Gabe & I had our 20 week check up yesterday (halfway there!!). We got to see the baby during our sonogram, and also chat with the doc.
We've included our sono pics for you to see - there are also two videos of McBaby. We both agree it's easier to 'see' the baby when it's moving. :) Most of the pics were labeled by the sono tech, so hopefully that will help decipher what you're seeing! The 'Moving' video is our favorite. We can't figure out if the baby is hiccuping, burping, or trying to talk to us? :) Maybe you can!
Dr. Jensen said all the information from the sonogram showed that we have a healthy baby! We have two legs, arms, hands, and feet. The heart is working great. The brain looks good. They also said we had fluid in the stomache/bladder of baby - which means everything is functioning well. This news made mommy/daddy very happy! :)
Dr. also said that from the sono info - it looks like our due date is closer to November 1st (instead of the original November 12th due date). The baby is weighing in at 14 ounces - which is quite a few more ounces than it 'should' weigh. I don't think our baby is overweight... maybe just big boned, or big headed (as you can see from the pics). ;)
Dr measured my belly - and from that information - he said that my due date could be around mid-October. So - surely my mom will be fighting for a October 9th bday, and Gabe for October 17th. Whenever it decides to make it's McKeever Debut is fine with us. Sounds like it will be popping in right in the middle of football season... which means he/she will be dressed in lots of purple.
Speaking of he/she... we held strong, and McBaby's sex is still going to be a surprise for us all. The sono tech even put 'secret' on our sono sheet. Dr. Jensen doesn't even know what it is - which he said will make it fun for everybody!!
I'm feeling pretty good... been fighting some acid reflux, which is something I've never had before. I usually have some Tums on hand, and that usually does the trick. Pretty counter productive, because one of my biggest cravings is spicy food. The spicier the better - load up those jalapenos!! :) I have also started feeling 'flutters' of movement, and just last night I was able to feel the baby move a little in my tummy. Gabe is jealous, and can't wait till he can feel it from the outside of my tummy.
Thanks for taking the time to read our update! We hope you enjoy the photos/videos. Glad these photos to 'wear out', because Gabe and I have already looked at them 100x's. :)
Lots of Love,
Tasha, Gabe, & McBaby
