20 week scan

This week marked the 20-week mark - which means I'm technically half way done! It also means that it was time for the next scan. This scan is called the anatomy scan. The main purpose is to check on the development of the baby to ensure that everything is coming along nicely - 10 toes, 10 fingers, brain, heart, spine, etc. For parents-to-be, it's a great time to see the baby because the scan takes a while. We were there for around 45 minutes. This scan is also when parents can find out the sex of the baby. Our little one is developing well - all organs, fingers, toes, etc were there and the right size. The baby was active at first - moving its legs and arms. But then, it found a comfortable spot and chilled out for a while. It was also a little shy - not wanting to show its bum so that that tech could confirm that the spine was fully developed and covered. The tech estimated that the baby weighs 14 oz - which may mean that I'm going to have a big 'un. Wild to think that something that weights almost a pound is growing inside of me. We got some great pictures from the scan. Mom (Judy) you'll especially like the first one - of course, I doctored this up a bit too!
