umbilicus and my belly button is getting awfully shallow.
  • It is getting increasingly more difficult to put on socks!
Spiritual & emotional:
  • We are realizing that this naming thing is not easy.  *sigh* 
  • I loved getting together with old 3rd Service CBC'ers this week over a meal at the Mandarin Buffet & Grill!
  • We lost MacNut's older sister Penelope at 21 weeks and 5 days.  A big milestone this week is that today (4/30, at 21 weeks and 6 days) I am the pregnantest I have ever been! 
  • Another big milestone is that I got visual confirmation of MacNut's crazy kicks/rolls this week.  While I was sitting on the couch yesterday, I felt a biiiig kick.  When I looked down, she kicked again and my buttons moved!  Hahaha...what a kicky little Jumping Bean.  Makes me feel that much more attached to her.

Congrats! Reading your blog makes me want to be pregnant again (even with little Owen fussing in the other room lol)

I wanted to say that Chris and I cloth diapered and it wasn't that difficult at all. There's a great store in Corvallis - the ladies who work there are so helpful! They also have a website www.weebunz.com. We used the Thristy Duo covers with the cotton pre-fold diapers.

If you have any questions, let us know :)
