halfway cooked

My little peanut is halfway cooked today. Today marked the 20th week of my pregnancy and I still can't believe this little voroojak is living inside my belly. :) Although our little swimmer has been active and moving around a lot, still feels like a dream to me.
Today we had our anatomical ultrasound where they look at babies from head to toe and specially focus on heart, head, liver & kidney. First, I have to say this little peanut did not stay still not even a second. Poor ultrasound technician was running after the fetus to get good shots. At one point he said, such babies make the money I get for my job worth! :D Thank God looks like our little precious one is healthy. I was particularly nervous about the heart, since I read too many horror stories about babies and heart defects.
At the end we got to the gender determination, where the technician turn monitor around so I could see too. It turns out little peanut just like daddy likes to use leg separators. The umbilical cord was between the legs and we couldn't get a clear view of hoo-ha. :D We zoomed in and almost could see something bigger than a girl's part. So the technician said most likely it's a boy but he's not hundred percent sure. I always had a feeling it's a boy. We have an OB appointment on 21st so I'll ask Dr. Anderson to look between peanut's legs again. :D I am so excited though. Arash is getting a little buddy. We both cried during ultrasound.  It's hard to believe we multiplied and made a new Arash-Sepideh combo. Thank you thank you, God!
