Week 20

Nearly incredible weeks!

On Friday I took the day off and we went to the OB to get a scan and measurements of the baby and find out the sex :)

First, the baby looks healthy. No abnormalities were found and he's measuring right in the 50% 'tile.
Second, we are having a boy!!!!!! I'm so excited :)
It took a while to see the sex b/c he was crouched up like a thanksgiving turkey and his feet were over this parts. The doc tried to shake him and had me do a few laps around the place but he wasn't moving enough (Oh, and he's breech right now too) to see, so he had to do the vaginal ultrasound. I wasn't looking forward to that b/c my paps are painful - but I wasn't going to let that stop me - however, this didn't hurt at all!!

It was so incredible to see him moving :) Dan even got a couple of movie we can share. My favorite part was when we were looking straight on to his face and his mouth was open and he was moving is tongue around.

We haven't told anyone the sex yet. We are however, sending both our parents and my grandparents a gender announcement egg. They should be receiving it in a couple days :)

The second thing that happened (just today actually) is we made a first attempt at registering  It seems a bit early to do this, but I'm glad I'm giving myself time to really thing about what's out there and do research. It's so overwhelming! We were out for 5 hours today and if you are going by the "must have" lists people make, we are nowhere near what we need. I think we are close though..might just need to up the quantity of blankets and stuff we picked out.

The stores try to tell you need to register for 5 items per number of guests you are inviting. Well, at least for my family, that is crazy. I've never seen anyone probably buy more than 2 items.

I wish I had a better story to tell here, but my brain hurts so I think I'll stop.
