Half way there!

Well…we're half way home now! That baby is half-baked. 20 weeks in out of 40. It's crazy to think in just 20 weeks, I'll be wearing a clothes pin on my nose, changing a diaper…probably still gagging the whole time. I must admit, even picking up Rocky's tootsie-roll poop almost makes me hurl. I'm in trouble.

Ally is doing incredibly well (knock on whatever ya got) and isn't really showing like some do at 20 weeks. Check this gal out at just 18 weeks... compared to the picture we took of Ally this morning.

Where the heck is the 'big' bump? She's obviously a little bigger than normal, but "where's the beef?"

The books say that our little one is about the size of a cantaloupe this week. The baby is about 6.5 inches long from head to bottom and weighs in at a hefty 10 1/2 ounces. Baby C is practicing breathing and swallowing on a regular basis. The baby is continuing to grow and fill out, with the head becoming slightly more proportional to the rest of the body.

And for those of you who know my Sis out in St. Louis (Jen), she and her husband Andy just welcomed their daughter, Brooke Nicole to the world Tuesday night. Congrats to the happy family!! Here's a picture of Mom and Baby Brooke...hopefully she won't mind us sharing!
