20 weeks and 3 days

Since we have a bunch of out of town family members who won't see me pregnant, here is a current photo. Please, snicker quietly.

Baby Benzin baby weighs about 10 1/2 ounces now. He or she is also around 6 1/2 inches long from head to bum bum and about 10 inches from head to heel - about the length of a banana. He or she is swallowing more these days, which is good practice for the digestive system. Baby Benzin is also producing meconium, a black, sticky by-product of digestion. This gooey substance will accumulate in the bowels, and you'll see it in the first soiled diaper.

Joy of joys. Sticky, gooey poop.
