20-Week Ultrasound News

We had our 20-week ultrasound a couple of weeks ago and got the great news that our baby is healthy and doing well. We were also able to find out that we are going to have a little boy! It was really fun to watch the ultrasound and see things like his brain, heart, stomach, umbilical cord, face, arms and legs. At one point he even reached up and was scratching his head with his little fingers. That was really cute. Here are a few pictures from the ultrasound. They aren't the best quality and we had to scan them in which didn't help, but you can still tell what's what :)

First of all, proof that he's a boy :) (Look for the arrow.)
Cute little crossed legs...
Head (so it kind of looks like an alien head, I know, but don't they all look alien-ish in ultrasounds?), hands, and knees...
This news was also monumental on my (Emily's) side of the family because all of my siblings who have kids either just have boys or just have girls. And, with the exception of one of my brothers, all of my siblings' kids are the same gender as my siblings (my 2 sisters have just daughters, 2 of my brothers have just sons, and then my other brother has 2 daughters). So it is fun and exciting to change things up and break the trend. The same type of thing happened in Drew's family with Kathryn since she was the first granddaughter to be born on his side (she has 5 boy cousins that are older than her and thankfully now 1 girl cousin who was just born in October). It will definitely be different having a boy, but we are very excited for him to join our family.
