Week 20: Halfway There!

Today we had our big ultrasound!

The baby is doing great. Everything looks very healthy. He/she is in the 47th percentile for weight, coming in at approximately 12 ounces.

During the ultrasound the baby kicked up a storm as if it was running a marathon in place. Kevin appropriately called the baby The Little Runner. I can only imagine what it will feel like when I start feeling the kicks. Yikes!

As witnessed on the ultrasound, the baby is moving quite a lot. I can feel it moving several times a day especially in the evening hours. It's truly a wonderful, albeit weird, sensation.

We may end up going back for a second ultrasound since the technician wasn't able to get a good view of the heart.

We'll go back to the doctor this Thursday for a regular visit and see if Momma's gained any weight yet.

20 more weeks to go!

Wow, are all blogs this entertaining? I just sat here and cracked up. Looks like early voting overwhelmingly indicates a boy. Boy or girl, a very lucky baby to have you two as the parents.
