21 weeks and It's a Boy!!

How far along: 21 weeks

Size of Baby: As per the ultrasound yesterday, he weighs 1 lb. 1 oz. :)

Total weight gain: +16

Stretch marks? Nope.

Sleep: Most nights I sleep really well.

Best moment this week: Our ultrasound! We found out Baby is a boy, and he looks great. I didn't get to meet with my doctor, because she was over at the hospital; I'll meet with her Monday to go over everything. She told her nurse she saw no concerns. :) Baby is currently laying a bit transverse/a bit breech, not that it's a matter for concern now...or ever really, since I'm having a C-section this time.

Movement: Yes! He is very active! Yesterday he moved for what seemed like a good three hours straight. Some of that time was during the ultrasound, and it was fun for us to see him moving around in there.

Food cravings: nothing really this week

Gender: It's a boy!

What I miss: nothing notable right now

What I am looking forward to: Now I get to do all the fun stuff: pick out nursery bedding and colors, look at some boy clothes and picking out a name.

Weekly Wisdom: You already know your babies have different characteristics; now you'll get to learn what makes them unique and cherish them both for those.

Milestones: Baby has eyebrows & lids, is developing lanugo, is now practicing breathing and may begin hiccupping.

Labor signs: Nope.

Zooey was SO excited at the ultrasound! She just kept saying (practically yelling) "Look Daddy! Look Mommy! Baby!!" It was pretty cute. When the tech asked us if we had names, she said "Peter Pan!" It was so sweet to be able to take her. She is now calling all her babies boys, and last night at dinner she was pointing out the gender of everyone in the restaurant. She's so funny! When asked if she's excited to have a brother, she says, "yes," and said she will be nice, "no mean" to her brother. :)

Could we have a thumb-sucker?
