Ok! I've come back to add text to this beautiful picture post! Our 20 week appointment went FANTASTICALLY on Thursday. It's hard to explain how much fun it was to watch our Baby moving around and looking so much like, well, a Baby! Turns out I will be unable to format the DVD into an emailable or postable format, so I will get to office depot this week to get some blanks, burn, and send. I watch the DVD everyday at least once! I do wish we could have captured Jack's look of surprise when the tech paused the movement to highlight and tell us "It's a boy!" He looked shocked, and said "Seriously?" So she said "Yep, seriously!" As she typed the words onto the screen next to the proof! It was funny! He really thought he knew it was a girl.
As far as the rest of what they look at, everything does appear to be present and where it should be. We had a lot of fun with the tech, and then saw Dr. D after for just the run down that all is well. I have only gained 5-7 pounds so far, which is great since I am already at the heavy end for my height to begin with. The time with the doc was pretty rushed as usual. She is very nice, but, I am looking forward to checking some other options this month and next to find a better fit for my personality.
So now that we know, I have packed the girl clothes I had accumulated into a storage bag for later. I would like to wash his clothes and put them in his drawers, but will wait for the new washer so nothing gets ripped. We are going to keep his room the slate blue that it is, and keep the safari bedding, as it all goes great for a boy!
I can't believe we are over halfway through the pregnancy. I know everyone says "oh, the last couple months is terrible, you just want the baby OUT!" but I am really trying to focus on enjoying each week, because I know it will be over in a blink, and he will be here! The first trimester was rough, but overall I really enjoy being pregnant, and I think it agrees with me.
Hope we can do it again in the future!
Thanks, God! You are so cool. :)
