Halfway there.....

We had our 20 week ultrasound today. The perinatologist measured our baby and checked all of his organs. We got up-close pictures of his kidneys, heart (all 4 chambers), stomach, palate, lips, nose...everything was normal for a 20 week old fetus, according to the doc. We were so excited to see him again and to see how he's growing. It's humbling to see all of those little organs and to imagine them working away to sustain that little bitty life. Both the doctor and the sonographer confirmed the earlier call that Baby Smitty is a BOY...He had his legs wide open for us today and his manly business was there for all to see!
A sidenote: We had a wonderful trip home to Chicago/Iowa to see our families for Christmas. It was so fun to see everybody again! Another note: Baby Smitty's father is obsessed with a game called Guitar Hero on Playstation 2. He bought it today and is trying to master a number of hard rock songs on his guitar. Our Jason....a frustrated rocker afterall!
Will try to post pics tomorrow!
