One more thing to worry about...
So Greyson has been sick. Icky nasty sick since Thursday (didn't know this till Saturday). Of course, it happens over the weekend when the dr's are closed. So we got in today, he is feeling better of course. But he was diagnosed with "fifth disease" which to him means nothing. It is just a minor virus that causes a rash. However, now I had to get a blood draw today and most likely again in another 4 weeks due to the possible risks to Pumkin...darn germs!

More Belly Pic Fun....A comparison for you gender hounds
Here are some side by sides of how Greyson was carried and now how Pumkin is riding. Greyson's belly is on the left, Pumkin on the right.
14 weeks for Greyson, 13 weeks for Pumkin:
Then, Greyson at 20 weeks and pumkin at 18 weeks

Belly pic time...
So I have been promising belly pics...and I have actually been taking them, but haven't gotten to posting them yet. So if I can figure it out, I am going to post a few on here in sequence so you can see how pumkin is growing!
Here is pumkin:
At 13 weeks ( left) 18 weeks (middle) and then At 15 weeks (right)...reference these for the new poll!
More U/S reckenoings
So I forgot to mention some of the u/s info...product of blogging when tired. I have been convinced that something is weird with this baby, in comparison to Greyson when it comes to movement. This baby just seems lazy. It appears the position has something to do with it, although all of the owt say that females are less active than males in the womb.
The tech told me that at this point, the baby is breech. Exact positioning being, head on right side, back across the belly and then has his/her feet curled up or more accurately hanging down into my girl parts. This explains my feeling that this baby just feels low. Pumkin's feet are just sitting on or sometimes tapping on my bladder and cervix. This also explain how the majority of movement I feel is tickly stuff...Pumkin's hands and only the kicking down real low.
The baby is definitely mine, it spent the entire u/s with it's hand over it's face, which is very often how I sleep, which is what Pumkin was doing as we interrupted the nap.

Ultrasound Info...
Well, despite this little one being very uncooperative during the ultrasound, it was still amazing to see the little pumkin in there. Unfortunately, the techs don't really tell you anything. They are not supposed to. So next Friday, I will hear from Dr. J that all is well.
The little one spent the entire ultrasound with his/her hand over it's face. The tech was trying to get a picture and instead of the 5 we left with of Greyson, which were 5x7's (profile, face, waving, feet, etc.) we got 1 3x4 that really doesn't look like much.
It was really hard to see much. I could tell that the , spine looked good, other than that I couldn't tell much. She also showed us the gender, but didn't tell us, and didn't confirm our guesses. Again, it was hard to tell anything. Unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed with whole thing. We didn't get our normal tech, had to drive to the hospital instead of our comfortable clinic, and then the baby just wasn't into being photographed...
Oh well, 19 more weeks and we will have a little one to love...

Week 21 Baby Development
You are 21 weeks pregnant. (fetal age 19 weeks)
Length is now measured crown to heel.
The fetus has grown to 10.5 inches (27 cm) - 12.7 ounces (360 grams).
It is now gaining weight steadily, with fat being added to the body.
Bone marrow has started making blood cells.
Their small intestine is starting to absorb sugars.Your baby's bone marrow has started making blood cells, a job done by the liver and spleen until this point. The placenta has provided nearly all of your baby's nourishment, now your baby will begin to absorb small amounts of sugar from swallowed amniotic fluid.
Based on the size of baby's head, which is about 2 inches (5cm), the date of birth can be determined to within one week. The fetus is steadily gaining fat and has grown a whitish coat of a slick, fatty substance to protect skin in amniotic fluid and to ease delivery.
In girls, the vagina is formed and the ovaries already contain over six million eggs which will be reduced to about 400 by the time of puberty. For boys, the testes begin to descend from the abdomen this week. (Boys don't produce sperm until puberty).
The baby can hear and recognize the mother's voice, and may respond to some types of music.

Pumpkin likes...
Mexican food, coke floats, and chinese.
A baby after my own heart...well at least with some of my food preferences. I noticed a lot of movement in response to eating these items while on vacation. The Mexican I think is the favorite of the list. It was that night, Tuesday, March 3rd, when I felt the first very distinguishable kick from the inside and out!
