20 week scan

We had our foetal assessment this morning! it was fantastic!!

J is growing like a weed and is now 18cm crown to rump! Head circumference of 5cm and tummy circumference of 17cm!!!
J weighs 443 grams and has all ten fingers and toes...
J's spine is looking great and is all perfect! The heart and brain are perfect! We saw the 4 chambers of J's heart as well as the 2 hemispheres of J's brain!! We also got to see J's medulla and kidneys.
wow! it was quite very emotional! both B and i had to fight the urge to cry!

J is a thumb sucker and was happily sucking his/her thumb for us! it was too cute!! J's heartbeat is nice and strong! to me, thats the most beautiful sound!
J was sleeping when the doc started and so she tapped to wake him/her up. J seems to take after daddy and like to sleep. So when woken up, J didnt seem to happy and showed this by kicking and punching me. We could of course see every movement, and its amazing to see it as well as feel at the same time...
(oh gosh im getting emotional!)

Oh and mommy(me) is doing great! havent picked up any weight, which doc is happy about and everything is in order!

B has been feeling J kick more and more! last night when trying to fall asleep, J woke up and started putting on a show. kicking and turning and moving about... i think it was because i had been a tad worried as i hadnt felt J yet yesterday, and so J decided to give it horns!!
Its to cute though! i love it!!

anyway...
enough about the facts and stuff...
here are the pics...

J's gorgeous leg...(proud mommy mode)
