Halfway There!

This past week we hit a milestone reaching 20 weeks down in the pregnancy, 20 weeks to go! With this milestone came the anatomy scan/ultrasound. We were able to watch Peanut for 30 to 40 minutes while they measured the organs. Peanut is right on schedule weighing in at 12 ounces. I had to complete the one hour glucose tolerance test an hour prior to the ultrasound, so needless to say Peanut was moving around a bit! Fortunately they were able to see and measure everything that was necessary. The tech did mention that our kid was ornery because it wouldn't cooperate very well. Its funny how everyone that interacts with Peanut has said s/he was ornery, sounds like we are going to have our hands full.

As you can see, Peanut was even crossing its ankles so the tech had to work to get a good measurement of the legs. Luckily Peanut was cooperating with Mommy and Daddy because we were hoping to wait to find out the sex of Peanut until delivery. It was also fun watching Peanut's mouth move like it was blowing bubbles. The doctor decided we barely met the requirements for another ultrasound in 12 weeks due to a miniscule amount of fluid in one of the kidneys. She said not to worry, but come back in after 12 weeks so maybe by then Peanut will be a little more cooperative for better pictures. She did emphasize to us not to worry, mark the calendar I'm not worrying much about it. It does help that this was the last picture we got of Peanut, it is a thumbs up from our baby letting us know not worry. We were very pleased with how things went this past week at our appointment and the ultrasound. We are halfway there and something tells us this part is going to go much faster than the past 20 weeks! We can't wait to meet you little Peanut, even if you are ornery. :)
