22 Week Update

Hi All!

Today was our 22 week appointment. Nothing too much to report. I gained 5 more pounds (which the doctors assure me is right on track) and my stomach is measuring the right size.

Based on the heart beat, the doctor guessed today that we are having a boy. Of course she told us that was simply a guess and not to put any money on it! Regardless, Jason was just a little bit excited. He has heard nothing but "girl" since the day we found out we were pregnant!

It's a ???????

Just got back from our 20 week ultrasound appointment (even though I'm only 19 weeks, 2 days). This was the appointment where we could have found out the sex of our baby, but we stuck to our guns and decided to wait!

The ultrasound was awesome! Baby is looking good.... a whopping 9 oz in weight!!! He or she was squirmming all over the place and for a couple seconds sucked on his or her hand! Here are 3 of the ultrasound pictures... believe me, they don't do it justice.

Seeing the live version is much better!

Here is the baby's profile. The head is on the right hand side with the nose and lips pointing up. You can also see his right arm and belly.

Here the baby is looking right at you. You can see the eyes really well and it looks like he or she is waving to you. See also the spine towards the bottom. Here is the bottom of the baby's foot pushed up against my belly. The toes are on the right hand side.
