17 3/7 Weeks

So we had our appointment with our perinatalogist this afternoon. The appointment went great! He did our anatomical ultrasound and everything looked wonderful. The skeletal system was in place and well formed, and all of little baby's organs looked great and were where they were supposed to be. That was a great relief! He did confirm as well that this is ALL BOY! =)

We videotaped the ultrasound so we could share it with all of you. Unfortunately, it is proving harder than I thought to get it formatted for blogger. So while we figure that out, here's the rest of today's pictures.

Here are some still shots from today's ultrasound.

Baby has been measuring a couple of days behind the last few ultrasounds. Today I am 17 3/7 and baby was measuring 17 5/7! So he is bigger than he should be!! This is a really good sign that the medications I am on are only affecting me and not the baby! Keep up the prayers!

I took some more belly shots tonight! Baby is growing! At this point in time, I have officially gained 6lbs! Woohoo!!!

The baby keeps flipping around in there! Today his feet were right where I have been feeling all those popcorn sensations, so I am pretty sure that he has been kicking me.  =) I am feeling them multiple times per day now which is awesome. I can tell when he is sleeping and when he is awake and active. Its great!!

We are so very excited! It was great to see baby moving and see how much he has grown. We are so thankful to God that baby is healthy and growing along just like he should. Just like you, we are gearing up for Christmas around here. So the next post will probably be after the holiday. So the three of us would like to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas!!!!
