Week 20!!!

We are halfway there! And the weekly countdown number is now in the teens! If the last half of the pregnancy goes as fast as the first half then baby boy will be here before we know it! Sometimes it still seems so surreal to me!

So this last week was pretty fun! Wednesday came and we got to find out what gender our sweet little baby is! When we first started the ultrasound he was laying on his belly so there was no sign of "that", so the tech did everything else. She looked at the brain, the heart, the kidneys, all those exciting things. It actually was pretty cool because we could totally tell what the brain and heart were! Of course the heart was beating so that was hard to miss, but we were able to see all 4 chambers, which we thought was cool! And then when she was showing us the brain, it totally looked like a little person brain, so awesome! The kidneys and other things looked like blobs, but the tech said everything looked great, so that is perfect! We obviously were able to tell what the nose, mouth, hands, and feet were too! And it was fun to see him moving around!

When it came time to do the gender part the tech asked us if we wanted to know, of course we said yes, and she said "I was hoping you wouldn't say that" because he was being so difficult. But after poking at him for a few minutes he FINALLY rolled over and revealed his man parts ;) It seems we have a thumb sucker on our hands already. I don't think that hand left his mouth once the whole time, except for when he was getting annoyed with us and it looked like he was trying to wave us away ;) He also sat on his foot the whole time so we were only able to see one foot, but the one foot we did say looked exactly like it should. The 3D pictures were pretty cool, and I loved seeing the little baby face! It's crazy that such a little miracle is happening here! :)

So let's talk more about baby boy :)

*He is the size of a banana!

How far along? 20 weeks! 
Total weight gain/loss: About 10 pounds.
Sleep: Same same.
Best moment this week: Duh, finding out we're going to be having a little boy! :) 
Miss anything? Normal hormones.
Movement: I finally have felt some karate chops to the belly! I've noticed he's especially active during nap time at work, maybe he likes the nap music, or maybe it's because I'm finally not going, going, going, and I just get to sit there and read a book and relax. 
Food cravings: I am really liking Marshmallow Matey's. 
Have you started to show yet? I was called "tubby" today by my brother-in-law, what do you think? ;)
Gender? BOY!!!!! 
Labor signs? Nope.
Belly button in or out? In.
Wedding rings on or off? On. But the dang heat is making me swell. So who knows how long they'll stay on. 
Happy or moody most of the time? Emotional.
Looking forward to: Picking colors and theme for the nursery!
