20 WEEKS!

We are officially halfway today!

How far along? 20 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: =( about 12 lbs

How Big is Baby?: A cantaloupe

Maternity clothes? I think yesterday was the last day of trying to fit in my regular jeans.

Stretch marks? Nope.

Sleep: It goes back and forth.

Best moment this week: Hmm...feeling the baby.

Movement: I'm pretty sure I felt the baby Monday night just in time for 19 weeks.

Food cravings: More aversions. But fruit.

Gender: 20 more weeks.

Labor Signs: No way.

Belly Button in or out? In.

What I am looking forward to: Our ultrasound tomorrow and picking up our crib!

Weekly Wisdom: Eat.

Milestones: Baby's now the size of a cantaloupe!
Baby gulps down several ounces of amniotic fluid every day, both for nutrition and to practice swallowing and digesting. And, these days, those taste buds actually work! Studies show that after birth, babies respond best to tastes they've already had via amniotic fluid. Meaning, think about what you'd like your future child to eat as you prepare your own lunch.
