Jeff felt bub move for the first time a week ago. He loves it and is always touching my belly waiting for her to do something. I have found that she reacts mostly when I have something hot to drink or something spicy. I know what I’ll be having for breakfast, lunch and dinner when I get closer to the due date. Nothing much has changed with me except my belly is getting bigger. I am still tired and get exhausted very easily especially when walking the dogs. It freaks me out though in the morning when I haven't felt her move. I just have to remind myself that she is probably sleeping. It is so reassuring when I finally do feel little movements in my belly.
We had our 3rd OB appointment on Monday morning and bub is progressing nicely. She didn’t play hide and seek this time and the OB found her heartbeat fairly quickly (145bpm). I always think it sounds like a galloping horse. I had some conflicting due dates when we went for the 19 week scan but my OB has said that I am definitely due on the 18th November. Which means that I have 3 months 1 week and one day left of work. Not that I’m counting.
Popp Jnr’s Development at 21 weeks… She now weighs about three-quarters of a pound/ 360 grams and is approximately 10.5 inches/ 27 centimetres long from crown to heel. Her eyebrows and eyelids are fully developed and the fingernails cover the fingertips.
Our deck is almost finished. It now has a roof and we are able sit out on it and enjoy the weather (Even though it is the middle of winter it is still quite pleasant). My dad, sister and nephew Harry came over for a couple of hours on Sunday. Harry is now 8 months old and has started to army crawl across the floor. He also has two bottom teeth. The dogs had a taste of what it will be like to share floor space with a baby. Ruby just loved Harry and she kept going over to him wagging her little bum and giving Harry kisses. Winston was a little more apprehensive. I have come to realise that I am going to have my hands full once this baby comes home.
