This also means we only have 1 more week until we find out if it's a boy or a girl! I CANNOT wait!!
I have been sick over the last few days..(The flu of course!) Woke up Sunday with an incredibly sore throat. Suffered through work but had to call out on Monday...I was scheduled to be off today but may not be able to go in tomorrow either. Working in health care/with the elderly, they don't particularly like you coming in sick to spread your germs! I'm feeling pretty miserable and I think if I hadn't had my flu shot I'd be a million times worse.
Here is the latest development on Baby Gist at 20 weeks old!
Your baby weighs about 10 1/2 ounces now. He's also around 6 1/2 inches long from head to bottom and about 10 inches from head to heel — the length of a banana. (For the first 20 weeks, when a baby's legs are curled up against his torso and hard to measure, measurements are taken from the top of his head to his bottom — the "crown to rump" measurement. After 20 weeks, he's measured from head to toe.)
He's swallowing more these days, which is good practice for his digestive system. He's also producing 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 (some babies pass meconium in the womb or during delivery).
