Pregnancy: Week 20

This is an exciting week in the baby department as we have our sonogram later this morning to check out how the baby is growing and hopefully find out the gender, assuming the baby cooperates! This is also the halfway point already in the pregnancy--time is flying!

According to my emails, the baby is currently the length of a banana. JP objects to this change in comparison objects from round ones, like bell peppers or tomatoes, to bananas and other long skinny fruits and vegetables.  Apparently during the first half of pregnancy the baby stays pretty curled up, so they measure from the head to the rear, but now that the baby is more active they can measure to the feet, justifying the change.  The typical baby at this point weighs 10 or so ounces and measures about 10 inches long, thus the banana.

 I am still feeling good, exercising, and feeling a little more hungry and a little more tired. I had a little minor indigestion after dinner one or two nights this week, but not enough to really bother me, and then it went away.  I am feeling more visibly pregnant (I feel like I say this every week) but I am still able to wear a mix of regular and some maternity clothes. 

We are very excited to get a better look at the baby this morning and I will post an update with the results at some point. It has been a busy week so I am also hoping to get some other updates going soon on some of our recent weekend excitement.  Hopefully all goes well this morning!
