21 Weeks
Baby looks like a mini-version of what he'll look like when he's born. All facial features are formed and hair is growing on head. He's even acting like a baby and will occasionally suck his thumb or yawn. Aww ...
Baby's heartbeat is getting stronger and can be heard using a good old-fashioned stethoscope anyone have one lying around? Fetal bone marrow starts making blood cells—previously done by the liver and spleen. This may not sound that exciting, but it's good news.
The amniotic fluid that has been cushioning your little bean now serves another purpose: Baby uses it to "practice" eating. Yes, it sounds gross (as many aspects of pregnancy do), but it's an important step for baby toward being able to eat in the real world. Baby has been swallowing amniotic fluid for a while now, but now the intestines are finally developed enough that he's absorbing small amounts of sugars from it.
Only 135 days left, hopefully this weekend we can start with the baby room there is so much to clear out and nowhere to store anything but so excited to get stuck in, next friday Dr will hopefully confirm if its definitely blue or pink then Im going to go on a mission : )
