We hit 21 weeks yesterday, so we're a little over halfway there! It is hard to believe we'll be parents in four months...yikes! This week Tillman is the length of a carrot and three quarters of a pound according to Babycenter.com!
Babycenter.com also mentioned- "You may soon feel like she's practicing martial arts as he 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."
Since I have an anterior placenta, I'm not feeling much yet from Tillman. Tillman has to kick hard enough for me to feel through the placenta (kind of like he is kicking through a large pillow). I am feeling lots of new things. To me, they seem like little twitches, but no defined kicks or punches as of yet! Also, I know things are getting crowded down there because I have to go to the "potty" every hour it seems (can't wait until he starts kicking the bladder...)!
They also go to say some wonderful things that moms might be experiencing now-spider veins (a group of tiny blood vessels near the surface of your skin),! I'm the lucky winner; I certainly have a few of those! Fortunately, they state these are not harmful. Also, I am fortunate so far to not have experienced any varicose veins, which pregnant women are more prone.

The little twitches you feel is Tillman kicking....They are light when they start. Going to the bathroom about every hour is lack or room but also he my be kicking your bladder if you feel those sudden urgers to go. They only get more intense as the months go along. When you get about 6 to 7 months you will be able to tell which position the bady is in by feeling the shape of your belly. A lot more fun things to come. Enjoy!!!
Awww.. ;) This is cute of you, and you're really going to cherish these videos later when he's out and you cant feel him kicking your belly anymore! i miss that feeling so much! On the other side, i sound awful on video, and will never pursue that acting career i've always dreamed of..haha ;) Hope all is well your way!
