Twenty weeks down, twenty(ish) more weeks to go! It's nice that this pregnancy has been going by relatively quickly...with much thanks to Logan, I'm sure!
Today was my twenty week check-up. My doctor spent something like two or three minutes {felt like an eternity!} listening to the heartbeat, and reported that I've got a very happy, very active little man on board!
I also asked her what my weight gain has been so far. According to their scales, I've gained about four pounds since week eight. That was certainly great news to hear! I weigh myself at home once every few days, and if I calculate my weight gain considering both the lowest and highest weight I've tracked since conception, I'm looking at closer to seven or eight pounds. I tend to vary a few pounds from week to week when I'm not pregnant, so I'll cut myself a little slack and just stick with the number on their charts. :) Overall, I'm aiming for 25 to 30 pounds gained this pregnancy; I think I gained somewhere between 32-35 last time around.
ANYway. I think we've made some serious progress on the name front, and I'm sure I'll be spilling that soon {or more specifically, once I can think of a really creative way to share!}.
Here's the photo from this week {Please excuse the grainy quality; we had some exposure issues with the first couple shots—this among them—but it ended up being the one I liked best!}:
And here are some growth updates this week {from TheBump.com}:
Baby's digestive system is busy creating meconium (a tarry black substance made of swallowed amniotic fluid, digestive secretion and dead cells), which will fill the first diaper after birth. And, speaking of the diaper situation... baby's genitals are now fully formed!
