Mommy can truly say she is now counting down the weeks. 21 weeks done and 19 more to go, unless you decide to come a week early like your sister did!
At the anatomy scan two days ago, you weighed a whopping one pound alreading and are measuring 4 days ahead of schedule.....about the length of a long carrot (10.5 inches) ! Mommy feels you practicing martial arts as your initial fluttering movements have turned into full-fledged kicks and nudges. Mommy has also discovered a pattern to your activity as she gets to know you better. You are typically active after Mommy eats! In other developments, your eyebrows and lids are present now!!!!
Mommy is enjoying her pregnancy now and she glows... She isn't too big to be uncomfortable, yet big enough for strangers to know that she is definitely pregnant! The third trimester may bring with it a new crop of complaints.....so she better enjoy this phase as long as she can. Actually when I think back to when I was pregnant with your Mommy, I remember being very uncomfortable in the 3rd trimester, but never wished my pregnancy away. I wanted to soak up every minute of her movements in me. Pregnancy is magical and a true gift from God. Hard to believe that was almost 26 years ago.....seems like yesterday!
On the Mommy front, she should lightly exercise daily, which she does by working and chasing after your toddler sister, prop up her feet and legs whenever possible, sleep on her left side, and wear maternity support hose at work! Her legs are already swelling after a long day at work! She is also dealing with indigestion and sciatica pain... OUCH! But you are sooooo worth it! .....Oh and her belly button is starting to pop out!
Love you,
MiMi
