20 Weeks - The big news!

Today we had our 20 week ultrasound! It was very exciting ... we found out we are having a baby boy! We couldn't see much on the screen other than fuzzy body parts .. but we saw the baby kicking and heard the heart beat. She said she is 100% sure its a boy and pointed out his little penis. We had a doc appointment directly after which my BP was borderline high so I now i will start taking my BP at home a few times a week and keeping track. I am also doing a 24 hour urine collection for a baseline - for future possible protein showing up. The baby is growing appropriately and is 11 ounces! We will do the steroid shot at 24 weeks just in case things turn bad we are good to go. I will have another ultrasound at 24 weeks then another at 28 weeks - to check my amniotic fluid levels and the babies growth. This is crunch time ... I know Malia stopped growing at around 22 weeks so we will be on top of the ultrasounds and make sure the baby is growing fine. Time to think about a nursery! I am wrapping up a lot of loose ends right now. We are moving out of the studio this weekend. Then i will be home editing and nesting. I am in full nesting mode. I hated not having one thing prepared when Malia came into the world .. so I am determined to be completely prepared by 25 weeks with this one!

I came home and told Malia about her baby brother! Here is the video!
