Alistair Charles in 4D

 Snuggled up against my placenta

 Trying to eat his foot. Left arm is crossing over his face.

 Foot is still up, but his mouth is closed

 Hand is covering his face

His arm resting on his knee. The deep thinker.

When we were in Seattle we had a 4D ultrasound done so my parents could see their grandchild for the first time. It was such an incredible experience. He looks so much like Alex! I have lots to blog about, so stay tuned!

20 weeks: The Banana

Alex has felt the baby kicking at this point too. I feel him moving all the time now. He gets excited after I eat and when he hears music. I am now at the halfway point! I can't believe how fast this is going. Halfway through a pregnancy?? The baby is now 6.5 inches long. He is developing a protective coating over the skin, called vernix caseosa. It's greasy and white. He is working on his five senses. Nerve cells for his sense of taste, hearing, sight, and smell are developing in his brain. He has working taste buds and gulps down several ounces of amniotic fluid each day. I will take a picture this week of my growing belly!
