I had a doctor's appointment and ultrasound this past week. Everything looks good! Here's a picture of baby's profile and abdomen. His/her chin is down on the chest and the feet were all squished up there too, though they don't show in this picture. I'll add some other details below the picture.
Friday, the 7th, marked 20 weeks of pregnancy. I'm feeling pretty good, though worn out from some of the busier days we've had lately. I think that's more December related than anything though! I have gained 6 pounds, which still puts me 5 pound below my pre-pregnancy weight. That's pretty good I thought! I certainly had a little extra to lose, so nothing to worry about. Baby's measurements put him or her at 20 weeks 2 days, which was 4 days ahead of gestational age. Each measurement was about 60%, and all was proportionate. No really long legs or big head just yet! Baby weighed 0.78 pounds, however many ounces that is - 12ish. At 20 weeks, baby should weigh about 10.5 ounces. I've been thinking a lot about when this baby will be born. Maggie was 8 days late, and then Aaron was 3.5 weeks early. No predictions here. And baby's heartrate was 140, which is right in the middle of what the old wives tales say for boys and girls. Looks like baby will keep us guessing right up until the end. I have no suspicions or mother's intuition this time around, yet. Each day I'm feeling the baby moving more and more, and it shouldn't be too much longer until Tim and the kids can feel it too! Norah's especially looking forward to that.
