20 Week Ultrasound

First of all I apologize for the horrible quality of these pictures. We don't have a scanner, so we did our best by taking a digital picture of the picture...totally lame, but better than nothing. :) Anyway, we had our 20 week ultrasound yesterday. It was such a cool experience that definitely made the pregnancy seem more of a reality for both of us.

We are so very thankful to report that at this point we have a perfectly healthy baby! All the organs are there and are functioning properly and are the correct proportions. This kid would not quit moving! I feel it move constantly throughout the day. The ultrasound tech said there is quite a DANCER in there. :) It was so cool to see baby yawn, suck, flip, and kick. The tech said the kidneys are working because the bladder was full as was the stomach. At this point the baby weighs .92 lbs. and it's cheeks are starting to fill out. We were sure to let the tech know we want to keep the sex of the baby a surprise. It's kind of crazy and exciting to think she knows what it is, but we don't.

The first picture is of baby on it's right side looking directly at you. Do you see the eyes, nose, and chin? The big mass to the right of the face is the Buddha belly as the tech kept referring to it (cute).

The second picture is of baby lying on it's back, looking up. The head is on the right. The arm is the big thing sticking up, although Ryan keeps trying to convince me it's something else. Ha!

We are so thankful everything is going really well at this point. We're just over halfway through the pregnancy, but are getting really excited to meet this kid!
