Today I am officially half way through this pregnancy with only 20 more weeks to go (unless he decides to make his entrance sooner). Earlier this week we had our big ultra sound to measure all the major body parts and ensure his development is on track. It is such a relief to see there are 10 fingers, 10 toes, a strong heat beat (155 beats per minute) and active arms and legs. He's been kicking up a storm lately so Peter is hopeful we have a future soccer player in the making. He measures 7 inches long (crown of head to bottom) and weighs around 12 ounces.
Whew! It always a little nerve wracking going into the ultrasound room for fear that you may see something wrong in the image, but I have to say from this view point he's looking oh so cute with the exception of the head on shot of the face. No one prepares you for how bizarrely alien your child looks. All you see is a scull outline and eyes bugging in and out of the eye sockets. Scary.
Here is a pic of me at 20 weeks with the bump finally showing!
