Face Down in the Belly...

We went for our 20 week ultra sound today!! The first thing the tech asked us was if we wanted to find out the sex, to which we both said no. When it came time to look at the baby's legs we were told to look away. At the end she told us she wouldn't even write it in the report, so there was no chance of anyone saying anything. As of right now, she's the only one that knows the sex of the baby, my Midwife doesn't even know. Very exciting, at least in my mind, I know not to a lot of other people.

Everything looked good at the ultra sound, the Baby was face down, hence the title, in my belly. You could see how he/she was curled up and resting. The spin looked good, but I wish we could have seen more of the baby's face.

My blood pressure, urine sample and weight all looked good. The baby's heart rate yesterday (I had a meeting with my Midwife last night) was between 130-147, but today it was back to 151! Apparently it has something to do with how active the baby is at the time.

Because of the Baby's position, they didn't get a good picture of the chambers of the Baby's heart or his/her mouth, as a result we get to go back in three weeks for another ultra sound! I'm trusting that the Baby is fine and looking at it as another opportunity to see the little bunting!

I'll attempt to scan the Ultra sound pictures tonight or tomorrow and also post a few pictures of my ever growing belly!!

We're 1/2 way there.....
