20 Week Preggie Update

Whoo hoo!! 20 weeks down! Half way done!! I can't believe it! Time is definitely moving fast!

This week was a great one because we had our 20 week anatomy scan.  This one was a little bit more involved and took a little bit longer than the first trimester ultrasound.  We got to see our little nugget in all his or her glory, haha.  Baby B looked very well.  The brain, heart, and measurements were taken of the head and all the limbs.   Our little baby just wouldn't cooperate enough to get good pictures of the face, even though AJ said that Baby B has my nose.  He/She was moving around so much!  The ultrasound tech got the ones that she needed though.   It's amazing what can be seen and the difference since 13 weeks.  I was just happy that the baby was actually moving.  Now I can finally confirm that the rolls and thumps that I feel are Baby B and not gas, yay!  We were also able to get a gender picture as a keepsake. For now, it's in a sealed envelope because as you know, we aren't finding out the sex until birth.  I have noticed looking at a comparison picture since week 18, I've gotten bigger! Whoa!

One con that I have to say for this u/s was boy, was I uncomfortable.  I had the same tech as my u/s at 13 weeks but she pressed really hard this time.  When I came home, I had to lie down because my stomach was achy and it was a little red.  I had to then go to my brother in law's high school graduation.  I was in a little pain still, but I sucked it up and took one for the team!! :)  

Not really sure if I'm any bigger from 18 weeks!  I look terrible by the way....

 

Was brave enough to show my stomach.
