Ultrasound

I had my 20 week ultrasound yesterday--my first one that used the 4D technology, so we can see the baby's features without it looking like an alien. True to form, we're waiting to find out if it's a boy or girl. Everything looks good, although they want to do another ultrasound in a month because they didn't get all the views of the heart and cord insertion they wanted because of the position the baby was in. Raina came with me, and when the nurse called my name (Jennifer), Raina said, "That's not Jennifer! It's mommy--mommy Jenny!" The nurse got a chuckle out of that.
Since they put some ultrasound pictures on a CD for me, it's easy for me to share.

Congratulations Jenny! We have got to get that roomate letter circulating again, since I just found out you were pregnant from your blog! Have a great pregnancy! I'm guessing you are due in December? How exciting! I love being pregnant, hearing about you makes me reminisce(sp):)
