20 Weeks (HALF WAY) and my Official Birthday!

  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.

It is officially my birthday today! I was able to enjoy my last day off from a mini vacation with my husband, because he had a rain day from work. Today consisted of sleeping in finally, My mother-in-law taking me out for a really good birthday lunch, coming back home for a nap LOL ( how did that happen), and a surprise visit from my sister and best niece in the world! It has been a really nice day of reading and relaxing. Although I feel real guilty because Zack has been working on the nursery all day today while I have been "reading and relaxing". That's what birthday are for.LOL Zack replaced the window in our nursery, throwing up wainscoting and beautiful trim, AND replaced closet doors. We are still waiting for our furniture to come in and after tomorrow we will decide on bedding and paint colors. I am getting really excited and so is Zack! The "BIG NEWS" comes tomorrow..................
