The Half Way Point

I'm almost 21 weeks pregnant. So as far as the timeline goes, I've reached the official 1/2 way mark. 20 weeks is 1/2 way because technically speaking, women are pregnant for 40 weeks....yes, that's actually closer to 10 months!

Will and I had an ultrasound last week only to discover that our little one seems very shy or dramatic. The baby was facing down and no matter how much the technician prodded and poked at my belly, the baby would not turn over completely so we didn't actually get to see the face. Instead, we got to see that the baby is sleeping with the arms held up to the face and hands covering the forehead as if exhaspirated. Here's what we did get a good glimpse at so far:

• An adorable foot (photo coming soon)
• 4 chambers of the heart beating (which were beautiful!!!)
• The tops of the ears sticking out
• A hand with the thumb stuck up in the sucking position

We're proud, doting parents for sure. We didn't get an accurate measurement of length since the baby was curled up in a ball. However, our baby weighed 10 ounces at the ultrasound last week and if my appetite is any indication, then we're going to have quite a big baby. Latey, I've been very hungry. Not to mention a bit emotional. I can basically cry just watching a commercial on TV. :)
