Ultrasound #2

We had our 20 week checkup recently and found out lots of good news. We have a healthy baby and a healthy momma so the most important signs are all good. The doctor told us Chewie is nearly 12 ounces right now, or the size of a decent steak as I put it. He also said that all progress looks great right now and the heartbeat is still very strong.

We got to look at another ultrasound and it was amazing to see the level of development this time. We saw the skull, spinal chord, feet, hands, nose, eye sockets (kinda creepy) and some internal organs like the stomach and bladder. Unfortunately, baby Chewie was butt up most of the time and the doc couldn't get a good view of the face so the 3D picture was just legs- good looking stems though, if you ask me.

Here's a few of the ultrasound pics that we scanned:


In case you're wondering, we did find out the sex of the baby, but certain individuals don't want to know so I'm refraining from posting it here- which is making writing a lot more difficult. So if you know already, then you also know who not to tell, and if you don't know, just ask.

I also want to send a public thank you out to Teresa. I was away in Dallas for an interview on Friday and Saturday of last week and I got a call from Kelly telling me that the stroller system we registered for was already delivered. She told me Teresa snagged it for us all the way from Kabul, Afghanistan. I didn't realize they had Babies R Us over there so apparently our Western ways are winning them over :) So T- thank you so much! You rock, stay safe, and we're going to buy you a few margaritas when you're back in town. Expect some pics of Tater taking a ride very soon!
