WEEK 20 | PRINCESS IS THE SIZE OF A BANANA | 6.5 INCHES | 10.2 OZ
 |
| Look at that PERFECT profile. She got so big! |
So Monday, January 14th, we had our 20 week complete anatomy scan, similar to the one we had at 16 weeks. She's still a she...we saw her little hamburger. Heehee! She seemed to be pretty calm that morning didn't really move around much during the sonogram, good for the tech but I was hoping to see her move. So around now she should be around 10 or 11 oz.....well this little nugget is approximately 14 oz at 20 weeks. Happy to hear she is growing and that explains why my belly is so big. She also packs quite a punch for something so small.
We finally got 3D pics of our little baby girl :) They may seem scary to other people and you may think she looks like an alien but to me she is so beautiful and perfect. I can't believe how much I can possibly love this little person and I haven't even met her yet.
(She looks all lumpy and bumpy and like she has a mohawk in a couple pics but it's just all the "stuff" in the pic.)

| Deep in thought...I think her eyes are open. |
 |
| Is she sad? Annoyed? Or laughing? |
So now that we are 20 weeks apparently the measurements at the doctors will go from head to butt (aka CRL = crown to rump length) to head to toe. Princess should be around 10 inches long now. No wonder I am starting to feel thumping going on in my belly. Amazing something so itty bitty can be so strong at the same time!
THIS WEEK..... our little angel's taste buds are working, she's drinking lots of the amniotic fluid, several ounces a day. This will help her digestive track get ready. She's also creating meconium, her first poop. :)
