The Half Way Mark (Week 20)

A little bit of fun information on baby's development. I'm somewhat afraid of what's to come, something about the baby being the size of a watermelon in week 37 - what?! Those are big! But I can handle this week - baby is about the size of a cantaloupe.

Week 20: 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.

Two more sleeps until the ultrasound. Can't wait to see baby!!!
