According the Babycenter, here is what happening during my 21st week of pregnancy:

Your baby now weighs about three-quarters of a pound and is approximately 10 1/2 inches long — about the size of a carrot. You may soon feel like she’s practicing martial arts as her initial fluttering movements turn into full-fledged kicks and nudges. You may also discover a pattern to her activity as you get to know her better. In other developments, your baby’s eyebrows and lids are present now.

How am I feeling?

1. Well as of now I’m feeling great. No more dizziness, occasional back pain (nothing I can’t handle), and overall I’m just feeling good.  I’m so excited to be finally showing a bump. Before I was stuck between that “you look chubby but not really pregnant” phase. LOL!

2. Nursery: We have begun getting the big stuff (crib, car seat, etc) for her room. I officially cleaned out her room and started to set up stuff. Now it’s time to decorate!! I’ve decided to go with an owl theme. (Of course, I’m a reader. What did ya’ll expect?)

3.  Baby Registry: Over the weekend I officially registered at Target!!! It feels to real now that I begun to put her nursery together and start a registry.

4: Her name: After many small arguments, we decided to go with Aydah (AE-DAH). I really wanted a unique but pretty name. Also most importantly, Ben can pronouce it.

5: Due date: Because I’ve had a c-section with my first child (he was breeched),  the doctor has informed me that I will be having a scheduled c-stection on or about 37 weeks. Which only leaves me with 16 MORE WEEKS!!!!

Cravings:

As of now, my cravings are pretty much the same. Still love some bbq and lots of fruit. One thing I can’t stand are burritos. Don’t know why but the smell of it alone makes me gag.

That’s it. I’m already half-way there and can’t wait to meet my princess!
