Week 20: Halfway there!

Ooohhh we’re halfway thereee! OOOHHH 20 weeks is hereeee!

Okay, I promise that’s it for the Bon Jovi portion of this post.

But yes, the bump and I have reached the 20 week mark. Meaning we are more or less halfway to doing our first high five with each other (I don’t know why, but whenever I picture the birthing process I always see myself high fiving the baby in a “we did it” gesture. Yes, I’m aware this is weird. No, I haven’t shared this image with my boyfriend yet haha).

According to my What to Expect App, my little chicken noodle is actually around the size of a sweet potato or banana, at 6.5 inches. And they weigh about 10 oz at this point.

One of the exciting aspects of being this far along is finally being able to find out the gender of our baby! We go for the anatomy scan next week, on Valentine’s Day. To be honest, finding out if we’re having a boy or a girl on one of my favorite holidays makes it worth having had to wait what felt like an eternity.

We’ll be having a small gender reveal with our close family that Sunday over brunch. I promise to share some pictures and the gender of our little one some time after that!
