Little update ..20 weeks YAY!

Today is July 17 and I am officially 20 weeks pregnant,which is half way through. I am 20 weeks away from seeing you my sweetie pie. Earlier I was complaining to your daddy that you wasn't kicking me all day but at around 7pm you started kicking and you're still kicking. I like feeling your little kicks , i'm going to change my doctor when I go back on Tuesday.

Facts from online:

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).
