Banana Boy--Halfway There!!

Today ladies and gentlemen, I have reached the 20 week mark. I am already halfway to the big day!! I absolutely can not wait to hold my little Bradley and smell his head and change his diapers :) I can frequently feel him moving around in there, sometimes kicking, sometimes stretching. I don't think I've felt any hiccups yet, and it's a bit too early for Nick to feel him kicking. Here are the updates:

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).

I am up about 5-6 pounds, and hungry all the time! I've been trying to watch what I eat so the weight gain is slow and steady. Otherwise me and little Bradley are still doing great, no complaints here! Work is going good--a lot of overtime for me. I am looking forward to my 3 month paid vacation this summer :) The hubby is doing well and getting ready to take one of his computer certifications. That's all the news for now, hope you like my new look on here!
