20 weeks

In some sense I can hardly believe that it is the half way point to actually holding our little guy, but at the same time it feels so far away. I've worn my first pair of maternity pants this past week! I kind of feel like a little kid because the pants don't button or zip you just pull them up, like the pull-ups commercial "I'm a big kid now!".
Fun Facts about Rex:
-he is 10 inches head to toes
-he weighs about 10.5 ounces
-he can hear now and is already beginning to get used to my voice, we are trying to involve Paul in that too, so he reads to Rex before we go to bed.

IT'S A BOY!!

I think everyone has heard a few stories of a doctor saying it is a boy or girl and then when the baby is born it turns out to be the opposite, because of this I was planning on asking the doctor how sure he really was that it was a boy or girl. However at our appointment yesterday, there was no need to ask, plan as day, we are having a boy. We are both thrilled! All of the guys in the dorm are thrilled too. Today Paul is sporting his baby blue colored tie, and I am wearing a baby blue colored t-shirt in honor of our little guy. Also, Dr. Looff said that he is the cutest baby he has ever seen, he has all his parts, and he is right on target size wise. He did adjust our due date to april 2, 2007 instead of the 4th.
The above tummy shots are from 11.06.06 and 11.07.06.

little kicks!

I have felt the baby move this past week numerous times!

Also, we have our ultrasound on Wednesday and we are planning on finding out the sex of our little one. We both think it is a boy...so we'll see how good our instincts are. Tomorrow marks the beginning of week 19. Rex weighs about 8.5 ounces, is about 6 inches long (about size of a small zucchini), and this is a crucial time for sensory development.
