The Color Blue

Well we had our 19 week anatomy exam check-up. All went well and the doctor was able to get good measurements . I thought I was at work the way the doctor was throwing out inches and diameters. The baby was measuring one day ahead of the target day so that was good to hear that we are right on schedule. As we were looking at the kidneys it became evident that we had a baby boy on our hands. No good pictures it was a quick flash but there are plenty more doctors visits for that.

Heart Beat

Here is the first recorded sound of the baby's heartbeat. It is still a STRONG 156 beats per minute.

Preparing for Future Embarrassments

Well for the first time in a long time I got dressed up for Halloween. Kristi said I need to get used to doing these type of things with/for our kids. Not sure if it was a good thing or a bad thing but our costumes were such a hit (could it be a possible likeness) we were asked for many photo ops!

16 Week Follow Up Visit

Well, it has been 4 weeks since our last doctors visit and our baby is doing well. We didn’t get to have a sonogram this visit (guess we got spoiled from the first two visits) so no new pics to share. But since the baby’s heart rate is strong enough to hear now, the nurse used a small Doppler device to listen for the heartbeat...a strong 155 beats per minute! We should have much more news and new pictures to share after the next visit as that is the big half way point visit, 20 weeks!
