Halfway through

Although the announcement was made a little over a month ago about the new addition to the Clark family in February, I am halfway through the pregnancy. Time flies! I have been feeling great. I wouldn't even know I was pregnant except my belly keeps getting bigger. Yes, for those of you who are wondering, my baby bump can be seen. Finally!

At 19 weeks, I had my check-up and ultrasound last week. It was my 4th appointment and 3rd ultrasound. There have not been any problems or complications in my pregnancy so I won't bore you with all details about why I've had so many ultrasounds. My appointment last week was a scheduled ultrasound and Jason came along with me.

When the ultrasound tech began looking at the baby, the baby's hands were behind its head. For those of you who know Jason, he sleeps with his hands behind his head. (Yep, I get elbowed almost every night). The baby is about 10 ounces (9 is average for 19 weeks). Everything looked good, but the tech couldn't see the full view of the heart so I will have another ultrasound at my next appointment.

We even got to see a 3-D image of the baby. Next time I post, I will put the 3-D pics on the blog. How amazing is technology that we can see 3-D images. The facial features were amazing!

The answer is yes! We did find out the gender. Well, not exactly. The gender was determined, but the tech wrote down the gender and sealed it in an envelope. The envelope (although sitting in our SUV) will be going to the bakery.

Next month, we will invite family and friends over for a gender party. After dinner, we will cut the cake and find out along with family and friends the gender of Baby Clark. The inside of the cake will be blue for a boy and pink for a girl.

If you want to find out what we are having.......you will have to wait just like us! :)

Oh yes, I will scan the 3-D images and put them on the blog in a few days.
