Some of you may have noticed a change in my due date/ticker. I was told my original due date was May 10th, but later when they did the first ultrasound and measured the baby, they changed it to May 13th. So I thought the doctor was going off that date, but come to find out, she was going by the first one. So I'll go with that one too, which makes me 20 weeks today, half way!!!
So this week our baby girl is about 7 inches long and weighs almost 11 ounces, about the size of a large banana! By this week, she's swallowing a lot of amniotic fluid to practice swallowing and digesting. And depending on what I've eaten, it tastes different every day since her taste buds are already very developed. So she'll probably have a taste for peanut butter and potatoes (not together), because that's what I've been eating a lot of lately!
She still has a lot of room to move around, but that won't last too much longer. Until then, I'm enjoying the little flutters and pokes I've been feeling lately (except when she's asleep, which could be as much as 12 to 14 hours a day!).
We'll be traveling to Mississippi this week to spend Christmas with my family. We've already been showered with cute stuff for Sweet Pea and will have to post some pictures when we get back. Until then, hope every has a Merry Christmas!!

I predicted girl - yay me.
Eating lots of potatoes, eh? The gallbladder surgery must have worked. What else can you eat?
