Anatomy Scan Day - 18 weeks

Today we had our anatomy scan, and once again we were blown away by how big this baby is!  We went to a special appointment for genetic counseling and a high resolution scan.  The counseling went very well and we were once again reassured that there's very little risk for down's or other issues.  Whew.  Our scan today was amazing, the level of detail was crazy!  The tech literally looked down into the baby's brain and measured different areas to be sure everything was okay.  Then came time for the big question...boy or girl?  I'll admit, I had zero intuition on this.  I refused to even guess because I knew I'd get it wrong.  We were both so nervous for this appointment, so much time leading up the big reveal and here we were about to find out...son or daughter?  The tech froze a screen shot of the baby and described it as if they were sitting on a glass coffee table and you were looking at them from underneath.  I can say that the second the picture popped up, I didn't need her to explain, we were plainly looking at a little BOY!!  Joe and I laughed about it later, there was not a second of doubt, those were boy parts.  Which the ultrasound tech and Doctor both confirmed by saying "that is 100% boy, no doubt about it".  So for anyone out there that thinks, maybe they're wrong, we can tell you, they're not.  Our son is a very cooperative picture taker.  He is still a very laid back baby.  He wasn't moving around too much which was very helpful for all of his measurements.  Only tough part was that his head was right under my belly button, which makes it hard to get a good picture of the brain.  Luckily he cooperated and moved over and they got the pics they needed.
They said he was breach, but at 18 weeks that was nothing to worry about.  They literally flip all around still at that age.  And the placenta is anterior (in the front) so I'm not likely to feel him move as much since it acts as a pillow.  Right after the ultrasound though is when I felt him the most.  Up until today, for the last few weeks, I'd feel little pops and tickles that I thought were him but wasn't certain.  Today I was sure.  He was rolling around like crazy after our appointment and I was thrilled!  Nothing better than feeling him move!!!  We went to lunch together after the appointment before we headed in to work.  I should have taken the day off though because I was on cloud 9 and couldn't concentrate for the rest of the day.  We are having a son!!!
