I get these email updates every Wednesday from BabyCenter.com and we think they're quite informative! And, when they tell us what size fruit or vegetable (or shrimp?!) the baby is comparable to, we end up calling the baby that name for the whole week. This week it's Bananarama!
Hello, jennifer! You're at the halfway mark — congratulations! 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. (The way your baby is measured changes now.) 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 (although some babies pass meconium in the womb or during delivery).
