20 weeks

Baby L,

We are half the way through this journey together. Your father and I couldn't be more excited about meeting our little blessing.

This morning was one of the best mornings of my life, and I am sure your father would say the same. We got to see you moving around inside of my belly. You are measuring exactly at 20 weeks today, so we were right on with the November 1st due date. Your little heart (with all 4 chambers, yes we saw them all) was beating away at a perfect 130 bpm. You weigh 14 oz., almost an entire pound! Your nose measured at 6.4 mm. How adorable is that?

After the ultrasound we grabbed a quick breakfast together. We discussed our favorite part(s) about seeing you. Your little feet right next to each other, your little hands clenched in fists, and my personal favorite was how you kept opening and closing your mouth like you wanted to tell us something. We joked that you were trying to telling us to keep Coop from barking during your nap times.

It truly was amazing. This should be our only ultrasound if everything keeps going smoothly, so the next time we see you will be when you enter this world.

We still don't know what you are. She asked if we were sure. We nodded. I almost caved, but your father stayed strong.

It is the best feeling in the world to hear that everything looked great today. As always keep growing little one.

Love,
Momma

P.S. I showed Cooper your pictures after work. He spent quite a bit of time sniffing them. I think it is safe to say that translates into excitement.
