We were able to see his face pretty clearly and wow, does he look just like his daddy. Baby had the hiccups the whole time so we could see his little body jump - so cute! The tech said baby looked like he was pouting and was definitely "showing off." It's funny that everytime we've had an ultrasound, the techs always say those exact words - "showing off." Guess we're in for a treat!
We also saw baby's heart, bladder, kidneys, etc. All systems are a go! Round belly and a big, round head.
Then, of course, we saw the feet and hands - both are big. But, baby's feet are enormous!!! Jared said he doubts he'll even be able to wear the cute little baby shoes he's been given. He has long skinny fingers that you can see in the picture where he's waving at us!
After all the measurements and viewing, the tech estimates his weight at 6 pounds, 10 ounces. Oh my goodness! That's a lot already and if he grows 1/2 a pound a week for another 4 weeks that's almost a 9 pound baby. Can you say ouch?!
After a cervical check, it looks like it's going to still be a while because I'm still "long and thick." So, the doctor said it will likely be later than sooner. That's okay because I'm still feeling really good and not having any problems (other than my swollen, ogre foot). Even the numb, swollen hands aren't as bad as they used to be.
All in all, it was another great day of pregnancy! Jared and I are still so excited to meet our little man, but are content with waiting another few weeks to see him.
Next doctor's appointment: Tuesday, September 2nd.
