Today was a very exciting day! It started off with our 20 week doctor's appointment! We met the 2nd of three Doctors in the Practice, Dr. Zhou. She was great!! And...we were able to hear the baby's heartbeat -- it has gotten so much stronger since the last time!!
About the same time that we were at our doctor's appointment, my dad was getting prepped for his surgery at Kaiser in Hayward! He finally had that big "Hunchback of Notre Dame" lump removed from his back! I think he was afraid his grandchild would think he was SCARY with that monster lump on his back -- ha ha ha!! Dad was released around 12 noon and went straight to Denny's to have a Senior omelet...and of course a Diet Pepsi :)
After our morning appointment, I headed up to Crate & Barrel in San Francisco where Giada De Laurentis was doing a book signing! I was lucky and ended up being about the 15th person in line! woohoo! It was GREAT to meet her!! She is also pregnant, so we "talked shop" for the little time I had in front of her :) She's so cute and little in person!! For those of you who don't know who Giada is, she's the host of Everyday Italian and Giada's Weekend Getaways on the Food Network. So exciting!!
We weren't allowed to take pictures with her (couldn't slow down the book signing line!!), but we were allowed to take pictures of her after we were through the line...AND...last but certainly not least, we had our ultrasound appointment today!! I drank about 3 gulps of Guava nectar before we went into the women's center...and sheesh was Baby ever so active!!! He was quite a squirmy little worm in there -- even the ultrasound technician, Rachel made a comment about how active he was.
Yes...we found out the sex of the baby -- he wasn't shy!!!
WE ARE HAVING A BABY BOY!!!!!
Here's his heart --
See the 4 chambers???
See the 4 chambers???And...here are his little fingers... 
Last, but NOT least... 
Boy Parts!! Hee hee!!!
Boy Parts!! Hee hee!!!We are so excited!!! There was only one setback...the baby's room will have to be repainted, as right now it is a fabulous Martha Stewart shade of "lustreware", aka pinkish-lilac!!!
That's it for now! What an exhausting day!!!!

Hi Brandon & Michelle - Thanks for posting the baby's ultrasound pictures. I will put them on my picture keychain and carry them around with me (should anyone want to see them). Keep the blod entries coming ... they are so much fun.
Love,
MOM
uh - gee thanks for mentioning my Quasimodo deformity and my penchant for Sr omelets - makes me sound old, decrepit, and cheap!
