Half way to the finish line!

Tomorrow will mark the half way point of this pregnancy (20 weeks)!

Yesterday, George and I went for the 20 week ultrasound. We were both amazed at how much the baby has grown and developed in 8 short weeks. Little Eldredge cooperated and did not flash us, so it is still a surprise as to what we are having.

We were able to see the 2 hemispheres of the brain, the 4 chambers of the heart, the kidneys, bladder, and stomach. We were also able to see our baby's profile and the spine. The only word for it is amazing. The heart rate was a strong 152 beats per minute. Also, according to the tech Little Eldredge weighs a whopping 11 ounces!

I think the highlight of the visit though was when we got to see his/her foot. We both popped out laughing because it appears that our baby is going to have his/her father's toes!

We go back to the OB in two weeks for my 4 week check up. I am sure at this time he will talk to us what the ultrasound showed.

In the meantime, things are going well for us. We will keep you posted on any new developments.
