20 weeks - halfway!


I'm 20 weeks today! That means I'm at the halfway point, assuming that I deliver sometime close to 40 weeks. I tried to smooth my dress against my belly today, so that everyone can actually see how big I am. Yikes! I feel huge all of a sudden!
I've been feeling lots of kicks. The baby seems to be active after I eat, which makes sense. It's still a bit bizarre though- it's hard to believe there's a human being inside me, kicking me!
The baby should weight about 10 ounces now, and be about 6.5 inches from crown to rump (10 inches long from head to foot). It's crazy to think that the baby has grown so much. At the one and only ultrasound I've had thus far, I think the baby was 2 centimeters long! My utersus should now be about level with my belly button, which makes sense when you look at my picture. I'm definitely getting bigger!

Yea! Congrats! You look so cute and are hardly showing! It's time to have fun with maternity clothes, Target has some pretty cute stuff and I got some at JC Penny too...and Kohls.

Have you decided on a theme for the nursery yet?
