21 weeks

I'm officially 21 weeks today. :) Still waiting on the results of that blood test from 5/7. I'm trying not to let it bother me. I went shopping at some outlets with my mom yesterday. Stopped to motherhood maternity and bought a shirt that says "Prince in Progress." :) Also stopped to the Salvation Army and found some maternity jeans that fit great for less than $4. I definitely need to go back there!!

I've been feeling baby moving more, finally!! :) I've been waiting for this for quite a while. I notice it the most when I'm going to sleep & lying on my left side. So happy to finally feel baby move.

According to babycenter.com:

Your baby now weighs about three-quarters of a pound and is approximately 10 1/2 inches long — the length of a carrot. You may soon feel like she's practicing martial arts as her initial fluttering movements turn into full-fledged kicks and nudges. You may also discover a pattern to her activity as you get to know her better. In other developments, your baby's eyebrows and lids are present now, and if you're having a girl, her vagina has begun to form as well.

According to thebump.com, baby is the size of a pomegranate:
