Today we had our big 20 week ultrasound. I am actually 21 weeks 4 days but my doctor won't do the ultrasound until you are 21 weeks to ensure that everything is developed enough for them to see it. I was really nervous about this ultrasound because if something is wrong this is when you usually find out. On top of being nervous Russ realized last night that he had a meeting at 9 am in Draper and the appointment was at 8:30 in American Fork. We usually sync our calendars so he knows when all the appointments are but for some reason this one didn't show up on his calendar. He said he wasn't going to be able to come. I was devastated and he felt terrible. He has come to all the other appointments but this is THE appointment. He somehow figured out a way to come. I am am so glad he was there to be with me but also to experience it. Dr. Melendez measured the head and the stomach. After taking all the measurements he said that the baby is a little over 1lb. My original due date was March 23 but he said the computer says a baby that size is due March 19 but because it is only a few days they won't change the due date. He then went through the stomach, kidneys, heart, face, feet, hands, arms, legs, spine and everything looked great! Such a relief. When we looked at his face we could see his mouth open. I feel so blessed knowing that everything looked healthy. As most of you know we found out the sex of our baby at the last visit. We were just too anxious to wait but don't worry they had it right the first time. I held my breath for a second but he is still a little boy! We were lucky enough to get a dvd of the entire ultrasound. Warning it is 9 minutes long.
Cute pictures! I am so glad you are having a BOY!! Our boys will be great friends.:)
