Daddy better learn how to start (baby) rocking…

Daddy.

Wow.

Halfway there! Beth and I had our 20 week ultrasound today! Apparently, the little person is particular to the lower part of Beth’s uterus and liked being curled up in a ball, feet above the head, playing with them! How cute! The ultrasound tech also thought it was cute, but wanted to get some good pics to make sure everything was progressing well. Even with a full bladder, s/he didn’t want to leave the lower part and made it a difficult picture day! All in all, baby ‘Berger is in the 50th percentile in all the major measurements. Head size, leg length, stomach, and one other thing (so many views!). Two kidneys, stomach with fluid in it (can swallow), intestines on the inside, no cleft lip, no overly large fat spot on the back of the neck, good, flexible spine, 10 toes, 10 fingers, proportionately growing appendages, and a little bitty… nothing.

We asked the tech to write down the sex of the baby and put it in an envelope so if we change our minds, we can find out. Well, because it’s bottom was so far down the deepest reaches of it’s current home, I don’t think she found out. Beth claims she saw “nothing” from a quick turn and a “bottoms up” view and is convinced it’s a girl. I saw nothing conclusive, so she could be right. Do I care either way? No. Would I prefer a boy? Of course! I’m a guy!

It was awesome watching our little wonder play inside of Beth. The tech even tapped her tummy in an attempt to move it around into a better viewing area. All in all, we did get some good pictures including the one above.

I better note: in all the pictures, it’s head is on the left, looking up!
