Pregnancy Highlights
How Far Along: 20 weeks-- Halfway Point!!
Size of baby: According to babycenter.com the baby is about the length of a banana
Your baby weighs about 10 1/2 ounces now. He's also around 6 1/2 inches long from head to bottom and about 10 inches from head to heel — the length of a banana. (For the first 20 weeks, when a baby's legs are curled up against his torso and hard to measure, measurements are taken from the top of his head to his bottom — the "crown to rump" measurement. After 20 weeks, he's measured from head to toe.)He's swallowing more these days, which is good practice for his digestive system. He's also producing meconium, a black, sticky by-product of digestion. This gooey substance will accumulate in his bowels, and you'll see it in his first soiled diaper (some babies pass meconium in the womb or during delivery).
Total Weight Gain/Loss: +12 pounds.
Maternity Clothes: still maternity bottoms and a mostly regular tops
Gender: BOY!!!!
Movement: He's been a lot more active this week and I'm finally feeling little kicks. Subtle but definitely there. Frank finally got to feel a few little bumps on Wednesday night.
What I miss: a good night's sleep
Sleep: This week has been so, so. I am still getting up and down to go to the bathroom.
Symptoms: Still some constipation which drives me insane. Also pulling in my lower abdomen
Cravings: Sweets but nothing crazy.
Best Moment this week: Seeing our healthy baby BOY on the ultrasound last Friday!!! Frank has but together all of the furniture in the nursery now all that is really left is to get the crib mattress and clean out the closet in that room. I have a follow up appointment with the Dr. this Friday.
