Baby Update!

Hi All!

Well, this week marks week 20 for me! I'm halfway through my pregnancy! HOOORRAY!  I'm so much closer to meeting this amazing little blessing and I can't freakin wait! Here are a couple of photos from our BIG ultrasound that we had on Friday, March 1.  We kept the gender a secret so you'll all have to wait in anticipation with us! EEEP!

Baby Janos! "His" head is on the right of the photo and his tummy is on the left. Love that nose.

There's a pic of his perfect arm.

there in the middle of the picture is his little hand. can you see all the bones? 5 fingers! all perfect!

baby foot! His feet were crossed at the ankles. so proper!

feet crossed and the ankles and his little arms were up by his face. I'm already so in love.

Again, I want to stress that we do NOT know the gender of the baby yet. I only say "he" because I guess I hope it's a boy...but no matter what gender that little thing comes out..I will love it endlessly. I already do. Seeing my baby for the first time (as an actual baby looking human) was incredible.  I cannot wait to meet this little bundle. His heart rate was between 147 and 157 beats per minute and he's an active little bugger. When the doctor was trying to catch the heartbeat on the Doppler, he kept squirming out from under it. Silly little baby!  OH..and when he was on the ultrasound, we could see his little mouth moving. open and shut, open and shut.  he was either singing, like his momma, or sucking in the fluids and spitting them back out. Either way, it was pretty neat to see him move. 

I'm feeling movements more and more. Yesterday I felt so many flutters, and today he's been pretty still. must be tired from all the workouts yesterday. :)  He's gonna be a fidgeter like his daddy is.  (great...just what I need. Two people who can't sit still to save their lives)

Here's one last pic...my 20 week bump. When I have more substantial growth to chart, I'll make a cute little collage of my bump pics.  but there isn't much to see at this point. I've only just started really, obviously showing and the bump will get bigger from here. :)

Alright, that's all for now. Happy baby gazing! Love you all!
