T-minus 7 hours!

I have only 7 and a half more hours until my ultrasound. Wee!! I never thought this day would come. It has been such a wait and so far this has been the longest day in history. :oP

I'm 20 weeks today which means I've hit the halfway mark, according to Baby Center. I'm so ready to not be preganant anymore and I still have the 3rd trimester woes to go through.

How your baby's growing:

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. (For the first 20 weeks, when a baby's legs are curled up against his torso and hard to measure, measurements are taken from the top of his head to his bottom — the "crown to rump" measurement. After 20 weeks, he's measured from head to toe.)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 (some babies pass meconium in the womb or during delivery).

See what your baby looks like this week. (Or see what fraternal twins look like in the womb this week.)

Note: Every baby develops a little differently — even in the womb. Our information is designed to give you a general idea of your baby's development.

I had a dream Saturday night that I was pregnant with twins but I'm pretty sure I'm not. I mean, they would have noticed that by now, right? Plus twins don't run in either of our families so I know there is only one baby in my tummy.

Mark and I have switched names again. If it's a girl, we're keeping Mia but now Mark likes Christian for a boy instead of Adam. Ho-hum. I don't mind Christian as long as everyone calls him Christian instead of Chris.

I've been feeling better since stopping the Lexapro and I'm not sure if I want to go back on another anti-depressant. It was just too scary this time around. Emotionally I've been better as well but then again I've only worked like one day. :oP

I guess there isn't much more to say right now. I'll update tonight with the news!!

I'm anxiously awaiting the update on boy or girl! My sister is, once again, not finding out what she is having until her new baby is born, but she told me to make a blue and brown afghan regardless. If you're having a girl, it's time to break out the pink yarn! :)
