20 Week Update!

Yesterday (Thursday) marked the beginning of my 20th week of pregnancy! Half way! It’s quite the milestone! I’m told that the next 20 weeks will go by much slower BUT will be more exciting (baby movements, finding out the sex, nesting, showers, weight gain!).

Developments for the baby include:

-Weighing 10.5 ounces and measuring 10 inches head to heel (about the size of a banana!)

-Beginning production of meconium (gross poop) for its first diaper

Changes for me include a growing uterus, increased fetal movement (its so much fun to feel it moving around!), and from here on out I should be gaining a pound a week, yikes! It has become more difficult to get a good nights sleep and I’m slowly bringing giant pillows to bed with me to make my rest more comfortable. Its quite difficult maneuvering the pillow around the cat at 3am without waking Brian up – he has yet to complain, he’s the best!
