20 Weeks...Half Way There!!

Not the greatest of all pictures - but here is Baby Meidam #4! Isn't he/she beautiful? I think so! Look at those perfect fingers, tiny little legs and those little defined arms. Isn't technology great?!?!
20 Weeks - half way! Wow! Crazy. This pregnancy does seem to be going fast. Our 20 week ultra sound was just 2 days before our official 20 week mark - Monday, April 11. We saw Dr Pircon again (as we did with Grant and Alayna). He was pleased with everything. Said the baby looked great and everything with Mommy (placenta, cervix, etc) looked good too. He even said the baby's growth put him/her about 3 days further along than my due date (but really, I know, that means nothing!) The baby's brain, heart, other organs all looked good.
So...some days (like right when the dr tells us this news) it makes me feel good. Like - whew - all is going well with this baby. And then there are other days where the other part of my brain starts working and it just tells me that Briana's 20 week ultra sound looked good too. So what happened? And that answer is something we will never know.
With Grant and Alayna's pregnancies I had 20 and 26/27 wk ultra sounds and then did one about every 3-4 weeks until week 35 or so to make sure all was on track (and stayed that way). Dr Pircon indicated this time that since everything was looking good at 20 weeks and we've had 2 successful pregnancies since our loss that he may not recommend as many ultra sounds this time. He did ask us to come back about 26 weeks and we will find out more after that appt. I think I would be ok with less - however I would still like one more before the end. Just a little extra reassurance.
I was sort of out of it I guess - I didn't ask how fast the heart rate was or anything - so I can't say any of those fun things so we can guess boy or girl. We did NOT find out. We just LOVE that delivery room announcement "It's A _________" So far my 'gut' feeling says boy. We'll see if I can go 4 for 4 :) We would feel very blessed to have either one. At this point if it was a girl - at least she would have a name. We have always struggled to pick a boy name though and this time is no different.
We're looking forward to meeting this little one! Keep on kickin'! I love each and every one!
