Week 20 = Cantaloupe

So as you all know we had our BIG u/s and we have a healthy baby boy! We are thrilled! And I'm so in love!! Here is this weeks update:

Baby's digestive system is busy creating meconium (a tarry black substance made of swallowed amniotic fluid, digestive secretion and dead cells), which will fill the first diaper after birth. And, speaking of the diaper situation... baby's genitals are now fully formed!

We found out at my u/s that my placenta sits anteriorly and which may cause me not to feel as many kicks but Baby T is kicking away and this week I'm finally feeling him throughout the day. He seems to wake up right after lunch and around 7 or 8ish at night. Its such a great feeling to know that he is alive in there. :-)
