Weekly Update - 20 Weeks!!

Holy Moly!! We are half way there already!! Well, at least we were on Wednesday haha. It was an absolutely crazy week last week, and the little peanut is definitely letting me know that she didn't appreciate the lack of sleep! So I have been playing catch up as much as possible this weekend and trying to relax. Little peanut is still kicking up a storm, although Wes hasn't been able to feel her yet. We are SOOO excited to go to our sonogram appointment on Monday to get to see her again and 100% confirm that Baby O is a she (or a he...you never know!!).

How Is Baby Growing?

Baby O weighs about 10 1/2 ounces now. She's also around 6 1/2 inches long from head to bottom and about 10 inches from head to heel — about the length of a banana. (For the first 20 weeks, when a baby's legs are curled up against her torso and hard to measure, measurements are taken from the top of her head to her bottom — the "crown to rump" measurement. After 20 weeks, she's measured from head to toe.) She's swallowing more these days, which is good practice for her digestive system. She's also producing meconium, a black, sticky by-product of digestion. This gooey substance will accumulate in her bowels, and we'll see it in her first soiled diaper. Oh boy!!
