The Grady Family

well, here it is - the big 20 week spot, and i still haven't scanned in the ultrasound pictures, or done anything of the sort. I dont have much of an update, so i'm just going to go with the basic "what the blogs say" for this time period:

20 Weeks
Your baby:
* Is as big as (depending on which measurements from which pregnancy book you use and of course, Your Produce May Vary) a butternut squash, or as long as a banana, or possibly a carrot.
* Will be measured head-to-toe from this point on, instead of the head-to-rump measurements we've used so far.
* Has a heartbeat that can be heard with just a regular old stethoscope now and not just the fancy doppler.
* Is swallowing and practicing other digestive skills, and can now produce meconium, which is essentially prenatal poop that sits in the bowels during pregnancy. (oh goody)
