Frogs n snails and puppy dogs' tails...

Well, we had our 20 week ultrasound on Thursday, and it looks like baby U is a BOY!!! Although we would have been thrilled with a lil girl, we were both secretly hoping for a boy on this one, so it worked out perfectly. If all goes as planned, a lil girl will follow a few years down the road. Guess we'll see what God has in store for us. ;)

Everything looked great at the ultrasound. The lil guy was moving all over the place, to the point where the ultrasound tech had to say, "You little stinker! Sit STILL for a minute so I can get your picture!" several times. Ha! She said his brain, heart, and all other major organs looked just as they should at this point in his development.

The doc did say my placenta is sitting kind of close to my cervix right now, but it's nothing to be alarmed about. Apparently it's fine if the placenta is near the cervix, but when it is covering the cervix (a condition known as Placenta Previa), it blocks the baby from getting to the birth canal. In this case there's a higher chance that you may have to have a C section. She said as my uterus grows, the placenta will likely grow with it, so it will be moving further and further away from the cervix as I get bigger and bigger. I guess that's good news.

Have a definite baby bump now. Seems to have really gotten bigger this week!

Here are a couple pics of the lil guy:

Here he is sitting and you are looking at his bottom and legs from underneath. Definitely a boy. LOL!
