Anatomy Scan

So Mommy and Daddy had their anatomy scan of Jellybean on Friday. Despite Mommy's anxieites beforehand everything looked good with Jellybean. We saw 2 hands, 2 arms, 2 feet, 2 legs, a spine, tummy, heart, head, and brain. Jellybean's legs were crossed at the start of the scan but somewhere along the way the tech must have seen what she needed to see and Mommy and Daddy were clearly too unaware to realize it. Honestly many times during the scan Mommy would say oh is that the and the tech and Daddy would so no its this. The only recognizable things to Mommy where Jellybean's head and spine. The tech did say "her" at one point during the scan while she had been saying baby the entire time but then at the end when Mommy asked if she had seen the gender and if everything was ok there she said "without giving too much away everything is there" So while Mommy and Daddy aren't going to put any stock into any of this and wait till June to see what Jellybean turns out to be it does make them wonder just a little.

Daddy still has to scan the pictures in but Mommy and Daddy got a beautiful 3D shot of Jellybean snuggled up against the placenta. Mommy read somewhere that sometimes babies snuggle up to their placentas for comfort. It was so sweet to see that after reading about it.

Mommy will be officially 20 weeks Monday, half way there. Where did the time go? Once Daddy has the scans Mommy will post them along with a few belly shots. Mommy certainly looks pregnant these days though winter layers and coats do a great job of masking it to the general public.

Another pregnancy random Mommy noticed today was these huge blue veins running all over her breasts. Mommy isnt sure if they are something new or something she never noticed before but all she has to say is EWWWWWWWWWWWWW.

Mommy read that as of 20 weeks Jellybean will start to be able to hear muffled noises and sounds from the outside meaning Daddy is going to start reading soon to Jellybean so he/she can start to learn his voice. Mommy is going to start to look into building Jellybean's library. So much to do before the big day!!!

Lastly yesterday was Daddy's birthday! His last one before becoming a Daddy. Happy happy birthday Daddy!
