Banana Baby

We're 20 weeks along now - halfway through the pregnancy. About 20 more weeks till our baby girl is here! I can feel her moving around every day now. Jeremy hasn't been able to feel the movement with his hand on my belly yet, but I bet he will be able to before too long. She's getting pretty big now - BabyCenter says she's about the length of a banana!

I've been feeling pretty normal lately. Sometimes I forget for a moment that I'm pregnant, until I feel her move or my back and hip start aching as a reminder. Or, of course, until I look down and see my round belly :-). I noticed last night that my belly button is starting to change already and is looking a little bit stretched!

From BabyCenter:

How your baby's growing:
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.)

It is soooooo cool when you start seeing your tummy move. I would let my class at school feel the baby. It will be easy to see and feel. This is too cool!
