Someone's tap dancing in my uterus

If this baby is a girl then we are definitely putting her in dance! This morning as I was laying on the couch watching the school closings add up I even felt the baby kick from the outside! He kicked me hard about three times so I ran into the bedroom and woke Scott up. Do you think the baby moved at all after that so his daddy could feel it? Noooo...not this child...he doesn't know how to cooperate! We are going to have our hands full...lol!

I'm 20 weeks now...Wooo!! Halfway there! All I can think is that this first 20 weeks went so fast. Before we know it our precious baby will be here! (Kinda scares me a little!)
From babycenter.com this week:
Your baby weighs about 10 1/2 ounces now. He's also around 6 1/2 inches long from head to bottom and about 10 inches from head to heel — the length of a banana. (The way your baby is measured changes now.) He's swallowing more these days, which is good practice for his digestive system. He's also producing meconium, a black, sticky by-product of digestion. This gooey substance will accumulate in his bowels, and you'll see it in his first soiled diaper (although some babies pass meconium in the womb or during delivery).
