We're halfway there sweetie pie! 20 more weeks to go and we get to see your cute little face. I've been feeling pretty great as of late. I've already started having some back pain which is sooner that I expected but walking around is still fine which is good since we'll be walking around a lot the next week on vacation. You're moving around a lot, especially in the middle of the night, just like Octavio did when he was in my belly. I can't wait to see you in the ultrasound when we get back to Colorado.

Here's more info about you this week:
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).
