23.5 Week Ultrasound

Jared and I had my 23.5 week ultrasound this morning.

Cervical length is still measuring nice and long, so doctor's are pleased. Baby Motherway is measuring 5-6 days ahead of schedule so in the 62% percentile for his age. Today he wasn't really cooperating with the ultrasound tech, apparently he is a bit camera shy. The tech even made the table I was lying in rotate so I was practically doing a headstand so the baby would move, and nothing. Today he had his legs and hands literally above his head as if he was kicking himself in the face, he is quite the gymnast. ;-)

After another doctor came in the room to look at things herself, she decided our little guy was doing the and I quote "Playgirl" pose for all of us today. We got quite the shot of his rear and frontal parts....it was pretty funny to hear a doctor say that, so gave Jared and I a good laugh today.

Anyway, all in all things are continuing to go very smoothly with this pregnancy and the baby. I continue to have no real complaints and am feeling great.

The confirmation that he is a boy continues....here is his "Playgirl" photo:

The only quick facial profile shot they could get today:


After our appointment today Jared and I made our way to Babies R' Us to register. That was quite the chore....I was pretty overwhelmed and wiped out afterwards. Honestly, being a new mom, I had no idea what all I was going to need. So if I left things off, I either have already been given that item or just plain forgot it or didn't know I needed it.
Our friends have blessed us with hand-me-down room decor and my Aunt has been gracious enough to make the bedding. Not to mention I have a friend who has given me several tubs of hand-me-down baby clothes and my sister in law is setting us up with hand-me-down baby clothes as well. I can't tell you all how much I appreciate your generosity!!! Thank you all so much!
