What’s new with the baby?<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
At 10.5 inches and about 12.2 ounces, she’s big enough now that you’ve probably been feeling her movements.During week 21, baby’s digestive system preps for the outside world; she’s manufacturing meconium — the tarry black substance you’ll find in her first dirty diaper!<\/div>\n

(Not sure how we went from a banana to a pomegranate.\u00a0 that seems…backwards.)<\/div>\n

How am I feeling?<\/strong><\/div>\n

Overall..not bad.\u00a0 No heartburn since those 2 days last week.\u00a0 Must have been a fluke thing.\u00a0 Or, it could have been that we had some lemonade in the house and I had some both of the days I had heartburn, and that’s it.\u00a0 Coincidence?\u00a0 Maybe…so long as it stays gone, I’m fine with it.\u00a0 And I might just avoid lemonade from here on out, just in case.\u00a0 Otherwise, I’m just feeling sort of large.\u00a0 And I’m feeling slightly overwhelmed with the change in my *almost* two year old.\u00a0 He has started getting frustrated and tantrum-y when things do not go his way.\u00a0 I feel like it was a sudden change and I’m not sure what to do with it, but thankfully, the bouts of it are pretty short and he is usually pretty easily distracted.\u00a0 He’s such a good and easy-going kid, that this sort of behavior is just foreign.\u00a0 I hope it will be a pretty short phase.\u00a0 On the flipside, he is really into hugging and kissing right now, so that mostly makes up for the whining and crying.<\/p>\n

Weight gain?<\/strong><\/div>\n
Today was supposed to be my prenatal appt, but it got cancelled since there is a mom in labor at the birth center.\u00a0 Hopefully we can get it rescheduled soon.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
What do I miss?\u00a0 What am I looking forward to?
\n<\/strong><\/div>\n

Family is here!\u00a0 yay!\u00a0 We’re having fun so I’ll keep this week’s update short.<\/p>\n

Preparedness?<\/strong><\/div>\n

Nothing really new this week on this front.<\/p>\n

Highlights of the week?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I can’t think of anything particularly stand-out except for Urijah’s first real haircut a couple nights ago.\u00a0 He was freaked out and he cried, but a lollipop and holding Dad’s hand for the duration seemed to help quite a bit.<\/p>\n

Belly pic:<\/strong><\/p>\n

we missed last week’s picture, but I’m going to try really hard to get one taken this week.\u00a0 Who knew it was so hard?!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
