Week 20 - Half way there

Half way!  These past few months have gone by fast!  I know June will be here before we know it.

This weekend we changed the carpet in the living room for hardwoods, more baby-spills resistant :)  It was a one day job because we got a lot of help from Enrique, Felecia, and Jeremy.  Here is a picture of the finished product.  We are so happy with them!

I think I may have felt the baby the other day, it was a very slight but distinctive nudge... but from now on I can start expecting more movement :)

This week the baby is getting used to all his body parts.  The baby weights about half a pound now and is around 6 inches long.  The baby's skin is developing further under the vernix.  The baby is also swallowing more and practicing with the digestive system.  The baby's teeth are developing layers of dentin and enamel and the baby is also beginning to produce its own insulin.

Mom is feeling ok, though I've had a few nose bleeds.  These are normal, as I'm producing a whole lot more blood and the nasal tissues are thin and may not resist the blood overflow.

Two more weeks and we'll have the next ultrasound and we will know if we are having Sofia or John.  We'll keep you posted.

We are thinking about removing our carpet also. Could you send Enrique, Felecia, and Jeremy over to help too? :)
