I'm halfway through this pregnancy too! Just passed the 20 week mark. That means we also got to have our "is it a boy or girl?" sonogram on Thursday! It was so exciting! I don't think I would have made it without going to some cheap clinic to find out (due to my impatience) if I hadn't had school to finish up with. All along I have felt like it was a boy, but I started doubting myself the past couple of weeks. I purposely went last Monday, Memorial day, to do my baby registry because I wanted to keep a good perspective in registering for "neutral" things that I could use with a boy or girl (in case I have a different gender on the next time around). My mom came with me, which was a huge help. I had asked friends with kids for advice and compiled about 30 pages of "You definitely want this/You seriously don't need that" lists and made my own list (many thanks to my friends!). I then meticulously went through Target and Babies R Us online to see who had what cheaper and made lists so I could just walk in the store, point and click, and be done. HA! FIVE HOURS LATER... my feet were killing me and mom and I were late for a party. lol I'm just glad that Matt stayed home or we wouldn't have 20 things on our registry. :) All that to say, you can go to Target and Babies R Us and look at all the cool things we registered for!
Then came Thursday - Sonogram day! Matt and I met at the doctors office. I don't think it's hit Matt yet... I couldn't get him to stop playing games on his phone in the waiting room (nervous habits?). We were called back. My tummy was gooped up once again (I really don't like that stuff because no matter how much they wipe it ALWAYS gets on your clothes) and here we go with the sonogram. The first 10 minutes (or maybe it just seemed that long) she did all the measurements and just "checked" things out. Then she turned the screen and showed us the cute little ribs, spine, head, legs, etc. Here's a side view our little monkey.
Then our terminator pic (facing front).
And finally, the gender pic! She froze the frame and asked us what we thought it was... I think I said (in exact words), "I have no idea what I'm looking at." The little words help some...
IT'S A BOY! So, we'll have a little Wesley Scott Zimmermann around October 21st this year! We are so excited to have this kid here! We are so blessed beyond measure. So far he's 13 oz. And I'm starting to feel like a whale, but at least I have summer to relax and swim some for exercise, right?
