And… we’re having a boy!! We’re absolutely thrilled!! Even more importantly, the baby looks very healthy – literally every single measurement taken was smack-dab on the 50th percentile for our due date. Woohoo!! It turns out that there is a human boy in Maggie’s belly!
Week 20: Your belly is now the size of a major landmark?
