Monday May 2, we made our way to the first doctor's office to have our all-important 20 week ultrasound performed. We were both nervous and excited for this day! I was more nervous (as I always seem to be when we get close to our appointments) because I'm anxious to hear the heartbeat and have the reassurance that everything is going alright.
Here are the pictures from the Ultrasound. I am still in awe of how amazing technology is and how it allows us to see the baby in such detail. So far baby L is doing great in there. Baby is measuring roughly 5 days larger than our predicted conception date, but not bad tracking on my part! On the day of the appointment we were 19 weeks 4 days and the US measured at 20 weeks 2 days.

I love the leg picture :)
Thats a nice looking arm there. Baby L kept putting its hand up to the face for every image captured.
20 Week Belly Shot
Its funny seeing belly pictures of myself because it feels like it would look so differently. (get me?) When I look down I feel like other people are seeing the same thing, its just strange. And my pregnant brain is just spouting off some nonsense.
20 Week Stats:
-Length: 10.5 inches from head to heel (6.5 inches from head to bottom)
-Weight: 10.5 oz (300g)
-Major Milestones: Baby L is about as big as a banana this week. Baby's tiny bones are toughening up, its finger and toe pads are finishing up their growth. Baby's teeth buds are sprouting up beneath the gum line. Tiny eyelashes and eyebrows are becoming present. I really hope our baby has John's long, curly eyelashes, not mine, or we'll both be using Latisse ASAP!
Well at our last ultrasound Baby Breslin measured two weeks bigger.... and now I sit here waiting one week until the due date... I would have sworn that he would be here by now!!! I can't wait until your little baby comes, and my baby and your baby can meet up, and be long distance best friends! :)
