Fetal Anatomy Ultrasound

I had my 20 week fetal anatomy ultrasound this week!  It's so cool what technology can do.  They look at the baby head to toe and check all sorts of things to make sure all looks well.  This is usually the appointment when you find out if it's a boy or girl but since we already knew, we didn't have that anticipation.  However, it was still pretty cool to see Anderson with such detail!  

Our doctor refers out for this ultrasound and we went to the same company that we used for Cooper but WOW have they changed! Their office is located at St.Davids Hospital in Austin so it was a little drive. They were doing alot of construction so finding parking and where to enter was also an adventure. THEN, we searched all over for the darn place!  We probably asked 3-4 different people for help before we found the actual office only to find out that for this appointment, they send you to another place in the hospital that we just so happened to pass by 3-4 times as we were looking for where to go, so we were late!  But, everyone at the hospital was very helpful and nice as they tried to help us! Plus we were the only ones waiting, unlike our usually dr. visits where we wait and hour or more to be seen.  

Next, I had to register with the place which I thought was weird and they asked me all kinds of questions as if I were delivering there.  Then I got a hospital bracelet! Very strange, I was thinking, "Do they know I'm not having the baby yet??" haha.  But i guess it was all normal procedures for them.

Now the confession....during the ultrasound, the room was dark and cool and there was soft music playing and although it was cool to see Anderson, it took about an hour for the tech to get all the measurements she need and she was talking us through what she was doing but I have to admit, I was starting to doze off here and there!  I couldn't believe it!  I was just hoping I wouldn't full out fall asleep, haha.  When it was all done I told James and he said he was too! WE ARE BAD PARENTS, SORRY ANDERSON, we do love you!!!!!!

With that out of the way, they gave us some cool pics and a video of the whole appointment!  Anderson checked out great and is about 1lb. right now and has all 10 fingers and toes!  

Anderson's profile. He is either sucking his thumb or just has his hand up saying HI!

Yup....still a boy!!!

Cute feet!

Cool pic of the spine!

Today I finally broke out the maternity pants!  I'm at a weird stage right now because my regular jeans are just a little tight but I was pulling the maternity jeans up all day.  Cool thing though, I reached into the pocket and found a dollar!!! HAHA, it must have been in there since I was preggo with Cooper...too funny!

So there you have it for now! I go back to my regular doctor in a few weeks for my glucose test...yay! (sarcastic) I'll have the next update then! Thanks for reading!
