20 weeks....Half way there

We made it to 20 weeks! Ryan and I went to the 20 week ultrasound Wednesday. The tech confirmed it's still a boy! Not that we had any doubts, but we could definitely see the boy parts....he was showing off! It is amazing what they can see on this ultrasound, we were shown his kidneys, stomach, spine, aorta, heart, and many different bones and brain structures. Everything looked great! Baby was so very busy during the ultrasound, he was opening/closing his mouth, arching his neck and wiggling all over the place! It is so amazing to know this baby inside is a living, functioning child inside of me! We were told he is 15 ounces, about the size of a can of pop! Baby center said at 20 weeks, babies should be about 10.5 ounces.....and I was concerned he is HUGE...but after talking to other Moms at prenatal water aerobics, he isn't too big:) We will get to see him again at a 28 week ultrasound and see how much he has grown!

If you haven't heard the big name decision: Baby is going to be Casey Neal. Casey is a good Irish name that we both love, and Neal is Ryan's middle name and his Dad's middle name. I love Baby Casey!

We are hard at work on Baby Casey's room, which will be primary colors with a barnyard theme. Since we have horses, dogs and cats, it is fitting! We have a lot of work, but we have many boxes filled with a crib, changing table/dresser combo, bedding and toms of clothes. I have been really lucky to get lots of new and used clothes from family and friends. We also just got a baby swing....I love a good bargain. My Mom got us a great exersaucer, and we are accumulating bibs, socks, books and toys. We need to clear out his room, paint, steam clean and get everything set up!

I am so happy to have Ryan home after a month of being on the west side for work. I have the world's sweetest, most supportive husband, and it was hard to not have him home and to not get my hugs and kisses. And everything I broke while he was gone is now fixed:)
