MY STATS @ 20 WEEKS:
Weight Gain = 7 pounds
Belly Button = getting shallower, but still an “innie”
Rings = same as always, no swelling noticed (yet?)
Fun = feeling and seeing the baby moving; Ryoji kissing and talking to my belly and trying to hear the baby’s heartbeat
Not so Fun = random heart palpitations; waking up at least 5 times a night either to pee or because my arms or legs have gone all tingly (because I’m lying on my back and compressing arteries under my uterus?); stressing about eating right but really just wanting to eat junk food – haha – that’s no difference than pre-pregnancy though is it?; still not popped enough to be obviously pregnant (not in American standard body sizes anyway) – i.e. still not getting any benefits as far as subway seats are concerned

Congratulations! You've hit the halfway mark in your pregnancy. The top of your uterus is about level with your belly button, and you've likely gained around 10 pounds. Expect to gain another pound or so each week from now on.
Your baby weighs about 10 1/2 ounces now. He's also around 6 1/2 inches long from head to bottom and about 10 inches from head to heel — the length of a banana. (For the first 20 weeks, when a baby's legs are curled up against his torso and hard to measure, measurements are taken from the top of his head to his bottom — the "crown to rump" measurement. After 20 weeks, he's measured from head to toe.)
He's swallowing more these days, which is good practice for his digestive system. He's also producing meconium, a black, sticky by-product of digestion. This gooey substance will accumulate in his bowels, and you'll see it in his first soiled diaper (some babies pass meconium in the womb or during delivery).
