It's official! We are half way through the pregnancy... 20 weeks! We had our 20 week appointment Wednesday, and everything went very well. The doctor did an ultrasound and was able to see the baby's spine, bladder, stomach, head, arms, and legs! He counted out fingers for us, and the baby even gave the "thumbs up"! He thought they all looked great, and would like to do another ultrasound next month to follow up. You see, the baby had the wiggles and he wasn't getting the clearest picture - so he will check some other organs and what not next time when the baby will be a bit bigger.
We got to hear the heartbeat again, which was coming in at a fast 150-152 beat per minute! Now, some of you that know the myths may make something of this, but let's not forget when MM's mom was pregnant, they were told her heartbeat sounded like a boy! Clearly, they were mistaken. Like Wes says, boy or girl it's a future "Hall of Famer"!
It was neat that while listeneing to the heartbeat, you could occasionally hear a loud "bang" over the speaker. They told us that was the baby kicking! Must have been all those sweet-tarts I ate before hand (thanks for the tip Sara!).
So, now we go about our business until March 7th when we go back to the doc.
