Half Way There

I had my 20 week ultrasound a couple of weeks ago. I was nervous, which is not surprising. I just wanted baby to look good and healthy. Well, the tech was awesome. She looked at his lip-no cleft lip. She looked at the fold of skin on the back his neck which can indicate a risk of downs-that measured normal, which means there is very low risk for downs. The baby is completely, and perfectly healthy! We are so happy for that news. He is also measuring 2 days ahead of his due date. First, it was a week ahead, so my due date was changed, now it is 2 days ahead of that. He is a growing boy!

It was great to see him move around, hear his heartbeat, learn that everything is looking good. We are so lucky and so blessed.

I don't feel like she got very good shots of his face though, but whatcanyado. I was also a little disappointed they don't do the 3-D pictures, but this technology is still amazing to be able to see him!

My belly at 21 weeks:



Look at this shot of him crossing his ankles. Must be pretty comfortable in there.





This pregnancy has FLOWN by compare to my pregnancy with Gavin. With Gavin, it seemed like the weeks dragged on, and I stayed at a certain amount of weeks for a really long time. I remember when I reached 20 weeks, it was like, "FINALLY", but then it was also a bummer, because I still had 20 weeks to go. With this one, it's like, "I'm already 22 weeks. It seems like I was saying I was 16 weeks just last week." I'm sure it has a lot to do with the fact that I still have a baby to take care of, but I can't get over how quickly it has gone.

I'm still really nervous to have 2 kids so close, but I just keep telling myself it would have been an adjustment even if Gavin were 2 or older. So, I'm doing my best to prepare myself mentally that it will be another adjustment. A good one though for sure!
