How far along: 20w1d
Total weight gain: 13 pounds!
Size and growth of the baby: 10 1/2oz. & 10 inches long from head to heel [similar to a banana in length]
From my weekly email: You're at the halfway mark — congratulations! The baby is swallowing more these days, which is good practice for his digestive system. [S]he's alsoproducing 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 (although some babies pass meconium in the womb or during delivery).
Sex: just lots of guesses!
Maternity clothes: some of both. I really need to get maternity bottoms soon though!
Sleep: pretty good, my allergies have really been bothering me at night [sore throat & coughing]
Best moment(s) of the week: hitting the 1/2 way mark! :)
Movement: anxiously waiting, due to the position of my placenta the doctor said it could take a little longer
Food cravings/aversions: chocolate
Morning sickness: gone
Symptoms: nothing baby related, just allergies & coughing
Belly button in or out: in
What I miss: being able to take cough medicine!
What I'm looking forward to: working on the nursery
