    Second Ultrasound

    My Second Ultrasound This week we went in for a second ultrasound. I was about 24 and a half weeks (reached the point of viability, yey!). Everything looked good, even though we had a grossly inept ultrasound tech. She wouldn’t record the pictures on the cd or dvd we were *told* to bring, took forever to get the measurements that the last tech did in a few minutes, and printed us a measly two pictures that are horribly out of focus. Oh well, at least we only have to wait 15 more weeks before we get to see him in…

    Our Baby’s Layette So Far

    Organizing Our Layette Today I went through our pile of baby things, and decided to catalog them to see what we have so far. I took pictures of everything, which are posted below. (Thanks to Mom, Melissa and Katie for their wonderful contributions to the ‘stash’!) I’m also going to post our two baby registries here.

    Ultrasound Pictures

Our tech gave us four different ‘poses’ as printouts, even though she did take some other cute pictures of the feet and him sitting indian-style. Next time (if there is one) I’m going to bring a CD and hopefully get copies of all the bunch of shots. I’ve put up pictures plain so you can get the whole view, and then pictures with my little anatomy notes attached so you know what it is you’re looking at. Enjoy!

    Big Reveal: Is it a Boy or a Girl?

    Today I went to see our baby for its very first photo shoot! Pretty exciting, a little uncomfortable and vastly rewarding. Right off the bat we were told, and shown, that our little bundle is a BOY! Everything else looked good, HE’s measuring right on track and according to all the girls in the ultrasound department, is an extremely cute baby. 🙂 So, now I can start planning with more confidence, buying clothes and picking out colored stuff. And of course… deciding on a name. I had the perfect girl’s name picked out… Aurora Concetta. But, I have no boys…
