21 weeks

White blood cells are under production. Leukocytes (or white blood cells) form our body's defense sytems. They help fight infections and diseases.
Your little one's skin has changed from translucent to become more opaque.
Your infant's tongue is fully formed. If you were able to peek you might catch your son or daughter practicing giving you a raspberry!
If your baby is a girl, her womb and vagina are formed. Unlike males, females have a limited supply of eggs in their lifetime. At this point your daughter will have 6 million eggs. This amount decreases to approximately one million by birth.
Baby swallows more this week. After your baby takes in amniotic fluid, his body absorbs the water in the liquid and moves the rest into the large bowel. This is good practice for his digestive system!
Wake and sleep periods become more consistent. Some research suggests that baby sets her internal clock to match the outside world's even before birth! Your eating and sleeping habits as well levels of light and noise serve as her signals.
Length is now measured crown to heel.
Baby measures about 10.51 inches (26.7cm) and weighs nearly 12.7 ounces (360g).

WE'RE HAVING A GIRL!!!(:

"A baby girl...one of the most beautiful miracles in life,one of the greatest joys we can ever know,and one of the reasons why there is a little extra sunshine, laughter and happiness in your world today." -author unknown

"A little girl can be sweeter (and badder) oftener than anyone else in the world. She can jitter around and stomp, and make funny noises that frazzle your nerves, yet just when you open your mouth she stands there demure with that special look in her eyes. A girl is innocence playing in the mud. Beauty standing on its head, and Motherhood dragging a doll by the foot." Allen Black

"Before you were born.................I loved you." -Author unknown

Twenty Weeks

You're half way there!
The rapid growth stage is about over. While things have slowed down, this next stage is vital to survival.
The baby's heart grows stronger. Find a quiet place, lay flat on your back. Locate your own heartbeat by finding your pulse. Next lay your hand on your belly. You may be able to distinguish the two heartbeats!
His legs are reaching their relative size. With the increase muscle develop occurring as well, you will start feeling much more than tiny flutter kicks soon!
Immunities are being transferred from you to your baby now. These immune cells will protect her from viruses you've already had for up to six months after birth!
The nerve cells for taste, smell, hearing, seeing, and touch are now developing in specialized areas of the brain. Production slows down as existing nerve cells grow larger and make more complex connections.
Your baby may startle in reaction to loud sounds. Amazingly, she can actually hear noises outside of the womb. Familiar voices, music, and sounds that baby becomes accustomed to during her development stages often are calming after birth.
If your baby is a girl, her uterus is starting to develop. She has approximately six million eggs in her ovaries. About one million will remain at birth.
Baby is about 6.46 inches (16.4cm) and weighs around 10.58 ounces (300g).

1.my favorite number is four.im a very semetrical person,and my subconscious always counts in fours.threes and fives drive me nuts!

2.i despise confrontation.even the thought of it makes me sick to my stomach.most of the time i dont even share my true opinion if i know its going to make someone uncomfortable or upset. not because i dont want to,just because im too chicken.i cant stand it if i think people dont like me or are mad at me.it plagues me until things are ok.and when people confront me,i cry.

3.i love old fashioned movies where the girls wear fluffy dresses and have fancy hair.it makes me wish girls dressed like that nowdays,cuz i would wear petticoats and ringlets every day if i could.

4.my siblings are my favorite people and best freinds in the whole world.theres nothing quite like being silly and laughing with your sister.they know you in a way nobody else does,and i love the familiar,at ease spirit we all share together.when everybody else looks at you like your a complete nutjob,your siblings will totally get your hilarious joke(:

5.i dont bother with one-sided freindships.enough said.

6.i hate unnatural-looking haircolor.i know,i know(: ill give it to you,but i wont wear it(:


ok,since everyone i know has been tagged,i think ill forgo the tagging.bye-bye(:

week 19

Week Nineteen
Your baby has the same awake and sleep patterns of a newborn. He has a favorite position for sleep and recognizable active and rest periods.
Throughout baby's body, nerves are being coated with a fatty substance called myelin, which insulates the nerves so that impulses can flow smoothly.
Scalp hair becomes apparent this week. It has sprouted and continues to grow.
The milk teeth buds have already developed and over the next few days the buds for the permanent teeth will begin to form behind the milk teeth.
If baby is female the uterus starts to develop. If you're having a girl, the vagina, uterus, and fallopian tubes are in place.
If it's a boy, the genitals are distinct and recognizable.
Your baby is swallowing amniotic fluid and his or her kidneys are making urine.
Your little one's size is around 6.02 inches (15.3cm) and 8.47 ounces (240gm).

