20 weeks - we've made it halfway!!

"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!"

Good news, since our big ultrasound is on Thursday this week!! We will finally get to find out what we're having. As for the diapers mentioned above, I was told that newborns can go through between 9 and 12 diapers a day. Say you average 10 a day in the first month...that's 300 diapers! HOLY COW! Fun, fun! :)

Baby is now the size of...
a cantaloupe! WOW!
