20 week ultrasound

20 week ultrasound today, February 15, 2008

from the mom:

Today we got to see our baby! They checked all the measurements, which look good at this point. I know I'm biased because I'm the mom, but the baby is so beautiful! It was so amazing to watch him move (yes, him! we are really pretty sure! there seemed to be quite the evidence at certain points!). He put his arms up by his face a lot and moved his mouth open and closed. His little heart was beating so cute (yes a heart can beat "cute" to a mom & dad) at 150 beats a minute, within normal ranges. I've been feeling little flutters the past 2 weeks which has been really fun. Especially when I'm in serious meetings :) Today felt like another chapter opened and it all became even more real. I can't stop smiling. Thanks everyone too for your comments! They are so fun to read.

from the dad:

Yup! He's got a twig and two berries! Well, maybe not two berries yet but the twig is definitely there. Now, watch it come out a girl. Oh well, who cares anyway as long as it's healthy! I'm a very happy guy and proud to be the father of my son. Feels wierd to say that...my son. I think I'll say it again...my son. Wow, still not used to it. Good times.
