Your Baby's Development This Week (22)
Age of Fetus—20 weeks
Your baby is able to pick up and react to more stimuli. (Poking is good.) For example, music, sudden loud noises, or vibrations from a bus ride (Speedy likes going over bumps & driving really fast in the car.) can stir your baby into activity. If your baby is a boy the testes will have started to drop. (Not even going there!)
Other changes that are happening:
Your baby's brain is growing rapidly and will continue to grow for the next five years. (Just not so much that I can't squeeze out your enormous genious melon. OK baby?!)
Though your baby is gaining important amounts of fat, he or she is still very lean at 1% body fat. (mmm baby fat... wonder if it tastes like bacon? ..... mmmmmm bacon.)
The baby's eyelids are making blinking movements though they are still fused shut. (Freak!)
Baby's Size (head to rump) and Weight this week:
Size: About 7.6 inches
Weight: Approximately 12.5 ounces (The ultrasound tech said it was about 12 oz. but then said we were a week behind. So do we have a small but fat alien or is something else going on here?)
Right now your baby is about the size of a child's mini Nerf football. (Ya whatever you say Babyfit!)

I can't believe you're already calling your kid a Freak.
Brynn was a little gymnast in my belly as well. The ultrasound lady said she had never seen such an active baby. I guess it's better than being a sloth.
I feel like a milkshake now.:)
C'mon... look at us. A child of freaks will ergo be a freak. There is no hope.....
