My Visit with Brody Bear!

I had another appointment with the perinatalogist today, and it was really great! Brody is doing very well, although he is still measuring big! The majority of his measurements put him at 29 weeks and 1 day, but his head is putting him at 30 weeks and 1 day! Yikes! He better decide to come early, because at the rate we are going, he is going to be a very big baby!
My Perinatalogist also suggested to me that I switch OBs --- he said that he was not happy with the way she was communicating with me(or lack of communication, I should say)or himself, or the neurologist, and the fact that she is not getting things done and does not even want to listen to my birth plan. So I am - I am switching today and I have my first appointment with my new OB next week. Hopefully this works out a little better!

Brody: You've grown so much!

We're having a boy!!

Yesterday was one of the best days ... we went to our big ultrasound and found out we are going to have a boy. I can't even believe it. I grew up with 2 sisters, no boys in our house at all (well, besides my dad!), so this is a huge excitment not only for Corey and I, but for our families as well! The ultrasound tech asked us if we could tell the sex of the baby and we both knew it right away!

I was so happy I cried! (well to be honest, I probably would have been the exact same if they said its a girl!) Then they went on to check everything - and I mean everything. Heart,spine, lungs, bladder, kidneys, head, umbilical cord, stomach, and to make sure the bones were growing properly in the arms, legs, fingers and toes! Check to all of the above - Bun (or Baby B - we'll keep you guesssing for a bit!) looks great! First they did the sex, because he was in perfect posistion. Then they checked the heart. All 4 chambers,the aortic arch... looking great!


Then the spine!

Then the arms, legs, hands, and feet. These little feet and hands are so cute!


Then we got to look at his adorable little face!

and profile!

Wow, what a day! Then my parents took us out to dinner and Coreys parents joined us! They brought us the cutest gifts:
My parents got us the turtle from build a bear (we <3 turtles, and look at his shirt!) and Coreys parents got us the cute little clothes!

We had a great time at dinner. I am so glad our parents came out to celebrate this day with us! After dinner I was exhausted from the day, so much excitment :) And finally news that was all good! Our baby looks perfect, all the u/s nurse kept saying were things like: what a looker, wow the heart looks so great, what a pretty spine! It was awesome! Well I think I flooded my blog with enough pictures for one day... but I have to update with my 18 week belly pic!
