And the baby is now the size of a sweet potato. Isn't that sweet?!
Between 16 weeks and 20 weeks the baby doubles in size. Right now we are in the midst of all that growing and I am starting to feel it, that is for sure! Those pesky ligament pains are coming on strong... sometimes as painful as contractions. Which I wasn't expecting! So, it gave me a little scare at first, but I called and talked with my nurse and she assured me that it is normal and that the pain is more in subsequent pregnancies than in the first. I went in to get my flu shot just yesterday and had the nurse check the baby's heartbeat just to put my mind at ease, and everything sounds good in there :) So, baby and I are doing well and looking forward to Matt getting home from his work trip to Texas!! Then we travel to MN for Thanksgiving and when we get back we have our 20 week ultrasound where we will find out if we are expecting little Kahlan Grace(pr. Kay-lynn) or little Carter David!!!!! I'm SUPER excited!!!!!!!!!!!!
