How far along?
20 Weeks 1 Day...over halfway there...full term is 37 weeks!
Baby's Sizes:
Cantaloupes! They weigh a little over 12 oz (according to last week's sonogram). They are about 6.5 inches from head to bottom, and about 10 inches from head to heel.
Developmental milestones?
They are chugging my amniotic fluid, which happens to taste like whatever I eat. Yum. They are also producing the tarry meconium that will take a container of wipes to get off their bottoms after they are born!
Weight Gain:
About 21ish lbs. My ankles are swelling a little worse this week, and my blood pressure was slightly elevated (117/80 instead of my normal 110/60ish), so I'm trying to take it easy on the salt to see if that will even things out.
Kicks and Punches?
Saw and felt the first kicks from the outside last weekend!!!!! Andy got to see them too! So cool!! I just play with them now...I press down on my belly, and they kick me back. So excited!!! I'm also feeling what I think are Braxton Hicks every so often. Either that or I'm feeling round ligament stretching.
Best Moment this week:
Seeing my belly move around, of course. Coolest sight and feeling ever!
Griswold and I sitting in Ellie May's corner where she used to cuddle with the teddy every day. Miss her so!
7 weeks vs. 20 weeks...what a fun ride that I never thought I'd be on!

Jessica, I'm so excited that you are halfway there! You look amazing! We pray every night for the 3 of you and Andy also! Glad you are doing well! Hope to see you soon!
Love you!
You look so good, momma! Just something to put away in the back of your mind, if you squirt a bit of baby oil on the wipe before you clean the sticky poops, it wipes it right off. Wish I would have known.
You look awesome!!! Yay for halfway there =)
So sweet. I am so happy for you! Griswold looks so pitiful! I'm so sorry for your loss. Thank you for always sharing where you are and how you're doing, of course we're all interested and I love reading how those little darlings are doing.
