Week 20- 21 March Break, 2nd Ultrasound and Crazy Baby

We just finished our March Break; we decided to stay local and get a lot of things done around the house. We completely organized and cleaned out the baby's room. We have decided to get our friend Ann Marie to paint one wall with a page from Dr. Seuss' "Oh the places you'll go".  I'm very excited to see what it will look like when the room is finished.
My wife was sick during the break, so it was good that we didn't go anywhere. She was stuffed up and weak. It was nice to just relax and go at a slow pace for her to get back to her healthy self. The only problem is I am now sick. That's right, my wonderful wife has made me sick, while back at work.
We had our second ultrasound this week. It was amazing being able to see all the facial features, the spine, fingers and toes. It's amazing what technology we have today and how it makes this whole process so exciting. I was fixated on trying to see or not see our baby's penis. At one point I thought that I didn't see anything where the penis would be and then two minutes I thought I saw a little worm. So, after examining the ultrasound screen for the five minutes I still have no clue if our baby has an extra limb or doesn't.
The only unfortunate thing is that our baby may be the next horror movie star. The pictures looked amazing until you reach the last one.   However you look at the image it appears like we are having something that may not be human.

We went to the bank to start saving for the future and the next year, while my wife is off taking care of our little one.  This is a great feeling because hopefully we will be ready for her maternity leave when it comes.
