I’ll get to the great news first, Baby B is healthy and
perfect at 20 weeks!
We went in for the BIG ULTRASOUND (that’s what everyone
calls it apparently) last Wednesday. I
was more than a little nervous as they took 45 shots of Baby B. The doc looked at the heart, heart chambers,
organs, spine, brain and head along with measuring all the major bones like the
femur and what not. She explained here
and there what was on the screen. She was fast as lightening as she took her
images and carefully minded our wishes not to know the gender…yet. I don’t feel like I got to enjoy this ultrasound as much as the 13 week one, mainly because I was trying to not see the gender. I watched the screen but in the flurry of limbs and organs and changing views I didn’t get to really see the baby as much.
The doctor came in to review the results with us and give us the good report that Baby B is developing normally. I felt a huge relief, almost like I had permission to really embrace and enjoy my pregnancy officially. From there we made the official social media announcement – I’m only on Instagram, so I think most everyone on there already knew I was expecting, but still…
20 weeks, halfway there and healthy baby! I couldn’t ask for anything more.
