Feeling Large Today

I definately feel large today! Even Charlie made a comment about how I am REALLY starting to show now. Most of my clothes have been hiding it (not that I am trying to or want to) and now, nothing really hides it. This weekend I went dress shopping with my sister and some family. It was a lot of fun and I can't believe she found her dress so soon...but it is so Beautiful and she is going to be the most beautiful bride! Anyway, we went to a boutique that I went to A LOT when I was planning my wedding, so the owner remembered me. As soon as she realized who I was she came up to me and started rubbing my belly! When we left I was telling my mom and sister that she was being kind of risky coming up to me and rubbing my belly. My mom and my sister gave me this look like what are you talking about. I just said it's not like you could really tell that I am pregnant right now. They both looked at each other and looked at me and just started dying out laughing. Then my sister said No boo boo you can definately tell you are prego, there was nothing risky about her rubbing on your belly. We all got a laugh out of it...who was I kidding!!!

Anyway, so today I am 21 weeks. I feel a little uncomfortable today. The belly is definately tighter today than it has been...maybe it's just in my head! Regardless, just getting in and out of the car is a tiny bit more difficult than before!

Owen is as big as a BANANA! He should be around 10.5 inches long and should weigh around 12.7 oz. I can't believe he should have grown 4 inches in 7 days! He is practicing swallowing and drinks several ounces of amniotic fluid a day for hydration and nutrition. He now has taste buds! Now that he is drinking amniotic fluid, studies show that he is likely to acquire a taste for stuff he tastes from the amniotic fluid. This means I should watch what I EAT!
