20 Weeks

Well we hit the half way mark! I can't believe how fast time is flying by. We had the anatomy scan on Monday and we are having a little boy! I had a feeling over the past couple weeks that it was a boy but we were certain at the beginning that it was a girl. Everything checked out perfect at the anatomy scan, the heart and brain looked beautiful and the tech was able to rule out the chance of club feet (which runs in my family). We got to watch our little boy kicking away and waving his arms and even grabbing at his little winky, lol (yes, it starts that early). I also learned that I have an anterior placenta. The doctor said it's nothing to worry about and she was surprised that I was able to feel the baby kicking already as usually with an anterior placenta you don't start feeling kicks until after 22 weeks. My total weight gain is 10 lbs which 10 - 12 lbs is perfectly normal at this week so overall everything is looking good.

Now that we know we're expecting a little boy I started buying things for the nursery. I ordered the bedding and it should be here next week. It was on clearance from Pottery Barn Kids but they only had the crib bumper in stock (marked to $40 from $70). I found the matching quilt and crib skirt brand new on ebay so now all I need to find are window valances that match. I'm so excited!!!

Here is the ultrasound pic:
