20 Week Ultrasound

Oh my. We have been counting down the days until our 20 week ultrasound. Mark missed our last one and it was one of the biggest events in the venture so far. We could hardly wait until the date to come and could hardly sleep the night before. It was like Christmas Eve. We both woke up early, got dressed and ready...then had time to kill.

Excited parents!

 This was us just sitting and waiting. We finally decided the best way to kill time was to put stuff on our Amazon wish list just in case the growing little being was still the same sex she said it was at 14 weeks. I also ate some oatmeal and drank this here coke in hopes to get the little kicker moving around on the screen for daddy. Giedo, our dog in the background, is already not sure what to think of not being an only child anymore.

Coke to get the baby kickin'!

 After waiting so long for this day we got so wrapped up in choosing things for the nursery we were almost late for our appointment! We got there and it was the first time we didn't even have to wait. We got called by the lady, a different lady this time, and she invited us into the same softly lit, comfortable room perfect for baby's first (or second) viewing. She asked if we wanted to know what it was and we said yes. We explained that the lady told me last time what she thought but we were skeptical. She smiled and continued her job, putting on the blue goo, turning on the screen and then up popped our baby on the TV.  She looked at the screen and said "OH YEAH, it's definitely a boy"!

Oh happy joy! Not only because he already had about 15 outfits, a pair of shoes, a blanket, and a whole nursery basically picked out but also because Mark and I had both already built ourselves up for a boy since I was told that at 14 weeks. We both hoped for a boy from the start and I just couldn't believe that we were actually going to have a baby boy. A son.

The 20 week ultrasound was amazing but it was much harder to see things this time. Perhaps because he was getting bigger but we got to see no flips, kicks, or anything like that. For the most part I couldn't tell what I was looking at except when she put it in 3D which at 20 weeks is just a little on the scary side. She said he was very healthy and everything was as it should be. She did say he had the largest fingers and toes of any baby she had seen, which in one 3D photo was quite evident.

So here it is...proof of our baby BOY:
