20 week Baby Update

Hey there!!

Last Tuesday Dennis and I went to the doctor again to check on little one's anatomy to be sure that everything looked good. He looks wonderful! The only concern they had was with his kidneys. They were a little dilated and did not appear to be passing all of his  urine through like it should be. The doctor said that it is very common in little boys and usually corrects itself within the womb. They will do another ultrasound in 7 weeks to see if the problem has corrected itself.

As for him, he is weighing in at one pound. He is 7 inches long (crown to rump). He is sporting some white hair (since hair has no pigment at this stage in the pregnancy) He also has eyelashes, eyebrows, and can detect bright light through his fused eyelids.

He is moving, but it took me a long time to figure out what it was. I usually feel him in the evening. In fact, sitting at this computer I am feeling little twitches. Very neat, and cool.

I am feeling good. I have a pretty good amount of heartburn. I have gained 6 pounds total. (which I am grateful for!) Blood pressure looks awesome, too. I am feeling very grateful for a healthy pregnancy.

Thanks for checking in on Baby!!!

So glad to see that he is growing beautifully and you are feeling good. Heartburn/indegestion is getting the best of me too. Can't wait to meet baby ____. Since you wont reveal his sweet name! Jk! :)
