How far along? I am currently just over 21 weeks along and passed the half way point. Praise the Lord!!
Average size of baby? Average weight is around 12 to 16 ounces and measures around 10.5 inches. About the size of a small cantaloupe.
Development this week? baby's skin begins to thicken and will develop into four layers. The sebaceous glands secrete a waxy substance to cover and protect the skin called vernix. Scalp hair and toenails are forming.
Symptoms? The morning sickness is finally subsiding...I think :) Lately I have been getting horrible charlie horses in the middle of the night.
Cravings? Still baked potatoes and lately lemonade...this past week I have actually started to feel more hungry then before. I successfully ate my first footlong sub and it didn't even hurt! haha
Weight gain? 9lbs
Best moment this week? Within the past few weeks we were both able to feel the baby move. It was such an exciting moment! Now I can feel baby moving pretty much all day long. We also had a 17 and 20 week ultrasound confirming a healthy baby girl. We feel so incredibly blessed!!
Name? We have decided on Lucy...I have always loved old classic names and this name has always been one of my favorites. It just hasn't felt right calling her anything else since the day we found out she was a girl! We are still deciding on a middle name and open to ideas!

I think "Lucy Alyn Mendoza" is cute:)
Rashel- Look at old family names to see if anything fits. Considering when you are do: May (Mae) Lucy Mae Mendoza, has a nice ring. :) Glad that you are feeling better too, makes pregnancy much more enjoyable. Love, Donna
