20 weeks - half way there!

Well, you know our news for the latest big question...it's a GIRL!

The appt. went well. We started off w/ the ultrasound, which lastest 30 minutes. They do a lot of measurements & pics at this appt. to check for all kinds of things w/ the baby & w/ me. It ended up being more than 50 things they took pics of & measured between us, & all are perfect! After some initial measurements she tried to look for the sex of the baby, but legs were crossed so it took a few minutes. But, before she could announce & show us what she say, Buddy blurted out, "It's a girl, isn't it!" I couldn't really see the screen that well laying down but after a few seconds, she pointed out the three dots that confirm it's a girl! Buddy said he knew what he saw from looking at our friend Nikki's ultrasound of a girl. It was so cute to see her "talking" (you can see that in the video, too) & moving all about. She had her legs up over her head during some of it, which I didn't realize she'd be doing at this point. The sonographer said she was very active. In fact, we had to wait a few minutes for her to settle down in order to get a resting heart rate! The heart rate was 163. We also got profile, face straight on (a little skeletal looking) & parts pics. You can see all the 20 week pics as well as the video we got through the picture gallery & video link on the main page.

After the ultrasound, we met w/ my Dr. to go over the results. She confirmed that all looks great with us both. She gave me some hospital & baby class info & registration & told us about a Big Brother class Kameron can take, which sounds very cute. The due date will remain Oct. 8, although some of the measurements could lean toward a couple of days later. We go back for our 24 week/6 month appt. on June 17.

After we left the Dr.'s office we headed to Babies R Us to do some registering for things we will need. We didn't realize all we'd need for not only a different gender but replacing & new things that are out here 4 years after our first!

Now we are packing up to head off in the morning on a little vacation to the beach! Kameron has really been wanting to do, so we're making a little trip to have some fun in the sun! Thanks for checking in about our news for a little girl heading our way!
