19 week ultrasound!

Today we went at 8am to our "20 week" ultrasound, aka screening ultrasound. I was def. nervous just working where i do and seeing everything i see. My nerves have been slightly calmed by having a great check up :) We looked away for the gender portion of the u/s since we will be having a reveal dinner and find out with everyone at once! But that didnt stop us from wanting to cheat- it was pretty tough not to! But we didnt! I think it looks like a boy haha- no really i just have a feeling its a boy!  Kidneys, bladder, brain, limbs, spine and heart were all present and working! Sadly, our 3d images were not very good, baby wouldnt give us a good frontal view of its face so it looks more like an elf, or something out of harry potter.. haha! But we know its just all distorted, the ears and nose appear strange so it just wasnt our day apparently.. but at that point i didnt really care since the baby appeared healthy! here are some of the pics anyways just for your enjoyment. I cant wait to meet Baby B so i can really see what we look like! Im trying to talk ben into letting us get another one out of pocket for fun at around 28 weeks in june- maybe for my bday?! they run about $139 but by that point they have fat on their bodies and show up better and look more normal! Id love a peak inside around that point but i guess well see! Also, we decided on the City Mini GT stroller- its sold out everywhere so we're just waiting for it to come back in before getting our 1st big baby item!  yay!

I could get use to this:


 We have to stare at this for 2 weeks!!!
