Congrats Maryjo!
Happy 20 weeks everyone! I love this day! I have my scan in 1.5 hours. I am so emotional thought today. I keep tearing up when I think of seeing my baby today, and being half way. I just feel so blessed im ooooozing with pregnancy hormones!
Now, im just nervous about the peeing thing! Idk why but im scared to have to hold it for this ultrasound that is like 45 minutes. I hate holding it and especially when they're pressing! EeeeK!

I know! THey say drink 3 full bottles of water one hour before scan. Are you joking me? If I did that I would be at my bursting point within 5 minutes. I am thinking one bottle will still be uncomfortable!

They want a full bladder so that it pushes against baby and you get better view of it! I remember with my daughter, I was so full to the max and the ultrasound is so long, I wondered at one point if I actually had peed already. LOL. Its tough!

I am happy to have a perfect little boy in there! But they didn't put me forward. Lol. wishful thinking. He is measuring like, to the day! Funny guy. All body parts are there, and they are how they should be. I was so scared to have a defect or something - I am just thrilled. How blessed I feel today! But phooey- my scan only took her 20 minutes because baby gave everything up that she needed to see so soon so didnt get a 40 minute one! Lol.

thanks everyone 
nypage, my scan wasn't very long either, the regular part of it was maybe 20mins. little boy was very co-operative for the sonographer!
as for the full bladder - I wasn't told I needed one, and as it happens I definitely didin't have one because I went to the loo beforehand. guess different scanning machines have different requirements? I needed to have drunk a pint of liquid before my 8 week scan though.
I also had my cervix measured today in an internal scan (and was told to go empty my bladder for that, I managed to squeeze out a couple of drops!). all was fine there, too, long and tightly closed, 34mm. so no risk for pre-term labour, thank goodness.
it all feels so much more real now. like before I was pregnant, ok, and having A BABY, ok. now this unknown baby is much more known to me! I know he is a boy, I have seen him a lot more than I already had... because I know he is a boy I can picture him in my family, picture my son with a baby brother - this is something I couldn't do before, just think of Adam with A LITTLE SIBLING, but now I know he's a boy I can get past tiny babyhood and think of them sharing a bedroom when they are older, playing football together, that sort of thing. It all feels so much like it's really happening. I felt this way last time, too, like the baby was some unknown entity and then it became my child, my little boy. it's really nice. I thought I'd be more disappointed about having another boy as we'd have liked a daughter, but other than a little pang, I feel fine and excited, and SO excited about my boy having a little brother. want to go shopping tomorrow and buy a little something for him, though. don't want to think that everything he has is a cast off.

Thanks! I got 2 feets, lol. Lady showed me 2 feet, 2 hands so appendages are in tact!
Anyone having any baby brain issues? I feel seriously like my head is just full of air. If even that!

our scan wasn't too great on wed. It has shown up some problems with our girlie. She had a very small AC & FL so we have to be regularly scanned to check her growth. They have said she is only on the 3rd centile... *but* me and my OH are only 5'1" so it could just be cuz we are small but time will tell to how she develops on the 2 weekly growth scans we will be having.
She is also showed to have an echogenic bowel so we are going in on wed to see the consultant to be scanned again in more detail and to both have blood tests to find out if we are carriers of cystic fibrosis.
WHAT A WEEK!
