04.22.09 ~ "Miracle Baby" at 20 Weeks ...

I went in for my anatomical ultrasound, where the ultrasound specialist goes through every detail of the baby and measures its organs, bones, brain, etc. She also announced that we are having a BABY BOY! The picture below has an arrow pointing to his "boy parts" and she said she was very sure that it is definitely a boy! You are looking at the bum, and you can see the bottom leg with his thigh bone, but the other leg at the top gets blurred out ... and in the middle, is his "boy parts." I am so happy for Nate - he really wanted a boy. I was happy to just have a healthy baby - she said all the measurements were perfect for 20 weeks - but now I'm also relieved that we are having a boy, so Nate can be just as truly excited as I am!


This next picture is of our baby boy's face ... he looks very "skeletal" at the moment ...


The next picture below is the best side profile she could get of our baby. He was curled up in a ball during most of the ultrasound, and it was difficult for her to get the whole side of the body. I thought she got a great shot, nonetheless. It is a side profile of his face, and his arm is sticking up, with his hand up in the air - like he's waving! Say "hi!"
