We’re slipping into week 21, as Baby Schepis gets as long as a large banana! At about 11 ounces and 7 inches, the baby is kicking up a storm (you can actually see this from the outside!) as the neurons are better connecting the brain and muscles, and cartilage hardens into bone. The baby can also now taste the food better as it swallows amniotic fluid. I hope it likes peanut butter and jelly!
Eric and I had our 20-week sonogram today and everything checked out as we hoped. We could count the toes and fingers, see the chambers of the heart, and watch as the baby jumped around! We decided against finding out whether the baby is male or female, which means we have to wait another quick 20 weeks to find out.
I'm still feeling good. Of course, a visit from my old friend Laura has kept me smiling for days now! She came this weekend for a belated birthday trip (Happy 29th Laura!), a little bike riding, and some plain old girl talk.
I hope all is well with everyone! We’ll talk to you soon!
