26 Weeks and Counting!

So this week was fun! Saturday, Sunday and Monday we were in TN. Tuesday and Wednesday were normal work days but Thursday was big! Thursday we went to Virginia College to get an ultrasound. They are free and last about 30 minutes long. I ended up getting 2 back to back b/c they had several women not show up and they were short babies. I had a total of 3 techs looking at our baby and all 3 did confirm the Gender to be a BOY. So that is always comforting. The machines they use are not as good of quality as in the hospital but it was free right! I ended up with 5 pictures and I will try to explain what they are.

This first one is his beautiful profile!

This one is a little harder to explain. To the far left is the round belly. In the dark area in the center to the right is actually the Chin, Mouth and Nose, with his fists covering his eyes. When I scanned this one I lost some of the dimension that made it easier to see.

This is his foot with 5 toes! Always good to have 5 of those little piggies.

To the left you see an A printed on the picture that begins his femur...she was measuring it. He stretched out his legs for us and they looked amazing! He has very meaty legs!

This picture is labeled as the heart, but if you are not used to these pictures you might not can see it. In the center of the picture there is what looks like a butterly with its weeks spread out. That is showing the 4 chambers of the heart. If the picture was a video then you could see the valves in the middle moving and the beating of the heart. Super cool!

So that is our precious baby boy at 26 weeks gestation! He looks wonderful!

My picture:

Yes the Nursery has been filled back up at this point. We had company over on Saturday and we had find a place for all of this stuff other than the dinning room table. I think our schedule has lightened up a little bit for a while so we should be able to focus on getting things ready!
