Today we had our 20 week ultrasound and our little boy decided it would be funny to be uncooperative. He thought that it would be a good time to flip over and do a face plant as far down in my pelvis as he could, making it impossible to capture everything we needed to on the ultrasound. He was moving his arms and legs the whole time, but refused to move his head from this comfy little resting spot he had found. What a little stinker :-) The problem with his position was that we couldn’t see his heart, so they’ll do another ultrasound when we go in next in another 4 weeks.
Here’s a picture of him tucked into his interesting pose. Doesn’t look to comfortable if you ask me.

Everything else looked great today. We heard his heartbeat again at 150 beats per minute. I also learned that my placenta is posterior (behind the baby), which is the case with about 50% of pregnancies. The good news about this is that the placenta isn’t “cushioning” his movements so we were able to feel them sooner and we continue to feel strong movements.
I’ve also promised some people evidence of the growing belly, so here you go.
20 weeks
I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying this spring weather! What a refreshing time of year!
