It's a...........
Yesterday we had our 20 week ultrasound. I was so excited that I hardly slept the night before. I had to get up at 6:30 to drink 32oz of water by 7am. Yuck! I still don't understand why they require you to drink so much as 32oz is pure torture for someone who already has a baby pushing on the bladder.
Anyway, the tech spent about 40 minutes looking at the baby and measuring all of the little body parts. The baby was just laying there with the ankles crossed (just like Daddy), but soon began moving all around and kept turning over. The tech said that I have a very active little one, but cannot feel it yet as the placenta is in the front. This cushions my belly from the baby which will be nice when I am really pregnant.
Right before the tech tried to take pictures of the baby's face and find out gender, the baby decided to take a nap. It curled up into a little ball and fell asleep. I was so worried that we would not be able to tell what it was, but the tech kept nudging my belly to wake the baby. Before the tech even told us the gender, it was very apparent to me what it was. We are having............
a BOY!!!!
Gage Aiden Kozick is weighing in right now at 13oz and is doing great. He was diagnosed with a fetal anomaly, but it is nothing to be worried about. He has a little bit of calcium in his heart which is a marker for Down Syndrome, but he does not have Downs. The doctor said that he showed no other problems and the calcium would most likely be gone by birth. It is apparently common to see in developing babies and the doctor said not to worry.
It was so reassuring and fun to see Gage for so long. Greg couldn't stop smiling and talking when he found out the baby was a boy. He really wanted to have a boy first. The doctor asked me if I was happy that it was a boy. I told him that I was, but that I had really wanted a pink nursery. He laughed and begged me not to do that as Gage might not like it when he was older. I had a girl nursery all planned out and have no idea what to do for a boy. At least I have plenty of time. Any suggestions are welcome. Here are the pictures that we were given.
I may be biased, but I think that he is already cute as a button. I can't wait to see him on the outside. Only 20 more weeks to go. WooHoo!
