As I foreshadowed in my last post, we have had a very exciting past two days of doctor's appointments. We saw Bernie last night for our normal OB appointment and had our ultrasound with Dr. Losure this morning to see how you are progressing. Both appointments went well and I'm here to tell you all about them!
Last night we went to see Bernie at 5:00. She talked to me for a long time to make sure everything was going well and then listened to my tummy to find your heartbeat. She found it right away and it is still going strong- it fluctuated between 148 and 143 beats per minute which was music to Mommy's ears. She told me that I needed to take it easy on lifting things like groceries and laundry, but otherwise everything looks good and that my uterus growth is great. I know that will probably sound weird to you when you eventually read this, but it makes Mommy excited that things are going well. :)
Today Tenley and I woke up around 7:30 and got ready to go to your ultrasound. Grandma Carol came to our house around 9:45 and we were on the road to the hospital by 10:00. Once we checked in, the ultrasound technician took us back to a little room and we finally got to see you! The tech showed us all of your body parts- your little hands, feet, nose, and eyes- and all of your organs. Your heartbeat was 138 beats per minute today and it was really neat to see your little heart fluttering in your chest. The tech said that all of your measurements look good and that you weigh one whole pound! The most exciting part was when she was looking around your legs and spied what we all know is the one thing that makes you a BOY! We are so excited for Tenley to have a little brother and can't wait to meet you!
After the tech was done taking pictures, Dr. Losure came to talk to me about you. He still has a few concerns about some things with you, so we will be going back to see him for another ultrasound in four weeks. Mommy feels better about everything after seeing both Bernie and Dr. Losure and I am looking forward to seeing you again next month. Until then, you just have to keep growing big and strong in there. Here are a few pictures from your ultrasound today- I love every little piece of you, Bean!
Here is a picture of what the tech called your "beautiful spine"
Here are your perfect little feet! I loved seeing these in person today and I can't wait to kiss them when I hold you!
This better be the only picture of your manhood that I ever see on the internet, young man!
Here is your backside :)
Last but not least, here is a picture of your little face. I love it already!
