A Glimpse at our Baby Boy


This picture is about 2 weeks old (from June 10th). I had a later ultrasound because at 20 weeks I had marginal placenta previa (the placenta was touching the cervix a little). They had to recheck me to make sure it lifted up, which it did. So no C section for us unless something crazy happens. The technician was really nice and decided to take a peak with the 4D imaging, and this is what we saw: baby boy, front and center. You can totally see his eye, nose, mouth, and a little of his fingers in this one. Micah says he has the Shirts lips. Apparently it was a really good picture because everyone at the doctor's office was asking me to see it (I guess the babies don't usually cooperate so well). He weighed a little over 3 pounds and was measuring 10 days early...yeah for mommy! She said he had kind of a big head--a boy with lots of brains! We are very excited for his arrival in couple of months, but again will not be giving away any name ideas. We've got to keep you guessing at something!

Shannon, its absolutely amazing how you can see your little boy's face while he's still in your tummy!

It was nice seeing you guys at the park! I think the heat was causing Emma to be whiny, because she's fine now!

I figured out how to do the background and template change, so you need to check out my site. Its so cute!