19 week baby bump

week 18-19

Well ive been feeling the little kid kickin around in there this past week or two,and let me tell ya,it is the weirdest feeling.very cool,but kinda creepy to have a living thing wiggling around inside your stomach.i havent quite gotten used to the sensation,but it usually makes me smile.last night i laid awake for a couple hours and every time i tried to sleep the little jumper would wake me up.(: we have about two and a half weeks left till our half-way ultrasound,at which point we will find out the sex of the baby.oct.10th is the big day...hey!thats reb's B-day!

Week 18: Baby begins to hear
As the nerve endings from your baby's brain "hook up" to the ears, your baby may hear your heart beating, your stomach rumbling or blood moving through the umbilical cord. He or she may even be startled by loud noises. Your baby can swallow this week, too.
Week 19: Lanugo covers baby's skin
Your baby's delicate skin is now protected with a pasty white coating called vernix. Under the vernix, a fine, down-like hair called lanugo covers your baby's body.
Your baby's kidneys are already producing urine. The urine is excreted into the amniotic sac, which surrounds and protects your baby.
As your baby's hearing continues to improve, he or she may pick up your voice in conversations — although it's probably hard to hear clearly through the amniotic fluid and protective paste covering your baby's ears.
Thanks to the millions of motor neurons developing in the brain, your baby can make reflexive muscle movements. If you haven't felt movement yet, you will soon.

WEEK 17-18

Week 17: Fat accumulates
Fat stores begin to develop under your baby's skin this week. The fat will provide energy and help keep your baby warm after birth.

Week 17
How Big is the Baby at 17 Weeks Pregnant?Your baby is anywhere from 4.4 to 4.8 inches by pregnancy week 17 and weighs almost 3 ½ ounces! If you were to hold your baby at 17 weeks pregnant, she would fit snuggly in the palm of your hand. Your baby is about the size of a small pomegranate by pregnancy 17 weeks.
Your Baby's Growth and DevelopmentYour baby during week 17 is now very mobile, gleefully moving his joints here, there and everywhere and will continue to do so as you continue your pregnancy week by week. The cartilage making up the skeleton in your baby's body is starting to transform into bone. At pregnancy 17 weeks time your baby should be hearing things. Your baby will start putting on some layers of fat in the weeks to come, though at this point in time your baby is made up of primarily water.
You may be feeling your baby move intermittently after pregnancy week 17, though as your pregnancy progresses you will likely start feeling your baby move more and more.

Week 16

Head: Your baby's head is more erect now. It's scalp pattern is starting to develop although it's hair hasn't started growing yet.
Toes: Your baby has started growing toenails. :o)
Blood Vessels: Your baby's circulatory system is now working; it's heart is now pumping about 25 quarts of blood a day.

Week 17: Fat accumulates
Fat stores begin to develop under your baby's skin this week. The fat will provide energy and help keep your baby warm after birth.

Baby has acquired the reflex of suction. If a bitter solution is introduced into the amniotic fluid, all swallowing will stop, however, if a sugary solution is introduced, your baby swallows twice as fast as before!

The baby can also get the hiccups just about now.

Baby reacts to visual stimulations. It will use the hands to protect the eyes from violent external light.

Your baby is moving around a lot. It has more space now and will spin around and around and around... You maybe can feel it stronger now.

Sixteen weeks into your pregnancy, your baby is between 4 and 5 inches long and weighs a bit less than 3 ounces. He or she can now make a fist.
Your baby's eyes are becoming sensitive to light. More developed facial muscles may lead to various expressions, such as squinting and frowning. Your baby may have frequent bouts of hiccups as well. For girls, millions of eggs are forming in the ovaries.
