We've hit our 20 week mark! I'm still feeling great and the only real change I've noticed is that I do get tired easier than I used to and my feet start to ache if I stand too long, but I know that this is only the beginning of when the babies really start to add on the weight. Over the last week I've had some pain in my lower back and quite a bit in my hips due to the extra weight on my belly. I've tried some different yoga poses and finally after some stretching and a warm bath in Epsom Salt, the aching faded a bit. I think I'm going to need to really stay on top of the stretching this next half of pregnancy. Thankfully I've got a pregnancy yoga video and an exercise ball in my cubicle at work!
Cravings?: None
What's Happening in My Body?: The babies are swallowing more which is good practice for their digestive systems. They are producing meconium (a black sticky by-product of digestion). This will accumulate in their bowls and we'll see it in their first soiled diaper (honey- you are up for the first diaper change!! haha).
Our Babies Are Each the Size of: A banana- 10.5 ounces each and 6.5 inches long from head to bottom/ 10 inches long from head to heel.
