20 Week Checkup

Baby Benson's Profile

3D Imaging

3D imaging. He didn't want to move his hand from his face.

Look at those cute little feet!

It's a Boy!!!

It's a boy! You can actually see his femur bones.

I had my 20 week checkup on Thursday, August 19, 2010. Everything is going well. I had another ultrasound done. The baby is hiding right behind my belly button. We found out what the sex is and we are having a little boy!!! His heartbeat was 148 bpm. The sonographer also told us Baby Benson weighs about 14 ounces. Kurt and I met another one of the perinatologists, Dr. Neil Mandsanger. He looked over the ultrasound images and told us everything looks great. Amy, who is my PA, also told me I was doing pretty good with my weight, I've only gained a total of 5 lbs. We are still messing around with my diabetes medication. I've been having a lot of low blood sugar dips, so now I am taking a little less in the morning. I've also been monitoring my carb intake because I know that will elevate my glucose levels. My next appointment is set for September 15th. I'll be 24 weeks along, and at that appointment we will be hopefully be listening to the baby's heartbeat via Doppler.
