20 Weeks- Halfway there!

Today is the halfway mark of my pregnancy. In another 20 weeks (give or take) we should should be holding our little bundle of joy! We can't wait!

This week Little One now weighs about 10 1/2 ounces and measures about 10 inches from head to heel, or about the size of a banana. up until now LO's measurements have been based on length head to bottom. At the 20 week point they now measure head to heel. This is a critical period for LO's sensory development. At this point, LO is able to stretch out his or her limbs. That is explains why I now feel the baby on both sides of my belly at once. Here Clint was thinking there were two in there!

We've had our own little pregnancy milestones to celebrate this week. We were able to hear the heartbeat at home through a stethoscope. We were especially excited that Clint got to feel his first kicks this week!
