Halfway there

Last Thursday marked the halfway point- 20 weeks. It's gone by a lot faster than I expected it would and I have a feeling the second half will go by even faster. I go to the doctor for a regular check-up tomorrow. The next big appoitment will be at 28 weeks. I'm curious to see how much weight I'm gaining though (don't want to gain too much) and I'll find out tomorrow. I am getting winded more easily as I get further along. I have to take frequent breaks and remind myself to drink water. Right now I'm basically just listening to what my body is telling me and trying not to overdo it.

I figured it'd be fun to give some facts on how the baby is progressing. Courtesy of babycenter.com, here is how the baby is doing at 20 weeks:
"Your baby weighs about 10 1/2 ounces now. He'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. (For the first 20 weeks, when a baby's legs are curled up against his torso and hard to measure, measurements are taken from the top of his head to his bottom — the "crown to rump" measurement. After 20 weeks, he's measured from head to toe.)"

I'll try to update at least bi-weekly from now until the end. I also took a 20-week picture wearing the same shirt that I wore in a picture taken around 8 weeks. Quite a difference!
