Halfway there! 20 Weeks!

Well I've officially hit the halfway point of 20 weeks.  It seems weird to be this pregnant and for it to feel so far away yet to when I'll actually have a baby!  I'm almost getting a little nervous...like when was the last time I honestly changed a diaper...8th grade??? and when has Brett last changed a diaper, if ever?!  Its going to be so weird, yet so so exciting to have a little one around I just can't imagine all of the changes!  5 more days till we find out if its a he or a she, god please make the time go quicker!  Oh and I took a picture last week at just over 19 weeks... here it is for the world!



20 week update - Banana! (because saying a cantaloupe is in my stomach is waaaay to big :))
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).
