20 week ultrasound

Corey and I just had our 20 week ultrasound on Monday. The appointment went very well. We were told our baby had a gorgeous head, and heart. Of course every parent knows that their child is gorgeous, but the appointment really let me take a deep breathe and relax. I tend to be such a worry wart, so was just such a relief to know that our child is growing and developing how they are supposed to.

In the top picture you can see the babies head with a big glob on top of it. That is my placenta which the baby stayed snuggled up against for most of the ultrasound. We did not find out the sex of the baby, just to torment all of you really! For those of you though who are trying to venture guesses, I will tell you this. I have no idea if I am carrying differently. I have been told that my tummy appears more round this time, and that I am carrying from the behind (just what every woman wants to hear! :) The babies heart rate was 163, my symptoms with this pregnancy have been about the same as the last one, although I am more fatigued this time. I'm sure that carrying around a toddler who refuses to walk has nothing to do with this however! :)

Our due date is still December 25th. I have truely wonderful Grandpa Smith who has a birthday on December 23rd, so am hoping that this baby decides to honor us with his/her presence on this amazing mans birthday.

Thank you all for your love and support. I consider myself such a lucky person to have so many people who care about us and our latest soon to be addition.
