Baby Update

Update: New ultrasound and 35 wk pics at the end.

The c-section for baby #2 is scheduled for July 30th. I'm not 100% set on having a c-section, so I scheduled it the day before my due date and we'll see if I go into labor before then (and will decide from there).

It's a boy!

Dancing Machine

New video - I am breathing in it lol, but you can see him going crazy.

From Alexander Ray


Just like Alex, this baby is not a performer. Anytime I've tried to get him dancing on video, he stops moving. I did manage to get a few kicks on video though. Watch my belly button and just to the left of it. You'll see that I did need to press my belly on the right to get him to move, so ignore those huge tummy movements. The big kicks are at about 7 seconds and 21 seconds.





1st Ultrasound: 7 weeks

Here is an ultrasound picture from 7 weeks. The little blob on the right-side of the dark oval is the baby. The still picture isn't so exciting, but we could see the little heartbeat flickering on the monitor during.




2nd Ultrasound: 12.5 weeks


We also had an ultrasound at 12-13 weeks for some testing they now offer. Everything looked good. The baby wasn't moving his or her arms or legs but the whole body was jumping as if s/he had hiccups, but apparently it's too early for hiccups. Anyway, now it's more recognizable!




3nd Ultrasound: 20 weeks


We had the big ultrasound and everything for the most part, checked out perfect! Here's some fun pictures:


This one is kind of hard to picture at first. On the left, it says "LEGS" right above his feet. Then you can follow his legs to the bottom-right side of the picture to his bottom.


In this shot, there's the little arrow pointing to his little buttcheeks ;)


His feet:


For Alex: "Hi Big Brother"


A good profile shot with his hand up.

The money shot. LOL It's a boy.

36 Week growth check ultrasound: We had a growth ultrasound to check the little guy's weight. He's currently at 5-5.5 lbs. Books say that in these last weeks that babies gain about .5 pound per week, so that makes for about a 7 lb baby around 40 weeks. The ultrasound tech also said he has hair on head, so I think we have an Alex 2.0 in there!
As you can see we got a really cool pic of him playing "peek-a-boo." Take a look - pretty cool!
