17 1/2 week update

17 1/2 weeks


Hello Family! 
Here's a recent update of our little baby!  Not sure if you can see in the photo but its laying on its back and the profile of the face is on the right hand side of the photo. I included all the details of our visit below.

Hope everyone is doing well. 

We had a doctor appointment yesterday.  It was the "20 week" anatomy scan.  Basically they use an advanced sonogram machine to take a million pictures and measurements of all the organs.  Everything seems good, we didn't have a chance to speak with the Dr. as he had to run out for a delivery.  But we are hopeful all is well. 

The whole process was about an hour long.  It was moving and kicking around like crazy.  It was so rouchey, just like it's parents!  Our little baby is being stubborn already, it did NOT want to show is its face.  It's trying to keep it a surprise.  When it finally did we got to see the lips and eye sockets and nose profile. We saw ears, feet, hands (were in fists) and it kept touching it's face. 

We also got to see the 4 chamber heart up close and see all the blood flow in all different parts of the body.   The legs looked long to me, but we will see. 

We had to look away at one point as this is the scan where they can tell the sex of the baby, but we are not going to find out.  We want it to be a surprise! 

The baby weights 7 oz. now which they said is right on track. The photo they gave isn't that great, sorry. 


Love,
Lauren & Evan
