Today we had our big 20 week ultrasound. The ultrasound tech was laughing as she watched you. She said, "This one likes to move!" She also thought it was funny how you kept pressing your legs up against my stomach and holding them there. She said, "No wonder you feel her all the time!"
The ultrasound tech spent 15 minutes measuring and checking to make sure everything was healthy and growing on track. Afterwards, she asked if we wanted to know what you were. She then said, "It looks like it's a baby.....girl!" I was so surprised! I said, "REALLY?!?!" Daddy was not too surprised because he thought you were a girl all along! We are both so excited!
The best part of all is that you are healthy! The Dr. said, "Everything looks perfect. All the things that are supposed to be there are there, and there is nothing there that should not be there!" Notice your feet pressed up against my tummy in the ultrasound photo! So cute!
Your Uncle Nate also got engaged during my 19th week of pregnancy on December 23rd, 2012! Rebecca will be your aunt soon and you will get to be a flower girl in their wedding :)
Your Baby
Your baby is now covered in vernix (a white protective coating) that keeps your baby’s skin from damage inside its watery world. Some babies are born with this coating still present, but the closer to the due date, the less there will be. Your baby is looking more like a baby than ever before, with proportioned arms and legs, fat layers under the skin, and clearly defined facial features. If your little one is a girl, she will already have half of all the eggs she will be born with (in order to give you grandchildren someday). Sex organs are now identifiable, so if you want to know if you’re having a girl or a boy – you’re about to find out. And if you’re having twins, you might be having one of each. Right now your baby is only awake about 6 hours a day.
