21 weeks and more...




Tate now weighs about three-quarters of a pound and is approximately 10 1/2 inches long — the length of a carrot. I may soon feel like she's practicing martial arts as her initial fluttering movements turn into full-fledged kicks and nudges. I may also discover a pattern to her activity as I get to know her better. In other developments, baby's eyebrows and lids are present now, and her vagina has begun to form as well. (BabyCenter.com)

Well, I'm more than half way through pregnancy. Very hard to believe! I feel like I just saw the "two lines" on the pregnancy test. I have to say this is the happiest and excited I've ever been in my whole life. I feel so at peace and so content! I feel great, and I'm sleeping much better. I can already feel Tate kick and move around! It's the neatest thing!! Tate loves it when I play Baby Genius/classical baby music to her at night. I've heard that this makes babies smarter. I really believe it does! We sing on the way home from work every night. On the other hand, Bella, my four yr. old Shitzu, is my other baby. I'm a little worried about Bella's jealousy towards her sister Tate. I can't talk to someone without her coming in the middle and barking until I pick her up. sheesh! I've heard of some ways to orient her to Tate. I'm going to start them now. If anyone else knows some other good way to get her used to Tate, let me know.

Belly pics are coming!!

Bella will be just fine. Hate to tell you, but Tate will rule the house once she's here. Bella will become a dog and not a baby. My dogs had to learn the hard way. Miss you!

I agree with Jac, though I still loved my kitties. We called them our "flowers in the attic" because that where they went (our attic is finished room) as soon as we arrived home from the hospital. Good thing they didn't mind but truth being is that we didn't care. All the sudden our babies had become dirty felines who we were afraid to let too close to our precious angel. ha ha. It wears off ... or maybe it doesn't. ;o)
