I am officially in my 20th week. I cannot believe how fast this pregnancy is going! I'm sure I won't be saying that in a couple of months :)
This will probably be the only post like this because I think they get a little redundant and does anyway really read them? I just like to know how big the little stinker is! This week he/she is the length of a banana which is exactly what I have been craving!
We will find out the sex next week! What do you think?
Bows or Bow ties? Lady or Gent? Mustache or Pigtails?
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. 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).
