"halfway" mark

Well, it wasn't exactly half, as I was 19.5 weeks. But, it was considered my halfway scan and followup.


Bug measured perfectly. A little ahead, again. But, I see that as a huge accomplishment :) His face was so cute, I could die. He opened and closed his hands in a wave like motion that melted my heart. He was not shy about being a boy, and showed us his parts quite a number of times. By the end of the ultrasound, I was BAWLING. I was so much more in love than I thought. The ultrasound tech was awesome. She let me bring in an extra person, gave both grandparents a copy of the cutest profile picture you have ever seen, and gave my a big hug at the end. The table in the room dropped down while I was on it, and the jolt hurt my back, but I don't think it is anything a good massage won't fix. 


Dr.Schram said everything looks absolutely perfect. Nothing exciting to say, which is better than you would think. We got the results of my quad screen, and this baby has a 1 in 250,000 chance of being born with Downs Syndrome, which is ridiculously low. 


I am in shock. I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't fall back asleep because as Bug was dancing around in there, I kept thinking "I have a son, you are my son." It is very exciting and overwhelming. I don't have a lot of experience with boy babies, it is going to be new territory for me. But I cannot wait to watch Bug grow into his daddy's mini-me. I can't wait for the day that Odin turns to me and says that some day, he wants to marry me, "mommy." I am tearing up talking about it, and I am on my way out for a performance, so I need to stop. LOL. 


I thought I wanted a girl. But, the second the tech said "boy," my greatest desire in the world was for a sweet, ornery, wild boy. I can't wait for what the future holds!
