Half way there!

We are at week 20 with pregnancy number 2, half way there!  Today was the much anticipated ultrasound appointment, our first real glimpse of Baby.  As controversial as it may be, and as we did with Riley, we did not find out the sex of the baby.  Surprises are fun and its a little extra motivation to get me through labor...when Im shouting explicits and saying, "I cant do this!"  And besides that, the look on Daddy's face will be priceless when the doctor announces what it is...making me so grateful that we didnt already know. 

The technician was very sure of the due date, May 29, as it has always been. So we'll wait another 20 or so more weeks before we get to meet little miss or mister. Unless of course this baby too decides to take after its mother and be late. But everything else with the appointment checked out with flying colors, for both me and the baby. And we have lots of wonderful pictures to remember by.

We saw both feet right away, both with five toes each.

 I love my baby but this picture is just a wee bit creepy.

I cannot stress enough how much this profile picture looks just like the one we have
of Riley at this stage.  From the nose down to the chin, its spot on!

This was one of those rare opportunities where we were able to capture on film,

the baby sucking its thumb. 

It really was quite awesome.  The video we have didnt turn out so well but it was as clear as day that it had its thumb in its mouth.  It put it in and took it out, you could see its lips move and everything.  Its astounding to know that its developing into a real baby, one that will be here in just a few short months.
