Well I am 3 days away, close enough. Anyway, I had my 20 week ultrasound today! It was very exciting to see everything again. Just in 4 weeks things looked so much more clear. The baby wasn’t moving around as much has he was the last time but I also didn’t drink any caffeine before so that is probably why, I guess? The tech kept jiggling my stomach to get him to move, AWKWARD. My mom, dad, and Wade went with me to this one which was neat. I am glad my parents were able to see everything. Mom was able to go with Julie to one, but she said she couldn’t tell what anything was, but our tech was super nice and told us everything she was looking at. Some was more obvious, but others not so much. She said everything looked wonderful, but that she couldn’t get a good picture of the heart. She was looking for the 4 chambers and then some veins or something attached to the heart. She said she thought everything looked fine but just wanted me to come back in, in a month to verify after the baby has grown some more. I really am not worried about it because she didn't seem to be, and I get to have another "medically necessary" ultrasound that I wont have to pay for! It will be neat to see the growth difference from 16, to 20, to 24 weeks. The 16 to 20 week difference was already huge because I felt like I could tell what a lot more was, so it should be the same in a month!
Its weird to think that I am already half way through. These few months seem to have dragged on, so I hope the last half goes a little quicker. I am so thankful though that everything has been so smooth so far!
Oh, I should also mention, Baby Mac is still a boy. I was a little worried about it since I had been reading (a big no no) about how techs get a lot of them wrong at early appts….ha! But he was definitely not shy about showing us that he was still a he. Ha!
I will post some pictures from this U/S when I get home. The ones I took on my phone from the pictures were just not too great, so I'll scan some and add them!
