Well, today was the day, and what a fabulous day it was!! We are 20 weeks along, halfway through the pregnancy!! We also found out we're having a baby boy :) The Dr. said that everything checked out great with both mom and Baby A. This week Nugget is the size of a canteloupe! We got to spend about 25 minutes today watching Baby A float around in his home, he was pretty active, moving all around, waving, punching, kicking, sucking his thumb, grabbing his feet and grabbing some other boy parts :) The Dr. thought his heart looked strong, and his heartrate was 167. I now understand why it is so quick after seeing how much he moves around. We got to see all of his limbs, fingers, toes, spine, brain, heart, kidneys, boy parts, and face. It was pretty surreal to say the least. Once they click it into 3-D it gets even crazier! You can absolutely tell it's a little baby, and even though his face isn't fully formed yet, you still get a pretty good idea of what he looks like. We are pretty excited, Derc was ecstatic to say the least, he couldn't take his smile off his face. He's so happy he'll have someone to teach all of his favorite hobbies to and have a little mini-me to follow in his footsteps.
After our doctor appointment we got to go shopping and buy some clothes for Nugget....his Dad bought him a Chiefs onesie :) He's trying to convince him which team to pick early on. We went out to eat tonight to Buffalo Wild Wings to celebrate and met up with Ben and Kyli (Ben and Derc worked together and Kyli is about 37 weeks pregnant) and had a great time with them!
This weekend we have some fun plans we're looking forward to so we should be able to kick back and relax!
We're so excited that we will have another grandson. He looks amazing! I'm surprised that Derc purchased a Chiefs outfit - I would have sworn the first outfit he would have purchased would be a UNI outfit!
