We had our 20 week ultrasound on Friday and it was amazing! Baby was cooperating and moving all around for us to see. I've been able to feel baby move since my 17th week (I didn't feel Dawson until I was 22 weeks) so it was so incredible to feel it move and then see those movements on screen.
We chose not to find out the sex of the baby at the appointment. We did have the ultrasound tech write it down and put a picture of the "proof" in an envelope so if we decide to find out before the due date we can open it at a special time with just Chad and I. We are both so on the fence. At one point, we think it would be such a wonderful feeling filled with so much anticipation and excitement if we waited to find out until delivery. But of course the planner in me, and Chad being not the most patient :) just wants to know so we can be ready. Honestly, we'd be okay with either sex, especially obviously as long as the baby is healthy. I'll admit, deep down I would love to have a little girl but I now know how much fun a baby boy is and can only imagine the fun (& trouble) Dawson would have with a brother. My intuition is definitely feeling boy, in part because of my two pregnancies being so similar and it may also have a little to do with the "Bennett boy curse". We'll have to wait and see what happens. Do you think Chad and I are going to be able to make it the whole way without finding out? :)
Here are some pictures of our beautiful baby.
Big Yawn.
Baby was waving to us!
Baby has all ten fingers and ten toes.
The ultrasound tech even did a couple 3-D pictures for us. Technology is amazing!
I love this profile picture with baby's arm curled up and then the other one poking out on the side of it's face.
So what do you think, boy or girl?!

I see a boy. But if it's a girl, forget I said anything :)
So exciting! I'm gonna say girl...just because it goes against all odds! I would die if I had an envelope that held the answer...you guys are strong!
I think boy or girl...that baby resembles Dawson! So precious. I love the little fingers and toes. So happy for you!
Being the mother of those Bennett boys who look like Dad more than mom, says "Of coarse its a boy"
Yes he is already a doll. Just like all our grandbabies!!!!!!
