Hello all!! We are in the 20th week!! Half way there!! So amazing:):) the week has been pretty typical! Which is something that I love and hate all the same!! Some days the rhythm helps it move by faster and the day that Thomas is here again couldn't come fast enough!! But other days I feel lazy... like I'm wasting my pregnancy! It's hard to wrap my head around "pregnancy". I always pictured it as a time when Thomas and I would be together! So it's tough to realize that that isn't the case and that I should still do the things I always looked forward to doing during this time!! It is a blessing to have this little child of ours inside of me right now! Sometimes I get really down and I just hug my belly and know that there is a little piece of my amazing husband thriving in me and that makes the loneliness a little less!
The baby loved the chicken pot pie that I had today! I felt him sooo much!! And the kicks really are starting to get so much more obvious!! He was just drumming on this one little spot for like 10 minutes... and that made me smile soo big! I can't wait to see that little foot on the u/s screen!! Only 8 more days until I can officially call this baby a he or start apologizing to my little girl for calling her a he for sooo many months and try to break the habit lol!!!
I guess I'll stop rambling now and do some laundry! Thanks for reading! I hope you have a great night! Enjoy the Fun Facts!
WEEK TWENTY
*You're half way there!
*The rapid growth stage is about over. While things have slowed down, this next stage is vital to survival.
*The baby's heart grows stronger. Find a quiet place, lay flat on your back. Locate your own heartbeat by finding your pulse. Next lay your hand on your belly. You may be able to distinguish the two heartbeats!
*His legs are reaching their relative size. With the increase muscle develop occurring as well, you will start feeling much more than tiny flutter kicks soon!
*Immunities are being transferred from you to your baby now. These immune cells will protect her from viruses you've already had for up to six months after birth!
*The nerve cells for taste, smell, hearing, seeing, and touch are now developing in specialized areas of the brain. Production slows down as existing nerve cells grow larger and make more complex connections.
*Your baby may startle in reaction to loud sounds. Amazingly, she can actually hear noises outside of the womb. Familiar voices, music, and sounds that baby becomes accustomed to during her development stages often are calming after birth.
*If your baby is a girl, her uterus is starting to develop. She has approximately six million eggs in her ovaries. About one million will remain at birth.
*Baby is about 6.46 inches (16.4cm) and weighs around 10.58 ounces (300g
