Week 21

Dear Sweet Pea,

Today I am 20 weeks along, so that means I'm halfway there! The next 10 weeks will supposedly be a time of major growth for both of us, so I'm anticipating an increased appetite during this time. I can expect to gain half of my total pregnancy weight during these weeks. At this point I've gained about 12 pounds! The top of my uterus is now in line with my belly button, which has made it flat. It will be an outie very soon!

At this point you weigh about 300g and are about 7 inches long from crown to rump (about the size of a small cantaloupe)! You're developing taste buds on your tongue, and your digestive system is developed enough to process water and sugar from the amniotic fluid. Your eyes are still sealed shut, but they should open in a month and a half or so. You still have enough room to move around a lot, and your kicks and punches are getting stronger all the time.

Here's the newest bump photo:
