Pregnancy - Day 140

Well I'm half-way there!!!
Today I'm 20 weeks pregnant!

Since getting sick this week, I've lost another 2 lbs again.

So I'm -2lbs from the start. My doc doesn't seem too

worried and hasn't said anything...so I'm not too worried

either. I really didn't need to gain much this pregnancy

so I think I'm doing good thus far!

Sleeping is something I'm not used to these days,

I've always said it's God's way of preparing us mommas

for the sleep-less nights ahead :)

I did stay home from work yesterday and actually slept til noon!

I don't think I've done that since I've been in college! ha

I think I really just needed a day to rest and not do anything!

Mom watched Alli Jo for me, and Hunter was at school.....so

I really didnt' have to worry about anything!

Despite not gaining any weight...I know that my belly is

growing and growing b/c my shirts are getting shorter LOL!

I'm going to have to do some more fall/winter shopping and

maybe that will be my last time to shop!

Here are some fun facts about baby this week:

Your baby weighs about 10 1/2 ounces now.

Baby'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.

He or she's swallowing more these days,

which is good practice for his digestive system.

She's also producing meconium, a black, sticky

by-product of digestion. This gooey substance will accumulate

in her bowels, and you'll see it in his first soiled diaper

(some babies pass meconium in the womb or during delivery).

Oh and last but NOT least...

Today is Joe's 28th B-day and our

4 year Wedding Anniversary!

It's hard to believe we met when he was 22 and I was 21 :)
