21 Weeks: Carrot

Apparently it’s carrot week for Baby Cillo– 3/4 of a pound and about 10.5 inches long.  Or as James put it, 3 quarter pounders?  Yes, I’m sure BabyCenter.com is about to roll-out a new version of their e-mails, providing baby development size estimates based on your favorite fast food: from McNugget to BK Stacker.

I’ve felt Cillo bumping around in there for several weeks, which is good.  Unlike Jakey, I don’t really know when I first felt the baby.  Not sure if this is normal, but when I wasn’t pregnant, sometimes I felt phantom kicks.  I know, weird, right?

I feel better now though.  I’ve always been a bit freaked out that you can have something the size of an heirloom tomato in your stomach and not even be able to feel it.  Freaky.
