Finished week 20...on to week 21!

I've been so bad about updating each week on time - sorry!  I'm officially into week 21...hard to believe.  I had my 20 week ultrasound last week, which was absolutely amazing.  Sean and I were in awe over seeing our little one in action...it was very fun.  After getting all the necessary pictures they needed, the doctor said everything looked great!  He even zoomed in on the brain and said "what a beautiful brain"...that's a good thing!  It was tempting not finding out if it's a boy or girl, especially when both the doctor and technician said they knew what it was!  I'm glad we held strong though.  
I've felt the baby move a lot more lately...mostly in the evenings when I'm relaxing on the couch.  Sean is still waiting to feel.  Every time I feel it and he puts his hand there, baby decides to stop.  Hopefully he'll feel him/her soon!
Here's the update for week 21:
Your baby now weighs about three-quarters of a pound and is approximately 10 1/2 inches long —the length of a carrot. You may soon feel like she's practicing martial arts as her initial fluttering movements turn into full-fledged kicks and nudges. You may also discover a pattern to her activity as you get to know her better. In other developments, your baby's eyebrows and lids are present now, and if you're having a girl, her vagina has begun to form as well.
