20 week Ultrasound




We had our 20 week ultrasound this morning and have our first pictures of the baby! There were 10 fingers and 10 toes so everything was looking good. In the picture on the top you can see a good profile of the baby's face. The left arm is up above the baby's head and they are sort of laying on the right arm. We spent all day yesterday watching a golf tournament so I told Shelly the baby is doing it's best Tiger Woods fist pump impression. The picture on the bottom is one of the tiny little feet! Right now the baby is breeched so it's feet are pointing down. The doctor said it wasn't a big deal because there is plenty of time left for it to get into the right position. We didn't find out the sex so it will be a big suprise when the baby is born. The ultrasound tech said even if we wanted to find out it would have been tough because the baby's legs were tucked up against it's butt. The baby wasn't very active but there were times when you could see the baby moving around. Right at the end of the ultrasound we could see the baby trying to put it's hand in it's mouth! The doctor said all the measurements checked out good and that the due date is staying the same. The baby is a whoppig 14 oz. right now and the femur is 3cm or a little over 1 inch long. Tuesday is the start of week 21 so we are over halfway through the pregnancy. We took the next picture of Shelly's belly so that picture will be up sometime soon.

  1. Love these! I've seen so many in the last few months.... I can actually tell what I'm looking at now! At Angie's, her little girl was covering her ears... I thought maybe it was because we were talking to loud! I'm sure these are amazing moments for you 2... in no time at all you'll be carrying around your little bundle of joy! I can't wait!

  2. Very nice ultrasound pictures. The profile shot is way better than ours! In a quick 20 weeks, you will have your hands full. But, the experience is absolutely awesome and you will enjoy the prize awaiting.

  3. After seeing the ultrasound pics, I think you're having a BOY!!! If I take care of you in labor, I'll be able to tell for sure... I'm always good at diagnosing the sex based on the heart rate and how they "behave" during labor!!! Looking forward to that... Kellyna
