20 Weeks Pregnant! (Banana Week)



How far along? 20 Weeks (Wednesday, October 19, 2012) 

The baby is the size of a: Banana

New baby developments this week: "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)" BabyCenter.

Total weight gain: It looks like it's about 12 pounds :)

Maternity clothes? Nope, but a larger size is definitely more comfortable now...lol

Stretch marks? A thin, faint vertical line is still on my belly :)

Sleep: Yep; I just have to switch from one side to the next a bit more frequently lol

Best moment this week: Still relishing in the idea of having a handsome little king!

Miss Anything? Not much--but I do miss bleu cheese and cold salami :)

Movement/Feelings: I'm feeling a little bit of fluttering, and I'm more sure it's the baby now! :)

Food cravings: Still, anything salty :)

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope!

Symptoms: Just a little pain where the ligaments of the uterus are stretching more :)

Gender: It's a BOY!!!!

Labor Signs?: Nope (thankfully)

Belly Button in or out? An outie! :)

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!

Looking forward to: Watching Baby King grow some more and finally feeling his kicks!
