This Little Carrot Is Good For The Eyes

Carrots are good for the eyes, yes? Well, this week (my 21st week of pregnancy... 19 to go...) our little baby girl's length is compared to that of a carrot. Looking at my belly and reflecting on ultrasound photos of Baby Girl B on the inside is definitely good for my eye-sight! I am just so happy being pregnant! Baby B is supposed to be around 10.5 inches long and should weigh around 3/4 of a pound. Her fluttering movements have already turned into kicks and nudges. I love how Matt and I can feel her nudging into the side of my belly! Sometimes she will move away in response, other times it seems as if she nudges harder against our hands! Her eyebrows and lids are now present, and her girl parts are becoming more girlie. Think I already mentioned the spider veins and leg cramps... and the belly continues to grow. Love it, love it, love it!

Saturday night, Matt and I went into the city for a little visit with my best friend and her mom who are out visiting from the east coast. We went to see WICKED while in San Fran together. What a wonderful production! Kind of made me miss high school theatre. The character with the best lines, that made me laugh the most, was Glinda. Her gestures and mannerisms had me rolling too! So thankful for a wonderful evening with friends!

Tonight we are having fajitas for dinner! I wish the hubby would have made his delicious homemade salsa... but he didn't have enough time. Oh well... another day. Can't wait to eat. I'm so hungry!

Walked around the duck pond today and saw a little baby duck swimming in the water. "Ducki" as I so affectionately called her was absolutely adorable! Peeping and fluttering to try to catch dinner. Made me laugh.

What a good day. Relaxing tonight at home with Matt. Life is grand!
