The 20 Week Ultrasound Shows...

After much anticipation, today finally arrived and we headed down to see our midwife.

The predictions landed at an even 32 (unless I am forgetting something someone told me...there may have been one other vote for girl). Of course, Caleb's 2nd grade classmates really helped to even that out, voting 22 to 3 for a boy. They know him well. :)

Caleb has faithfully been praying for a boy the last several nights. I told Joseph on the way there that I have bonded with a DAUGHTER and it would be an adjustment to re-orient.

The conclusive decision took some time because this is one lively baby! All the measurements looked great--50th percentile--and the placenta is in a good place, too. All around relief. Oh, and the heart was beating strong at 160.

I think Caleb is adjusting pretty well to the idea. And this consolation prize may have helped a bit:

Most of all, we are thankful that everything still looks healthy and right on schedule! I am still daily amazed at this gift we have been given, this answer to so many prayers of so many!

I continue to feel spoiled with how good I have felt throughout this pregnancy.
