Week 21 ... the fun continues ...

As you can see from my last post, I am looking quite pregnant and I still have 12+ weeks to go!  I am starting to slow down and not walking as fast, but I am still able to keep up with most everything.  The next two weeks will be busy around the Alderson household.  Michael (Matt's twin) arrives on Saturday.  We are headed to Virginia Beach for the night for Matt & Michael to run in the VA Beach Half Marathon!  I'll do my best to find them on the course at least once to take a few pictures.  The following weekend we will be in Chicago for one last visit before I am on a no travel list by doctor's orders, along with Rosh Hashanah services here and at my dad's synagogue.

We had another ultrasound today and let's just say it didn't go as well as the first (for ME).  Within the first 10 minutes I thought I was going to pass out.  The technician paused about 6 times during the 45 min session.  It will only get worse as I keep growing ... oh joy!  BUT, the babies are both 15 ounces and looking great!  Sorry but no good pictures from it ...

Thanks to all who voted in our poll!  It is fun to see what everyone thinks what we will be having!  Only time will tell ....

Your Baby at Week 21:  At 21 weeks, your baby is the size of a cantaloupe, and approximately 7 inches long. Weighing about a pound seems pretty big, but he’s still got a long way to go to get to his birth weight. His brain is doing some serious growing too, and will continue to grow until he’s 5 years old!
