20 weeks!

We are now officially halfway to seeing our little baby boy!

Here's what's going on with him now at 20 weeks:
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. 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 (Yum!)--that can be AJ's 1st diaper!!

Here's a pic of me at 19ks and 3 days....slowly getting that baby bump! Feels like it gets bigger every day though!

Last Saturday AJ and I made our way up to the Edinburgh outlet malls where I was able to expand my maternity wardroe....btw, those belly pillows they have in the dressing rooms to show what you may expect to look like in 3 months are great---boy did that catch AJ off guard!
After we finished shopping there we made our way to Bloomington---it was so good to be back there!! We walked around campus for awhile and got our little guy a head start on his future favorite big ten school:

So cute!!

Then we met up for dinner at Scotty's with our good friends Jake and Kelley, who are anxiously awaiting the arrival of their baby girl soon...don't worry the marriage has already been arranged between Baby W and Baby Voelkel :)

On Sunday I felt the baby have the hiccups for the first time...amazing!!! He's moving so much more now and I absolutely love feeling him in there. We are now trying to make plans for the nursery and decide on how we want to decorate it....so much to do.....only 20 more weeks to go!!!
