Halfway There!

Week 20: Baby's digestive system is busy creating meconium (a tarry black substance made of swallowed amniotic fluid, digestive secretion and dead cells), which will fill the first diaper after birth. And, speaking of the diaper situation... baby's genitals are now fully formed! Average size: 6.5 in, 10.6 oz

The doctor's appointment went smoothly this week. I had a morning appointment but had to come back later that afternoon since the doctor was running back to the hospital to deliver a baby. I've only gained 2 pounds and the doctor said that's fine and some women just don't gain weight the first couple of months. I'm supposed to gain 3-4 this month. We reviewed the sonogram information - nothing really new there.

House wise Ryan finished the laundry room - drop ceiling is installed and two cabinents are hung above the washer and dryer. I now even have a rod to hang up clothes right out of the dryer. The office is painted and we have a beautiful ceiling installed.

Ryan's gone this weekend for his last weekend drill. He'll have a 2 week trip in June that he'll have to do and then he'll be done with his one year contract in the Army National Guard.
