20 Weeks and Still Growing

As promised, we're back with a baby update.

We had our routine 20 week ultrasound appointment this morning. As exciting as it was, it almost seems routine at this point! I have to admit, I was excited to get confirmation that Zach was still a boy...and he is!!! Daddy was very happy to see that in the ultrasound.

It's been exactly 6 weeks since we found out we were having a boy...time is flying so quickly. And little Zachary is growing so much. They told us that he has long legs and that he's practicing his breathing. He has all 10 fingers and 10 toes, and all of his measurements look great. He was quite a wiggle worm, though, and they had a very hard time getting any good images. Infact, the tech asked me if I had drank caffeine this morning...and I swear all I had was a bottle of water on the way to the appointment. You know what that means...we have a rascal on our hands!!

Profile shot. He just wouldn't keep still!!!

Smile for the camera. He actually kept looking straight at us!

Zach is in a transverse position, which means he's going across my abdomen. His feet are at the bottom right of my torso and his head is in the upper left corner. Trust me, every time he kicks those little feet, I can tell exactly where he is. He's also facing down, which proved to be a problem in that the tech couldn't get any clear shots of his heart. She had to wrap up the test and call it incomplete, but we weren't worried in the least....he looked to be doing just fine in there. We'll go back in several weeks to look at his heart again and give him some time to grow.
Next time is the dreaded diabetes test...I hate that stuff that you have to drink. This pregnancy has flown by so quickly. I'll be in Florida working next week, and the week of Valentine's day Josh and I are taking Olivia to New York! Wish us luck and warmth. By the time we get back and resume our normal activities, we'll be at 24 weeks!! How exciting!!

Now, I've got to find time to decorate a nursery!!!

Thanks to those who chimed in on my OB saga below. And I'll try to be better about updating! Hope everyone has a super night. Gotta go watch Amercian Idol now!!!
