20 week ultrasound!!!!

Matthew and I went to the doctor on Monday for our 20 week check up. The doctors told us everything is developing on track and so far we have a healthy baby and mommy! We were anxious to verify what our 16 week 3-D ultrasound had found, and make sure that we were indeed expecting a little boy. Much to our relief, it's definitely a boy!! Jackson is already so cute. We can't wait to meet him this fall!!


Here is what the Baby Gaga website says about baby's development:

Week 20: Congratulations, you now have a mini-baby!

Fetal development in pregnancy week 20:

This week you're carrying about 10.5 inches and 10.5 ounces of solid baby-miracle-goodness! Their little delicates bones continue to ossify and toughen while their itsy bitsy finger and toe pads are finishing up. Your little monkey now has teeth buds, although they’re hidden beneath the gum line. And finally! Their limbs have reached their relative proportions—no more alien baby! Their cute pink lips are more defined, and might be helping out in a bit of prenatal thumb-sucking. If you have a little boy, then their tiny testes are descending, though they have not yet passed the abdominal wall. What’s more, eyelashes and eyebrows are also visible. At this point, your little one really looks like a miniature baby—and we do mean miniature as your little swimmer currently weighs a mere eighth of their final birth weight. With half the pregnancy behind you, the most significant gains are yet to come!
