Oh yeah, we've got scrotum!

Last Wednesday we had the 20 week ultrasound appointment which was so excited for both Josh and I.  We got to see the images of our little baby.  At the appointment, the ultrasound tech asked if we wanted to know the gender and we both eagerly confirmed we HAD to know the gender.  As she glided the transducer across my belly she found the right spot and announced that we're having a boy.  Josh echoed, "We're having a boy!"  with such awe that it was beyond precious.  I will never forget it!  The moment, though, was short lived when the technician tickled us with her comment, "Oh yeah, we've got scrotom."  It was everything I could do not to double over in laughter--priceless!  Here's a photo of our little boy's head in profile:

Everything looked normal on the ultrasound and apparently our little guy is going to be a bruiser (well, maybe).  He's currently in the 90th percentile for growth.  Wow!  Is it bad that I'm hoping he's closer to the 50th percentile when it comes time for delivery?

At the doctor's exam, our boy's heartbeat was sure and strong.  We even got to hear (and feel) a big old kick.  His movements continue to get stronger and I'm feeling lots of little punches and kicks already.

Our Christmas celebrations were wonderful!  We got to spend time with our amazing (and sometimes long lost) family members.  (Baby even got quite a few presents--lucky little guy!)  At Christmas I was in fine form...absentminded as ever!  As my nephew opened his brand new dinosaur toy, I called it an elephant.  Oh dear, I better get it together or my kiddo is going to be very confused!

Here's hoping your Christmas holiday was wonderful and your New Year's celebrations are fantastic too!
