Here's my 20 week photo. Sorry for the wet hair- just stepped out of the shower!Ha ha ha! Obviously we didn't find out the gender of our baby- but I thought a little teaser would be funny. Jeremy and I went in for our ultrasound yesterday and had so much fun. Let me tell you- I thought my bladder was going to explode! It's some kind of torture experiment- You make a pregnant woman drink 32 oz of water an hour before the ultrasound, then expect her to "hold it" for another 30 minutes or so while the spread warm goo all over your belly and press into her abdomen. I've never been so happy to pee! Anyway- the baby looked great. She spent a lot of time looking at specific organs and taking circumferencial measurements. We told the ultrasound tech that we didn't want to know the sex, so she didn't even venture to that area. Apparently, baby Christian is stubborn like his mommy. He/she was lying breach and was lying in such a position that the tech couldn't check the chambers of the heart. Baby was sleeping for the first part of the exam, but woke up about half way through and started kicking. I like to think that he/she was just trying to make sure that we got one more look before delivery- we have another ultrasound next month to check out the heart. We're still measuring right on track- Due on November 27th- Turkey Day!! All of the blood tests that we had at our last appointment came back great ast well. I'm posting a couple of pics from the ultrasound. The first one is a profile shot of the baby. You can see an arm up above it's face and the legs curled up on top of it's belly. If you look really closely you may be able to make out the eyes and nose as well- baby is looking right at you.
The second picture is a closer view of baby's face. The eye sockets and nose are quite visible.
And... just for you Mandy- I figured out how to add a poll to the blog. It's on the left hand side. We would love to hear what everyone predicts for our new addition.

I tried voting for a boy and a girl just to drive you crazy!! I voted for a girl just to shake things up a bit. It really doesn't matter to me what it is as long as it's healthy. I'm so excited I can't wait for you guys to get here. Only 5 more weeks! Eeeek. Stephie-Bear
Mama, I don't see my ghost buddy, did you scare him away? Kick you later.
