Ben and Maddie Come to See the Baby

Ben and Maddie came with us today to my regular 20 week check-up for the pregnancy. Ben was interested in what is happening with the baby, so we thought why not. Maddie was mostly interested in opening every drawer and using the potty in the exam room. Oh well. Ben was excited to see the pictures and moved the chair around the room to get the best view of the TV screen. When he was settled, we waited about 30 minutes. I started seriously rethinking my good sense of bringing them... Eventually, the doctor come in. Ben got to turn off the light and he showed him the baby on the screen from the ultrasound on my belly. We think he liked it, but it was hard to tell. He seemed to be able to follow when we pointed out a head or a hand moving. Brian asked Ben if the baby had clothes on. He told Brian that I had told him that the baby didn't have a dresser to keep his clothes in, so he'd just have to wait to get clothes when it came out. Right now he is just naked. P.S. It's still a boy. We'll get a more final word at our big ultrasound on Wednesday.
