had our 20 week ultrasound today...the one where they check all the organs, brain, heart, bones, spine, etc for any problems. thankfully, everything looks perfect. our little one is quite flexible, too. almost the whole time, he/she had it's right leg up over the head touching the nose. it was hilarious!! we got to see the little mouth sucking and got some 3d shots, which were kind of creepy looking. my baby looks like a skinny old man right now :) well, he/she does only weigh 11 ounces. they could tell what it is, but of course, didn't share that info with us. above are just a few of the 65 pictures that were taken :)

i haven't gained any weight yet, which they weren't real happy about :( i was surprised since i've been eating lots better and throwing up less the last few weeks. so, they gave me the guilt trip and even had me talk to the nutritionist to see how we could intentionally add additional calories every day. the key is to snack, snack, snack and eat whatever comes my way...i'm happy to oblige!!! i'm getting a great start on that tonight when we go out to eat mexican with some friends. they said the baby is right on target for weight so he/she is fine, but they don't want me to get depleted nutritionally. i told them i knew very well how that feels from my last pregnancy and it's not fun!! so, i'm off to snack.....

Lauren--I do hope you get an appetite soon and are able to keep it down!! Mexican sounds great. Someone told me their Doctor told them to drink a milkshake a day to help gain weight. Sounds great to me. Hope you are feeling better.
