20 weeks, ultrasounds and other updates :)

We had our anatomy scan last week and it was so much fun. We got to see little feet, and arms and legs and even a little bum.

Of course the muffin was playing coy and had their legs crossed the whole time :) Tech said she was leaning towards a girl but couldn't guarantee nothing was tucked up in there. Most of us have been leaning towards a girl since the beginning of this pregnancy, whereas last time I was strongly getting boy vibes. Of course, "vibes" aren't a good enough reason to go out and start buying either pink or blue, lol, so for now we continue to wait! We were thrilled to see all the limbs and heart and other important things in there though, knowing the sex would have just been a bonus.

My next OB appointment is on Thursday, and we should be discussing the results of the scan at that time. I'm looking forward to knowing whether or not my placenta has moved up at all, though I'm not really stressed either way.

Baby has been moving TONS this week, and I feel like I'm getting bigger by the day.

So here are the pictures of our adorable little monkey :)









































And from www.thebump.com:

Baby's now the size of a cantaloupe!
Baby gulps down several ounces of amniotic fluid every day, both for nutrition and to practice swallowing and digesting. And, these days, those taste buds actually work! Studies show that after birth, babies respond best to tastes they've already had via amniotic fluid. Meaning, think about what you'd like your future child to eat as you prepare your own lunch.
