20 Weeks

Today is 9/9/09 and I am 20 weeks, halfway through my pregnancy. I can't believe how time has flown by. And I can not wait to meet Baby Wertz. Only a couple more weeks and we will know what we are having. :)
The baby weighs 10 1/2 ounces, 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/her torso and hard to measure, measurements are taken from the top of his/her head to his/her bottom — the "crown to rump" measurement. After 20 weeks, he or she is measured from head to toe.)
He/She is swallowing more these days, which is good practice for his/her digestive system.
As soon as we get the next ultrasound picture I will post it. I'll also post some pictures of our trip to Gatlinburg last weekend.

In honor of Baby Wertz this week, have a banana. :)
