Past half way


We began our 21st week! At this time the baby swallows lots of amniotic fluid daily. From what I understand the taste of the fluid differs from day to day depending on what I eat. The smorgasbord of tastes won't be lost on little Eggert either, because the taste buds are already very developed. Though I seem to eat more basic foods and toned down flavors while pregnant (compared to my usual all over the place taste), I get big kudos from the doctor regarding my nutrition and food verity. I think there is something to eating well and introducing food flavors while pregnant and breastfeeding. Though Guin has typical kid likes of desserts and fruits, she is a well rounded eater with a love of veggies plus a tolerance for strong flavors and spice. She eats her meat and proteins too, though she’s not too crazy about nuts in standard form (crunchy) she does enjoy an occasional creamy nut spread. I am a bit of a foodie as most people know and am excited to have such an adventurous eater to share food experiences with. I hope with the next one, they also don’t put up a fight when it comes to eating and eating well.

  1. Yippee! Passed half way, that's an official milestone... Taking in, while pregnant,a smorgasbord of foods with varying taste maybe why Guinny has such a wonderful and developed palate... Hope eggert have the same blessing!
