Half Baked!

How far along: 20 weeks

How big is baby?: Baby's now the size of a cantelope!
What is baby doing? Baby gulps down several ounces of amniotic fluid every day, both for nutrition and to practice swallowing and digesting. And, these days, those taste buds actually work! Studies show that after birth, babies respond best to tastes they've already had via amniotic fluid. Meaning, think about what you'd like your future child to eat as you prepare your own lunch.

Total weight gain: 8 lbs

Maternity clothes: I'm wearing about 90% maternity. My regular shirts are getting a little short and snug.

Sleep: I've been tossing and turning a little more than usual. It doesn't help that my 16 mo old hasn't been sleeping well lately.

Movement: Feel a lot of little kicks at night

Milestones: Half way there! Had the anatomy u/s yesterday! Still team green :)

What I'm looking forward to: Nice summer days at the pool
