20/20 Vision

This is a day late, but anyway, yesterday we got to do our 20 week anatomy ultrasound where we got to see that our baby has the right parts in the right places. The guy says everything looks right on track so we are getting more excited about our little baby in there. We did not find out the sex, eventhough I pretty much caved the 3 hours before and on the car ride over. Brian refused to give in and the ultrasound guy could not have cared less. I think his words were "I wasn't going to tell you anyway..."

But really, I'm not sad not knowing, and seeing the little skeleton, heart, kidneys, hands and feeties that I can't wait to kiss was more than enough. I can't get over how cute those little tootsies were. We also can see a better little face now. We found out the baby is sitting very low this week, with its head down and fists hitting me right below the belly button. I feel it moving a lot, sometimes what I imagine must be a full body stretch, sometimes little taps like dialing for take out, sometimes cannonballs on my bladder and once in a while something that feels like a cartwheel.

Here are some more recent belly photos eventhough we have not been religiously doing one per week...

Excited big sister waiting for her little baby to love :)

Scrambled eggs, blessing or curse?

So we have been doing much better. The baby moves whenever it is hungry and then just after eating. Sometimes in between too, but around meal times it is most consistent. We have not had many episodes of nausea or vomiting unless again it is meal time. Are we sensing a trend yet? The baby Brian and I are expecting likes to eat, who would have thought! We have still been a little picky about food. Chinese and taco bell are still not favorites, just tolerable, and sushi looks and sounds great (but we can't have it). Lately the favorite foods have been oranges, vanilla yogurt and scrambled eggs with cheese. Chicken salad has been another amazing treat. We were doing really well with a two week no vomiting streak until this morning when I decided to brave washing an old scrambled egg pan and.... But still, I am feeling a whole lot more energetic and happy and back to my almost pre-pregnancy self who just needs to eat more frequently and has a little Scootieboo who kicks me :)
