This is week 21! Gia is about the size of a banana and boy is she kicking away. I swear it is the cutest feeling! I love it , love it , love it!!!! Gia's digestive system is busy creating meconium (a tarry black substance made of swallowed amniotic fluid, digestive secretion, and dead cells), which will be in her first diaper after birth.
It is also stretching time, where my belly maybe getting itchy and maybe some stretch marks which will fade after delivery, so far none of those, been slathering on the cream all my life and this time is no different! LOL!
Gia is also developing her taste buds this week, so whatever I eat she may taste as well. I am still craving meat like an animal LOL! Some researchers say that whatever a soon to be mom eats now, sometimes, that is exactly what the baby will have a taste for when they start eating... Meat, green peppers, apples, bananas and have to get some broccoli in there Gia!! LOL
I did not know this, but Gia sleeps in the womb for give or take 12-14 hours a day...crazy because I always feel her kicking... maybe trying to get comfortable?... Me, well the hip issues are still an issue.. some nights are better than others, but I do not mind at all and we are into week 21!!
