21 weeks pregnant with a Carrot...

Here's an update on how he'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 he's practicing martial arts as his initial fluttering movements turn into full-fledged kicks and nudges. You may also discover a pattern to his activity as you get to know him better. In other developments, your baby's eyebrows and lids are present now.

We spent our 21st week celebration up north in Shell Beach for the Martin Luther King long weekend, a mini-babymoon, and Gabe's pre-30th birthday. Such a gorgeous weekend...sunny, 78 degrees, and felt like summer! I decided to bravely bare my very pale belly for the first time by the pool. The weather was too perfect not to! Our little man is kicking like crazy these days and I was able to see it for the first time from the outside over the weekend. Such a crazy and surreal feeling! Pretty amazing!
