Remember when I said I wasn't getting any fruit references anymore? Check out my 20 week update from Baby Center.
"By now your baby is about the size of a large sweet potato and you should be feeling her move around. Enjoy it — those rumbles are one of the true joys of pregnancy. She's also giving her new digestive system a little practice by swallowing amniotic fluid. She absorbs nutrients and water from this fluid. The unabsorbed matter continues into her bowel where it concentrates into meconium, the greenish black or light brown substance she'll pass the first few days after she's born."
By the way, those references to "she" are Baby Center's. We still don't know if our little sweet potato is of the girl or boy variety.
