20 weeks - Half way there!

I had my 20 week sonogram at the beginning of the week to check on baby and make sure everything is developing well. Here is what we found out:
  • The baby's 4-chambered heart was pumping away at 146 bpm
  • The spinal column had closed
  • The placenta is posterior (meaning towards my back - same with Junior; Gaga's was anterior - in the front)
  • The stomach was full so we know baby can swallow amniotic fluid
  • The bladder was full so we know baby's kidneys were functioning
  • The ventricles in the brain were a normal size
  • The umbilical cord had its appropriate 3 vessels and blood flow through it was normal
  • The hands and feet were accounted for
Here's what I look like from the outside
