Drumroll Please!

Yesterday we were finally able to get Sarah in for her 20 (now 21) week check-up. She had a regular appointment at 11am, then the big reveal at 12:20pm.

As for the health of the baby, everything seems to be in perfect working order. In the sonogram the doc pointed out the kidneys, the liver, all four chambers of the heart, the lobes of the brain forming, and a completly intact spine. All of this was made slightly more difficult due to the aerobics class Little H seems to be enrolled in; we couldn't get it to stay still! It was pretty entertaining though, I will admit. They also performed all the tests, such as downs and some others, and everything seems normal.

So here's a few photos for your viewing pleasure:

The Head-On Profile:

Apparently we're giving birth to a beautiful baby skeleton.

Here's the profile view. I'll admit, this was pretty surreal. We could see every kick, punch, and dodge. Everything gets very real when this one pops up:

And now, without further ado, I present our beautiful baby girl...

I know, I can't really tell what that thing is either. But hey, that's my daughter so quit staring you perv...

It's a relief to finally quit calling my offspring "it". We're working on names right now and I think we're getting it narrowed down to a few. I didn't even name my own dog, so needless to say I'm not an expert.

So here we are, at week 21 with a very healthy baby girl waiting in the wings. Sarah's feeling her movements now, and I'm pretty giddy about the first day I get to take part in that. Next up: nursery painting! Who's in???
