20 week fetal assessment

So we are officially just over 20 weeks pregnant and had our 2nd fetal assessment scan this morning.  Baby A #2 is still a boy by the look of things (STILL getting my head around this idea!) and he weighs 332g.  We couldn't get a nice length measurement as he wasn't very cooperative and was lying with his back facing my stomach (he is facing my back) and then decided to do some gymnastics and was in all kinds of weird positions.

Everything looks normal with the pregnancy which is always such a relief.  I've been going to the toilet far too much though so the doctor is sending my urine off for further testing just in case there is a UTI present.  In the mean time, bless the doctor, he has prescribed some Aterax for me to help me sleep.  Lately I haven't been sleeping well and I am not sure whether to attribute my lack of sleep to my hundred toilet visits or attribute my toilet visits to my lack of sleep (and me then thinking I need the toilet when in fact that's not really the case).

I had to laugh, the doctor said it MUST be a boy as he had his hand between his legs.  Yes, the touching and fiddling in that area starts in utero!

I cannot believe that we are half way to meeting our little prince.  I cannot even begin to imagine what he is going to look like and often try to picture his little face.  I'm assuming he will have lots of dark hair like his sister and cousin Noa and of course he will be beautiful.  The doctor reckons he has quite a long nose so we shall see.

I am still managing to fit into my normal clothes and have been avoiding my maternity clothes as much as possible, although the button on my jeans does get undone near the end of the day!  I think it will be a matter of days before I relent and go for the more comfy clothes!  Weight wise, I am gaining much faster than I did with Lily and although it is a relative concern, I also feel like this could possibly be my last pregnancy and why not enjoy eating the odd indulgence while I'm getting fat anyway!  So I'm not going to stress too much and just let nature take its course.  I'm now off to wolf down some lunch!
