Ladies and gentlemen...

Wow, how exciting.  The ultrasound this morning was amazing - the last time we had one was at 9 weeks so you can imagine how much has changed since then.  At 9 weeks his legs & arms were just forming, but enough that I could see them moving around, and now at almost 19 weeks we were able to see everything about our little guy... his kidneys, organs, heart, bones, fingers, toes, heart, brain, spine, etc.  I have heard it said a million times how having a baby is such a miracle, but that is definitely something you never understand until you're there and experiencing it.  It is truly a miracle.  God is soooo good!

Baby is doing good and measuring right on track, a few days early but nothing huge.  My new due date is February 18, but that seems to change everytime I go in.  :)  My placenta is measuring thin so I have to go get an ultrasound every 4 weeks to monitor that and make sure it doesn't get too thin.  If it does, I'd be put on bed rest.  It is supposed to measure over 2 inches thick and mine is measuring at 1.25 inches, so they are watching it and we'll see how I am at the next appointment.  Other than that - all is well!  Baby is great and did so well while we were there, he laid still so we could get all of his measurements and then once she tried getting a profile shot, he was being a little booger and running from her.  Taking after his daddy already... hehe ;)  Just kidding.

Here's a few pics!

Looking at us! 

The money shot!  (He is going to kill me someday for posting this online!  Oh well.)


My first baby purchase!  I can't wait to wrap my little guy in this... it is sooo soft!  It says "Thank Heaven for little boys".

Thanks for all the prayers and support!  We are super excited and feeling so blessed.
