Four days.....only four days till we find out if this little bugger is a girl or boy! We will be posting what he/she is on Thursday after the appointment, so make sure you placed your bets! Without further delay, welcome to our halftime show. Week 20 is such a tremendous checkpoint! It is so nice to think that the harder part is over, and for the first time in my life it's going to be ok to get fat! Kevin keeps slapping my hand every time I reach for an extra slice of cake though.
This week with the baby could be going one of two ways. If it is a girl, the ovaries and uterus are formed along with around 7 million eggs! Now, if Exhibit A is a fella, his little testes are making their way down to his scrotum. Hopefully they make it. Either way the baby is at about 10 ounces on average (about the length of a banana). There is still plenty of room inside me, making it a little harder to feel its movements. Although, I feel it about 5 times a day. Also, little bambino is producing a substance called meconium. This is a by product of digestion. It will hangout in the intestine until the first bowel movement, after birth, which has been reserved for Kevin to take care of. I figure I will have done my part to earn the exemption.
My symptoms include the same as I have been reporting. My appetite is back in full force, probably making Kevin a little nervous (again with the cake) :). I have found myself worrying a bit if I don't feel the baby move as much as I think I should. I need to keep myself in check though. I am capable of letting my mind wander and being needlessly worrisome. I think this is a family trait I was destined to have.
Welp, be in tune on Thursday for the most exciting news, next to the birth! Over and out ;)
Kevin's fun fact: Maternity clothes are expensive. Maternity clothes on clearance are still expensive. Slighty worn Mu-mus from Goodwill are cheap. We have a winner.
