Another week has flown by and now we've hit the 21 week mark. Here's what baby's been up to:
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've already experienced through amniotic fluid. Meaning, think about what you want your future child to eat as you prepare your own lunch.
Good thing I've made sure to eat a lot of ice cream this week. The baby's going to have one giant sweet tooth! I'm waking up almost every night to go to the bathroom and I can only imagine that it will get worse as the baby gets bigger.
