week 21

Did you know that your baby has sleep-wake cycles just like you do? If you can now feel your baby moving around, you may have noticed them: She wakes up and wiggles around, then settles in for a nap before repeating the whole process over and over again. Babies tend to be particularly active in the late evening, just when mom is trying to get to sleep. (Sound familiar?) This week, your baby’s bone marrow is beginning to produce blood cells—her liver and spleen have been handling this job so far. She’s starting to swallow the amniotic fluid she’s floating in and absorbing sugar and water from it. The sugars pass through her digestive system and provide nourishment—although nowhere near as much as she’s getting from the placenta.
