20 Weeks Anatomy USG

I was scheduled for anatomy USG at Texas perinatal center. Since everything else looked normal, we skipped the amniocentesis and CVS which are highly recommended for women over 35. I really want to avoid it, so it was great relief to know that we don't need to do it.
I checked in at 2.45pm did the paperwork and waited for our turn.

At 3.30pm they called us in. The operator came in and prepared everything. 10 minutes later a doctor came in and did the ultrasound. He ran the probe around my belly, sometimes he shook my belly to get a better look at the baby. He checked on every organ of the baby while explaining to us what we were looking at and what we expect.

The result was excellent! Our baby weighed about 14oz and 7.5 inches in length which was above the average size. Average size of baby at the same age is 11oz and 6.5 inches. Every part of his/her organ and body part was normal and is functioning well. We're having a healthy baby!
