20 weeks

Today Adam and I had our twenty week ultrasound and it was incredible! The baby started moving alot more over the past week so it was really cool to actually see what's going on inside. Baby is in the breech position and loves to use my stomach for a pillow and kicks my bladder with it's feet every few seconds- which may explain my continued nausea and constant urge to go to the bathroom.  It was really active during the ultrasound and susie had a hard time getting it to hold still long enough to show us what was what. We saw it suck it's thumb about four times in the 30 minutes we were in there which was super cute! The picture below shows Baby's head on the left and tummy on the right with an arm and hand reaching towards the mouth- sucking on that thumb. In other images you can see a clear shot of the babies nose and this baby is definitely a Yablonski/Callaway combo with a pointy little schnoz.  Susie said everything looked great, all measurments were in the healthy range and Baby's heartbeat was 144. Life is such an undeserved miracle and this makes us even more excited to meet our little bean! 

You may be wondering if it's a boy or a girl....so are we?!! We decided to wait and let it be a surprise for delivery so Adam can be the first one to announce it.  I kept going back and forth over the last few days on whether I thought I could really wait to find out - but the decision was kind of made for us when the Bean's legs were crossed or it had it's back toward us kicking up a storm. What do you think? BOY OR GIRL? leave a comment and let me know....
