I’m half-baked!

August 7th, 2007 by Nicholas

I am 20 weeks old today and have made it to the half-way point of this marathon. I just went through a growth spurt and weigh about 11 ounces and measure 10 inches from head to heel. The doctors can now measure me from head to heel, rather than crown to rump since I am more stretched out now. My skin is covered in a waxy substance called vernix. I am swallowing more and more now practicing for those late night feedings. I have a sleep-wake pattern now, similar to that of a newborn. And I am very busy these days bouncing around to practice moving my limbs and muscles.

    You are getting so big Nicholas! Pretty soon you will be big enough to give your Mommy and Daddy some really good kicks and punches :)

    Lots of Love,

    Nana and Papa
