Today was my 20 week doctors appointment. Yeah! That means that not only am I half way done being pregnant (I can not believe that already.) but it is sonogram day. Josie, Ogdan, and Brent all went with me today to see the baby. Josie was very much excited to see what she says is going to be a baby sister. We did not find out the sex of the baby for the 3rd time. I mean if you do, it would loose its last minute excitement. Josie says it is a girl, so we will see if she is correct or not come January. She has already given her a name. I ask her all the time what if it is a baby brother and each time she assures me it is not it is a baby sister. You will have to ask her yourself what she named the baby. It is really cute!
The baby has a heart rate of 150 beats per minute and is currently weighing in at 15 oz. I am running 3 days ahead of schedule meaning January 8th. However, they do not change your original due date because the first one is more accurate for determining due dates. So, we will have to see. The baby is already in the 80%-tile for babies its age. That is why the due date is different. Amazing how the technology now of days can tell you that information.
I myself gained 4 pounds this month making the doctor happy. I was not gaining weight for a while, so he is happy that I am now averaging a pound or so per week. My current weight at 20 weeks pregnant is....106 pounds.
Josie and Ogdan thought it was pretty cool to see the baby waving at them and to hear the heart beat. At one time the baby flexed its muscles for us to show off the guns. Now, that sounds like a boy thing to me, but we will have to see. Also the baby, had its foot to its mouth. Who knows it could have been sucking on its toes.
Take a look at baby #3.
