My Pregnancy: Week 21!

Hello everyone! So sorry this weeks is late,but we have been slammed with work and other really really important stuff :). So, most of you know that we found out that we are having a girl!!! Little Abigail Jasmine Kuhl, Abby J, jazzy Ab or whatever other terms of endearment you choose. At any rate, Kevin and I are so beyond thrilled to have Abby joining us in around 4 months!

Abby is growing and getting stronger every day. She is now at just around 12 oz and she is developing taste buds, which she can start using now. It's rather weird, but in order to taste what I'm serving, she eats a little of the amniotic fluid...according to one of my resources. This she does everyday for her hydration, and to develop her ability to digest. Her eyebrows are present and her eyelids are distinguishable too. This week her little vajaja is developed as well.

As it seems, no new symptoms have arisen yet, but if you can count a raging appetite as a symptom, then that has come in full force. My belly is finally getting too big for me to sleep on my stomach, which is making it very hard to get much rest at one time. As of lately I have been able to feel Abby moving around, but it's always been a soft swooping feeling. On Saturday, Kevin and I were driving, and she either punched me or kicked me..hard. It didn't hurt, it was just so forceful. She did a few more times, but I haven't been lucky enough to receive more judo yet. Fingers crossed!

Sorry again for the late post..if someone has to be blamed, it's Kevin's fault:)

Kevin's fun fact: As much as I hope for our baby girl to want to emulate Ashley in every way, I'm kind of hoping that she doesn't pick up on a few of her mom's idiosyncrasies, such as her INTENSE desire to peel dead skin from my hands, the overwhelming speed in which she speaks, and I could go without the whole sleepwalking thing. In conclusion, I love you Ashley.
