Last night, after just writing about how I had been feeling twitches, I absolutely, positively felt the baby move! I had just crawled into bed and had my hand on the right side of my tummy... and the next thing I knew I felt a ball roll, right underneath my hand... I said, "Holy Crap!" and called my mom!
Today, I am 21 weeks and the baby is the size of a banana. Baby's digestive system is busy creating meconium (a tarry black substance made of swallowed amniotic fluid, digestive secretion, and dead cells), which will fill the first diaper after birth. And, if baby is a girl, her womb is now stocked up with her lifetime supply of six million eggs (the number will drop to around one million by birth).
