Halfway Point


A pregnancy is approximately 40 weeks long. We are at week 20... halfway point, babeeee! Our BIG sonogram appointment went wonderfully! The baby was really wriggly so we got extra play time in order to see all of it's important bits. This appointment was focused on making sure all of the vital stuff is growing correctly so we have pictures of the heart, the brain, the bladder, the spinal cord, kidneys, etc. The ultrasound tech did skip the sex organs (or, at least, didn't point them out) as we are not wanting to know.

We got some 3-D pictures which were endearing and a bit creepy. It is nice to see the dips and mounds of our baby's face but it also looked too similar to what my face looks like while on mushrooms. Lava lamp-ish. The measurements are measuring up and it's head is "a round little noggin". To celebrate, we then went to Dairy Queen to eat bad baskets of food followed by a small marshmallow sundae. I then took a body shot off the hot bartender at JD's and wasted a pack of Pall Malls.
