20 Weeks Ultrasound / OB visit















We went for our 20 weeks OB visit and ultrasound today. The first thing the tech looked for was the baby's gender and . . . It's a BOY! ! ! (As you can see in the last pic, the arrow is pointing to his boy parts LOL)

She also checked everything else: his head circumference, the ventricles in his brain, his heart and all the chambers, his vascular system (his heartbeat was 154 bpm), and lots of other things... it was very thorough. Everything looked great. He is currently weighing in at 1 pound. The tech said he has long legs and finger, but since Tim and I are tall, there is no surprise there!

There was a small issue with one of his kidney's, the bladder inside the kidney was slightly larger than they like. Apparently they prefer the size to be around 4mm and his was 6mm. The Dr said it was nothing to lose sleep over or really worry about, but they will do another ultrasound at 24 weeks to double check it.
