20 Week Ultrasound

Well..........yesterday we got to see the baby for the first time! Alex came along, he was nervous about being shut in a dark room but was very interested when he could see the baby moving. There were a few times when you could see the "a-ha!" look in his eyes when he could really see how it could be a baby. Then he got bored when they took all the measurements and pictures of the heart and kidneys and all the "business" stuff.
Last week at storytime at the library Alex had announced to the whole room that he had a baby brother in mommy's tummy. However it would appear that he actually has a baby SISTER in mommy's tummy! He's taken the news pretty well and thinks that will be exciting too.
The best part of the ultrasound was when she reached up and rubbed her eyes and then turned her face right towards us.
As far as the business stuff goes, the measurements were right on for my estimated due date range....I wouldn't believe them anyway if they said it was different because my test was positive very early and I was charting. We'll get the official report from the midwife next friday but the ultrasound tech said everything looked good!
