Look at the freaky eyeball staring at us!!
This was an exciting day. We learned that our baby is completely healthy. That is such a relief to hear. I suppose things could still change later on in the pregnancy; but all of the major issues just got ruled out. No heart or brain defects, no congenital diseases, no downs syndrome and no missing body parts! As far as the baby's size goes, we are in good shape there too. At Finn's 20 week ultrasound, he was measuring in the 94th percentile. This one is measuring in the 44th percentile. I am hoping this one is normal sized at birth. That really is the only thing I am apprehensive about. I don't think I could handle delivering 12 pounds of baby again! My doctor thinks this one could be normal sized. But we will just have to see. So far, so good.
We didn't find out what we are having. I'll admit, it was hard not to just say "Tell me!". The ultrasound tech got to find out, but Jason and I closed our eyes when they scanned the baby's nether regions.
The baby was so squirrely in there! He/She was moving around like crazy! I loved watching him/her stretch out and punch and kick. I felt a real connection with the baby. Now I am starting to feel actual little jabs from punching and kicking. Before, it felt like a fish was swimming around in there. Now, the movements are more obvious. I can't wait to meet my little stinker! I am a lot more anxious to meet him/her now that I have seen an eyeball.
