Half way there!



Our first 3D image where you can kind of see what he's starting to look like!


We are passed the halfway mark for this little one! Our 19 week ultrasound showed our little man measuring 19 weeks, 4 days and weighing in at a large 11 ounces! They did a very thorough exam this time and spent a great deal of time checking out his little four-chambered heart (beating at 147 beats per minute) for any sign of defects, and all looks great! His brain is developing nicely and we got to see fluid in his stomach and bladder this time, showing his esophagus and kidneys are in full functioning order! :) He also was very cooperative and let us see he is, for sure, a little boy! Check out those chunky thighs!!



My mother and sister were in town to watch this ultrasound and meet our wonderful doctor! Elisabeth's favorite picture are his little 1 inch feet - definitely Beer feet!! So cute!




His bones are getting stronger and his little finger bones show up nice and bright! Check out the "hello" hand!

And, finally, we have a great 3D image of his little legs. I love how you can already see the thigh muscle coming up from his teeny knees :) You can see the cord in this one and the tech described him as "jumping rope" with it! Ha!


So, things are definitely progressing and we are getting really excited! We still can't agree on any names so far, any suggestions? :) Happy Easter!

I love the hand! Wow! The 3-D image looks like an Italian sculpture. Hope you're feeling fine and gaining the necessary weight.
