20 Weeks!

Argh, so for those of you who haven't heard the news from the appointment is that we have a total stinker for a baby and it crossed it's legs and wouldn't show itself. We tried everything to get it to move; there were kicks, fists, waves and crazy gymnastics moves, but no movement that would expose the rump area. So, although we are 20 weeks, we still don't know if it's a boy or a girl. grrrrrrrrr. I was so looking forward to buying it's first outfit. Haha, oh well. I guess here starts the joy of parenting. The kids already giving me a hard time.I did get some great pics of the baby though, I'll try and post them soon- our scanner is broken or I would have posted them already.

Also, I always take belly pics on Wednesdays (for each new week) but Mike's in Vegas tonight, so I'll have to send them tomorrow when I get to Vegas...

Your pregnancy: 20 weeks

See the big picture

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).
