"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."
Okay, I'm assuming this size chart goes my length and not roundness because there is no way a banana is bigger than a cantaloupe in that sense. LOL! Now that I'm over the halfway mark the measurements of Tristan changed from head to rump to head to toe! Right now he is about 10.5 inches long and about 3/4 of a pound!
I feel Tristan move inside of me everyday now. I'm starting to become more familiar with his patterns. I'm hoping he'll be one of those babies that likes to sleep at night because that is when he is the most quiet currently. LOL! He is extremely active during the day. He hasn't made it above my belly button yet. He is still sitting pretty low. He loves to kick and punch my bladder and cervix! Ow, baby Tristan! Oh, well. At least I know he is healthy and that he is doing okay.
Robbie and I keep joking that Tristan is going to be a boxer because he had his little hands clenched into fists throughout the majority of the ultrasound and he seemed to favor punching over kicking in there. LOL! I can't wait to meet him. 21 weeks down 19 weeks to go! =)
