Well today was our second ultrasound. We are at 20 weeks so it was much different than the first one. I had to drink ALOT of liquid before the appointment...anything other than milk. So I had orange juice and water. The technician asked if I had drank coffee becuase the baby was moving all over the place and she had a hard time getting it to stay still enough to take the measurements. I guess I gave the baby a sugar high from all the OJ. It made me laugh to watch her try to catch it just right.
Everything looked good, the baby weighs about 14 ounces and she said it has long legs and a good size head. Hopefully it wont be my dad's head....we call it the freakishly large head. haha
She also said that she could tell what the sex was but didnt tell us. There was a brief moment of "Okay just tell us" but we stayed strong so it is still a suprise. She doesn't even tell the doctor. It was really fun to watch. They also recorded it all on DVD so we can watch it at home again. Ahhh technology. Here are two photos of the baby.
Oh and I forgot to mention that my belly seems to be growing pretty quickly now and I gained 9 pounds from my last appointment. I gained 2 prior to that for the entire time. I guess 11 pounds in 5 months isnt bad but I hope I dont gain 9 every 4 weeks or I will be in trouble.

I'm proud of you for staying strong! I don't think I'd be able to do it. I'd have to tell the nurse before-hand "No matter what I say, no matter what I do or how mad I get... DON"T TELL ME!"
:-)
The baby is adorable! We are glad you stayed strong too! We love surprises. Grace, Audrey, and Luke want to see more pictures!
