20 weeks

I got so busy the last week and I did not get to talk about my wonderful 20th week. I am feeling Corbin more and more. I am thinking next week he will kick harder so Daddy might be able to feel it. I have been having the lovely frequent urination and I love Dairy! Milk shakes and potatoes are my things! I am so excited to get started on the room in the next couple of weeks We are getting super excited for our new addition.

Your baby weighs about 10 1/2 ounces now. He'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 his torso and hard to measure, measurements are taken from the top of his head to his bottom — the "crown to rump" measurement. After 20 weeks, he's measured from head to toe.)

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).
