Half Way There!

20 weeks!

How your baby's growing:

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.

Our sweet boy is becoming more active each day! He's kicking and flipping around all the time, especially early in the morning. I told Jamie it's like I have an internal alarm clock! I don't mind though. I like feeling the little guy bounce around - it lets me know everything's ok. He also kicks if I eat anything cold, like ice cream, or warm, like hot chocolate. The best part is that Jamie has felt him move, too. I can't wait for the rest of the family to feel him kick!
