20 Weeks Today!!

Half way there! Wahoo!!! Hard to believe we are half way there already. Like I posted earlier this week, sometimes I feel like time is flying by and other times it really feels like it is going slow. In reality I know December will be here before I know it!

Baby gulps down several ounces of amniotic fluid every day, both for nutrition and to practice swallowing and digesting. And, these days, those taste buds actually work! Studies show that after birth, babies respond best to tastes they've already had via amniotic fluid. Meaning, think about what you'd like your future child to eat as you prepare your own lunch.
