IT'S A BOY!!!

IT'S A BOY!!!!

We had an amazing and exciting 20 week ultrasound today. The radiologist showed us the heart (we could see all 4 chambers distinctly pumping), the kidneys, bladder, spine, brain, and all of the limbs. The baby was kicking and squirming the whole time and the technician said she could even feel him kicking! Yes....I did just say HIM! We are having a lil boy. It was very obvious, no doubt about it! Both Nate and I are extremely excited to welcome a son into our family. I don't think anything could have prepared us for the emotion of the experience. Knowing that we are having a son makes everything about this pregnancy seem more real and tangible.

Our son weighs a whopping 13 ounces right now and is measuring bigger than his 19 1/2 week due date. He is measuring closer to 20 1/2 weeks, which is great! The earlier I have him the less time I have to spend hugely pregnant in the hot Livermore sun :) He had a heartrate of 153 bpm (we got to listen to it again), and everything looked perfectly formed.
