20 weeks!!! Five months!!!

Week 20: Cantaloupe. Average fetus — 16.4 cm, 300 grams. Baby's digestive system is busy creating meconium (a tarry black substance made of swallowed amniotic fluid, digestive secretion and dead cells), which will fill the first diaper after birth. And, speaking of the diaper situation... baby's genitals are now fully formed!

Now that is what I like to hear — baby's genitals are now fully formed! LOL!! Which means when we go for our ultrasound on Friday we will almost be guaranteed to find out who is growing inside me! So excited!

I felt the baby move the most yesterday, very exciting. When I don't feel it for a period of time, I just have to tell myself that it is still early yet and in a couple weeks (or sooner!) I will be REALLY able to feel movements. Then Mike will be able to feel it.. that will be so great. Hopefully it isn't shy :D Ben sure wasn't!
