20 week ultrasound!

We had our twenty week ultrasound today. I was so nervous! But it turns out my nerves were for nothing. The baby measured right on target and weighs approximately 13 oz, so nearly a pound! The ultrasound tech checked all the organs and said everything looked good to her. All the pictures will go to a perinatologist my ob contracts with for review. If there is anything they want another picture of we'll get called for another ultrasound. And if for some reason they saw some reason for worry, they would let us know that as well. Otherwise, I guess this is the last time we'll see the baby until she's born. And yes, I said SHE!!! She's a perfect, beautiful little girl!

So, we picked up Adan from daycare today, excited to tell him the news. I told him he was going to have a baby sister, and then I said 'Are you excited to have a baby sister?'. He said 'Yeah! Can I watch a movie?'. Apparently the excitement was short-lived!

Here are the pictures.

First up, here she is sucking her thumb. For those of you who know Adan, you know we already have one thumb sucker in the family! He thought that was pretty cool when I said she was sucking her thumb.



Next, we have a shot of her legs. They sure look long and thin right now. Of course, she has no fat on her yet.



This one is a little hard to make out, but if you look at the bottom left hand side of the shot, you can see a little hand waving at you.



The last one is a look up at the bottom of her feet. Aw, doesn't she have cute feet? They measured 3.7cm - so tiny yet.

How exciting....I am so happy for you guys. Shelby was sucking her thumb in her first ultrasound too, but that is the only time. After she came into the world she was a pacifier baby. Good Luck to you guys!!
