20 Week Ultrasound. It's a ....

Today we had our 20 week anatomy ultrasound. It's a BABY! The ultrasound went well. We saw the baby (way bigger than last time)! The baby is currently breached, meaning it is head up and feet down. The Dr. didn't seem concerned at all with this and said that because the baby currently is so small, it will move around a ton (and flip) throughout the next 20 weeks. I have till 36 weeks to get the baby head down.
The baby was very active during the ultrasound. It was moving its arms and legs and we could even see its mouth sucking and swallowing the amniotic fluid. The heart was beating at 150 bpm and we could clearly see all 4 chambers of the heart. The only thing we couldn't see...THE GENDER. Baby Weiland 2.0 had its legs crossed very tightly and we, nor the Dr. could see anything. (I took this as a sign from God that we weren't supposed to know-especially because it was Chad's  choice not to find out). We will just have to continue to wait until birth in 20 weeks or so.
Baby was measuring about 3 days behind (exactly at 20 weeks) and right now is measured to weigh about 12 ounces.
After the ultrasound Chad and I (Ellery was at daycare) went out for breakfast to celebrate the good news that Baby Weiland 2.0 looks happy and healthy in there.
I had to go back to work then, but Chad picked up Ellery and showed her the picture. All she keeps saying is "my baby sister". It will be interesting to see if she is right, or in for a big surprise with a brother come May.
