We are half way there!!!

I'm now 20 weeks so we are half way through! WAHOO!! It seems like it's been a long time, but went by quickly at the same time. I've also been feeling her move around. I think I have been feeling her for a few weeks, but wasn't sure it was her. Sometimes it feels like a flutter and sometimes she taps me.

At 20 weeks, The fetus measures about 5.6 to 6.4 inches from crown to rump and weighs about 9 ounces. Baby can hear sounds by now. It will cover its ears with its hands if a loud sound is made near you, and it may even become startled and "jump." The baby is moving often, too -- twisting, turning, wiggling, punching and kicking. Her organs are getting into their proper places. Her kidneys are now in position with their familiar bean shape. Her ovaries have reached their position. Her brain continues to form and grow. Her teeth are beginning to appear, and she can swallow.
