Weekly Update - 20 Weeks

from babycenter.com

How your baby's growing: Your baby weighs about 10 1/2 ounces now. She'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 her torso and hard to measure, measurements are taken from the top of her head to her bottom — the "crown to rump" measurement. After 20 weeks, she's measured from head to toe.) She's swallowing more these days, which is good practice for her digestive system. She's also producing meconium, a black, sticky by-product of digestion. This gooey substance will accumulate in her bowels, and you'll see it in her first soiled diaper (some babies pass meconium in the womb or during delivery).

How am I feeling?: Halfway there now! Feeling her move a lot now. Pretty soon I'll be able to see my belly moving. Still not one craving really. I mean I'll have momentary cravings but nothing that is lasting. Food is still really 'eh' to me. But so far I've only gained about 8 pounds so I'm not complaining really. I still get really tired at night and my low back pelvic area (butt bone) still hurts. I also sneeze all the time! I must be allergic to Moya. :) But otherwise I'm doing good.
