20 Weeks!

Can you believe we've already made it to the half way point? I certainly cannot...it's going by very quickly (I know I say this in every "baby" post). So, today we got to see our little peanut again and confirm that he is in fact a boy! At 20 weeks most babies weigh about 10 1/2 ounces (ours measured about 1 lb) and are around 6 1/2 inches long from head to bottom and about 10 inches from head to heel — the length of a banana (so I guess he's a banana, not a peanut). I still feel great and I feel very fortunate to have had such an easy pregnancy...some of my dear friends get REALLY sick with theirs so I know I'm lucky! My belly seemed to truly "pop" in recent weeks and it's actually staying the same size on a day to day basis, instead of being big one day and small the next like earlier in the pregnancy. I've definitely felt him move...feels like bubbles popping and I only feel it when I'm very still and concentrate on what's happening. Cameron actually got to feel him last night one time when he gave me a pretty hard kick. I'm hoping to feel him much more in the coming weeks and although I'm not looking forward to being beat up, I do look forward to his kicks getting stronger! And, without further ado...see a pic of baby Dane below along with new belly picture taken today.

It didn't come out as vivid as we hoped:Yes, the hair is darker & shorter:
