A Big Day

So, Matt and I went in for our twenty week ultrasound this morning and found out that we are having a girl! We got lots of great pictures and a video (posted below) of the little lady snuggling into my womb and touching her face. Normally, 3d/4d scans aren't done until week 28, if they are done at all, but the NP working with us decided to try because, apparently, the baby and I have a perfect amount of amniotic fluid, which facilitates good imaging. It was a wonderful surprise; we were not expecting to have that kind of a scan. But, then again, everything about Dr. Darby's office is nice, right down to the pre-warmed belly jelly they apply before the ultrasound. It was a very emotional and exciting morning. Dr. Darby and his nurses were kind and funny and helpful and encouraging as always. We feel very lucky to have stumbled upon him.

After the ultrasound, we drove over to The Domain and had fancy tea services for lunch at The Steeping Room. Oddly enough, a local Austin blogger has pictures of the exact lunch Matt and I had here. I'm sure you can guess which of us ordered the meal with the matcha dusted brownie.

Here are a few stills of little baby Bush; they're certainly not as exciting as the video, but still very nice.
