The Baby's Room

As promised, here are a few pictures of the baby's room. The lighting is pretty bad, but you get the general idea. I've been getting many requests for pictures so...enjoy!

33 Weeks

We had what we thought would be our last ultrasound today to check the baby's head and kidneys. All of that seemed to check out fine, but as we suspected, he's running on the big side. The ultrasound estimated that he weighs about 6lb. 6oz. based on his measurements, which is more like a 36 week old. We have to go back for another ultrasound in 3 weeks to check his size again. Here's a few pics of him at just about 33 weeks.

Baby Shower

Last weekend we had our baby shower. It was great to see a lot of family that we haven't seen in quite some time. My mom & sister did a great job with the shower. The baby got so many presents. It's crazy how someone so small needs so much stuff! Needless to say, we appreciate everything that everyone has done for us. We're grateful to have such generous friends and family and anxious to meet our little boy!

It's a boy!!

We had another ultrasound today to check for any signs of Dandy Walker Syndrome (the problem Devin had) and to determine the baby's gender. I had a feeling that it's a boy and turned out to be right. We've been referring to it as a boy for quite some time now so it's a good thing we weren't wrong. So far the baby appears to be developing normally. We'll have another ultrasound to follow up around 32 weeks.

Another peek at the little one

The doctor suggested we have a consult with a high risk doctor due to a problem Devin had in utero. They tried to do some genetic testing, but the baby was already too big. Basically we just had another ultrasound.

The baby is about 14 weeks here. You can see the brain and spine pretty well.

This is one of my favorites. Just the feet!

We're having a baby!

We finally had our first doctor's appointment and our first look at our little one. It seems so real now. She took a bunch of pictures but the baby was so active that a lot of them were blurry. These are the best two.
