20 weeks... WHAT???

Tomorrow I am 20 weeks... is that even possible that I am already at the halfway mark? I am already halfway to the point where I will have the baby... or probably more than halfway if baby comes early! I find out what baby K is THIS WEEK!!! We also have our gender party next weekend! I'm really excited. DH and I went and started registering for stuff over the weekend too. We registered at Target & Babies R Us! We still have to put all the gender specific stuff on there once we know what baby K is! We are soo excited. Here is the newest email I have on baby K's progress:

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.)

He's swallowing more these days, which is good practice for his digestive system. He's also producing meconium, a black, sticky by-product of digestion. This gooey substance will accumulate in his bowels, and you'll see it in his first soiled diaper (some babies pass meconium in the womb or during delivery).
