week 21

banana baby!

average size: 10.5 inches, 12.7 oz.
what's going on with baby: "Baby gulps down several ounces of amniotic fluid every day, both for hydration and nutrition and to practice swallowing and digesting. And, these days, those taste buds actually work! Studies show that after birth, babies are most interested in tastes they've already experienced through amniotic fluid. Meaning, think about what you want your future child to eat as you prepare your own lunch."

that's really interesting! maybe i should reconsider our choice of home made tacos for dinner? nah. those still sound super good. i'll have roasted chicken and a salad for lunch though :)

not too much this week (especially compared to last week's excitement!), but we DID go to babies r us this past weekend for fun to look at all the baby stuff! and of course you know as soon as you walk in, they bombard you with this over-the-top cuteness:

they actually had even CUTER stuff than this, by FAO Schwartz, but i couldn't find any images online! i guess it doesn't matter anyway when these dresses are like 35-60 bucks EACH! yeesh! it was fun to walk around the store though and try some stuff out and see what we like/don't like in person. when we left, we both talked about how we can't wait for her to arrive! erik even said, "is she here yet???" hahaha...

other than that, this was a pretty boring week baby-wise! i'm still working on crocheting the rug for the nursery, and i thiiiiink i'm maybe halfway done now? not sure. i just know i'm not done, so i keep working and working on it. no weird cravings or anything lately. i'm feeling her wiggle around more lately though, and it's so cool :) i really love it, and can't wait for erik to be able to feel them too! 

just an easy-going pregnancy so far. can't complain! things have been wonderful. 

and here's a baby bump pic erik took of me from the front since i always take side photos every 4 weeks:

 bigger and bigger!
