Half Way There!

Over the last four weeks, your baby has grown an incredible amount, and has just about quadrupled his weight. He's big enough that you should be feeling "fluttering" or "quickening" quite regularly now. In fact, from his movements you may be able to tell if your baby is awake or asleep. Your baby is anywhere from 15 - 18 cm or 6.5 inches long and weighs 285-300 grams or 10-11 ounces.
Your baby has started to practice breathing motions, even though his lungs are not yet mature enough to breathe enough air to allow him to survive outside your body. Lanugos (the fine hair) covers your baby's whole body, and hair on the scalp is beginning to grow. Your baby's ears are fully functional now and he enjoys the sound of uterine noise. All the organs and structures of your baby are formed and your baby is now entering a period of simple growth. And you may be getting ready to be a grandma already: If your baby is a girl, her uterus is beginning to develop!

So today officially marks 20 weeks…
Now what…
Well today we have an Ultra Sound, to confirm the fetal age, and if Jr cooperates we will find out if it is Junior or June. I know… I know.. a lot of you have said to us, why would you want to find out what it is, well I felt like most of you at first, until the old lady took me shopping and said… go find something that is Uni-sex. Well guess what… there is no such thing anymore. Even white jumpers or sleepers have little blue bunnies or pink duckies…
So… we are going to find out… that is of course.. if it cooperates.

More good news… I got my dog back yesterday.. I'm soo happy.

Thought for the day!!

I'm gonna be somebody’s dad… that’s fuck UP!
