20 weeks & overjoyed!!!

Hi Family & Friends!

Yesterday was a VERY important and exciting day for Jim and I! We had our appointment with the specialist at Maternal Fetal Medicine for a Level II ultrasound. This was ordered by my regular OB due to my hypothyroidism. We both, of course, got a bit nervous about it. Our last ultrasound was at 13 weeks so I was excited to see how much baby had grown. The tech first did the scan and even used "warmed" gel. How nice, right? Anyway, first we saw the inside of the brain! How cool! All was good and she told us what she was looking at and most of the time we followed. I said something about getting the sex of baby in an envelope and wondered when she would ask us when to turn away. She responded "I took a peek" and knew already! I told her she was very sly!! I told Jim the whole time I have been feeling girl vibes, but since she said that I was thinking boy since all she had to do was peek and knew. Jim is the opposite thinking boy the whole time and after yesterday thinks girl now. LOL!

Anyway, then Dr. Duval came in and went over history and details. He then scanned the baby too and told us what he saw and how that ruled out defects/abnormalities. We learned so much & were SO thrilled that all was healthy! Baby weighed 14 ounces yesterday! Almost a pound! Funny because I have gained a little bit more weight than 1 lb!! lol

Jim and I left with our special envelope to reveal the sex of our miracle baby. We were both so exited and had huge smiles on our face after this appointment. I still can't believe this is finally happening to us and am SO thankful to God that the baby is healthy!!!! Hallelujah!!!
