Week 20 (Dec 26 - Jan 1)
This week was filled with last minute Christmas and wedding preparations. We celebrated Christmas with both of our families during week 21 while we were in Bryan for the big wedding so we had to do
Blair's Week 20 Development - Size of a banana, weighed just over 12 ounces in our doctor's appointment and, for the first time, I FELT MOVEMENT!!! This was the coolest and most exciting thing yet!! :) It felt like a little twitching in my stomach that I couldn't see or feel from the outside. So crazy!

Week 21 (Jan 2 - Jan 8)
The Saturday of week 21 was the big wedding!!! Wedding will get it's own post later, but Aunt Kaity was a beautiful bride and we had so much fun spending time with all of our family and lots of friends. On Monday, Mommy turned 26 (this is the same age my Mom was when I was born!) and Daddy brought me a dozen beautiful pink roses.
Blair's Week 21 Updates:
Size of a pomegranate, a little over 12 ounces, producing meconium (which apparently makes for a nasty first diaper) and now has her lifetime supply of eggs - approx. 6 million WOW!
We officially decided on the spelling of her full name: Blair Alise Barton We love it!! Little Miss Blair decided that after wiggling early in week 20, she was not going to move anymore, so I went back to the doctor to have them check her heart rate and make sure everything was OK. A strong 155 bpm and she was moving so much that they had to keep moving the monitor around! And in true drama queen fashion, she gave me a swift kick in the side on my way back to the office. We've got our hands full...

This week Darrin also got to feel Blair moving! I was thrilled to be able to share that with him!!!! Our little princess was moving like crazy and seems to favor the left side of my stomach. My stomach even looks kind of like it leans to the left a little (& I sleep better on my left side)!! I experienced one of the weirdest pregnancy symptoms yet that I will spare the public from, but I will remember it myself when I read this! haha We went on a furniture shopping extravaganza this weekend that left us empty-handed and totally sticker shocked.
Blair's 22 Week Development - Size of a papaya, 10.5 to 11.8 inches and weighs about 12.7 to 20.8 ounces. Eyes & lips are more developed and she is sleeping in regular cycles now from 12-14 hrs per day. She is definitely causing weight gain - up a total of 10.5 pounds as of this week - and itchy skin. Also, some minor back aches and a little more difficulty in taking deep breaths. Nothing majorly uncomfortable though. Plus, I swear I'm starting to get morning sickness. Yes, at week 22!
