20 weeks!

Technically I am twenty weeks and two days, but Baby D is measuring at 20 weeks on the dot! Today was our big ultrasound. Our technician was adorable and has been doing her job for 15 years. Each  time we go to the doctor it is calming for me. I know that God has such an awesome plan in store, so everything I have to do I just feel His presence. It's pretty neat. While our technician was going over all of the basics, and talking to us about each step she was taking, it was just so calming.

So to the report! The head and everything they check ( I honestly can't tell you) looks perfect. The heart was beating at a beautiful 147 beats per minute. As usual, I started laughing uncontrollably when we heard the heart beating away. There's just something so joyful about hearing it and seeing it.  The spine was beautiful, bright, and perfect. I take pride in that spine because it was the most difficult time during the whole pregnancy. (... And by difficult I mean I just slept the whole day away!) Baby D has two hands and two feet. The stomach, kidneys, and all of those parts looked perfect. We are right on track for a December 29th baby! We met another met doctor and she was lovely. I have to see all 5 women in the practice before I have the baby. I think I've seen 4. Who can remember that far?! I have loved each one so far though. 

Jessi went with us and kept her eyes open when we closed ours during the gender part. She and Valerie have a huge secret to keep! We aren't really anxious about knowing. The 24th will be here before we know it. 

Goals for the month? Change my insurance card. I haven't done it. It's such a hassle, but everyone in the office keeps calling it Baby Krueger... I feel bad for Jeremy. He worked hard for years to get me to take his last name! 

Here is Jessi with the photos that have the gender and our DVD of the ultrasound. 

And I am not a fan of showing ultrasound pictures at all, but I know our family wants to see this kind of stuff. There are like 20 more. I just like this one best because of the little face. 

Anyways, I hope you have enjoyed your 20 week update! I'll post again soon!!
