Sonogram Pictures

Many of you have most likely seen these pictures, but for those of you who haven't, I'm glad you are now! These were taken October 28th, 2009, he was about 20 weeks old and weighed about 13 ounces. It was very exciting being able to see him and find out that we are having a son! We soon found out that he is camera shy as well. The ultrasound tech was able to tell us that everything about him looked great! She was 90% sure, right off the bat, that our baby was a boy... until he decided to turn just right and then we were all 100% sure. :) It didn't take her long to check everything, but we still didn't leave until nearly an hour later. She was very determined to get a good profile pic of his face for us, but he just wasn't having it! I had started out on my back, so she suggested I lay on my side. First the left, then the right, then I even stood! And he still wouldn't give us a good shot! So, a little walk to the bathroom was the trick! He finally came around and that is was you see here!

It was amazing to see him move, his heart beat and just to see something resembling a baby aside from the little belly I had. And so after all the hard work he did, he showed us a big yawn and then stuck his thumb in his mouth!

It was all very precious.

Today he is about 23 weeks old and according to the books, he should weigh about a pound, if not a little more. Every day I can feel him kicking more and more. Some of us joke that he's the ninja baby, and others have joked that he's the next Chuck Norris! Ah!

Either way, it's been very comforting to know that he's alive and well, and strong!
