Week 21!

Baby gulps down several ounces of amniotic fluid every day, both for hydration and nutrition and to practice swallowing and digesting. And, these days, those taste buds actually work! Studies show that after birth, babies are most interested in tastes they're already experienced through amniotic fluid. Meaning, think about what you want your future child to eat as you prepare your own lunch.

Yesterday, Derek and I went shopping at target and we bought our first baby purchases! We bought a layette set with little duckies on it (includes a sleeper, onesie, pants, blanket and bib) and 2 cute onesies that say "Daddy's little sunshine" and "Mommy's shooting star" on them. Luckily they are all green and yellow, so they could be good for a girl or boy! It was so exciting to actually buy the items ourselves!

Other than that, not too much else is new. Baby is still very active, flipping and kicking. On a side note, Happy Birthday to my Mom! Hope you had a great day, Grandma Lo :)
