It's pink for a girl!!

Ultrasound Pictures

We went to have our 20 week ultrasound on Thursday. We had hopes of finding out if the baby was a boy or girl, but the umbilical cord was in the way and the baby was moving too much. It make it hard to get all of the pictures they needed, but finally the tech was able to. We got to see the 4 chambers of the heart, the brain, spine, femer, and a bunch of other stuff.

Here's a picture of the face - which is on the right.

Looking down at baby, on the right is the head, two arms, and then probably the knees.

We're hoping our doctor will bring us in for another ultrasound to find out if it's a boy or girl, but we'll have to see. Our next appointment is next week.

4th of July

Wow. I can't believe I haven't updated for so long. Not much going on here. Still pregnant. Getting over the being tired all of the time, which explains the lack of updates. For awhile there, I was lucky to get changed into pj's let alone blog. Things are looking up now!

I'll be 20 weeks on Sunday - half way done! I'm guessing this was the easy half. And what that also means is that on Thursday the 23rd - we are going to find out if the baby is a boy or girl. Well, that is if the baby cooperates. I really don't have a feeling either way yet. No dreams or feelings of what gender the baby is. I'll definitely post when we know what's going on.

So, 4th of July.

It was great. We went up to the cabin with about 50 of my relatives. Okay, maybe a couple less than that, but it was at least 30. The weather was great after being cold that week. We got there Saturday. Dh had to get out the squirt guns he got at Cabela's the week before. He was SO excited. Of course, he had a double barrel while all of the kids had a single barrel. He didn't even wait to get his swimsuit on. Clothes and all, he started the water fight. The kids loved getting him, but didn't like when he got them! Here's the meanie in action!:
After that, we took the little cousins out tubing. They loved it. After dinner, we took the little cousin's picture that we do every year. This one didn't work as well. Too many squirmers. Uncle Dave and Cousin Dave put on a great fireworks display with Auntie Kaye providing the music. Now we just need to cut down some trees for next year! Hope you all had a great 4th as well. I'll update more next week once we find out!
