Baby's first head shots!

Today was our 5th ultrasound! Everything looked good and our doctor snapped several head shots for us. In the below pictures you can see the face and hand. Apparently our baby is going to be a lover, he kept kissing his hand. During the ultrasound the baby was yawning. It was amazing to watch his mouth open and close!

"Let's call him Studley"

Yesterday we had a fetal cardioechogram performed to evaluate the baby's heart. Everything looked good and the doctor called the pictures "beautiful" and said that the baby was a "good boy" and "cooperative". Although he had us worried, fortunately, our baby boy appears to have a strong and healthy heart!

During the above procedure we were given a clear shot of the very large third leg. The doctor said there is no doubt that we are having a boy. She asked if we had a name picked out yet and we told her we didn't. She said "let's call him Studley" of course based on his studley, manly parts. Ben was so proud and wanted to ask for a measurement, but contained himself. Below is a picture of the goods. It's a close up, so you won't be able to see the chest/head area, just the lower section.

5 months 2 weeks and 1 day...

My boss gave me this great idea to start a blog that documents our baby's progress! She shared with me one of her friends blogs, who is doing the same, and I agreed that it was a wonderful idea. Since all of our family is out of town, this should be a good way for you to check in, at your convienence, for updates and photos of the pumpkin currently growing inside me!

We are just past the half way mark and I am feeling great! Below is the most recent sonogram pictures taken 3 weeks ago. In the top picture you can see the profile of the baby! Very exciting! I'll try to update the blog weekly with pictures and videos!
