Your 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. (For the first 20 weeks, when a baby's legs are curled up against his torso and hard to measure, measurements are taken from the top of his head to his bottom — the "crown to rump" measurement. After 20 weeks, he's measured from head to toe.) 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.

Cute little baby bump! 20 weeks, wow! Are you finding out the gender or letting it be a surprise again?
I can't believe you're already 20 weeks! You look good!
I go in today for an ultrasound. We will wait on the gender again. It's the best surprise ever!
