Follow-up Sonogram & Monthly Dr. Appt.

As a family, we went to the Dr. today for our 5 month prenatal appt. First, we saw the sonogram tech. for our follow-up sonogram as the baby's heart was developed enough to take a good look at. Everything on the sonogram looked perfect! Things that looked perfect were - 4 chambered heart, facial structure/no cleft pallete, brain/cerebullum, 2 arms/hands, 2 legs/feet, all bone measurements. He - yes, it's still a boy! - is measuring 22 weeks 5 days along, weighs 1 pound 3oz, and had a heartbeat of 143bpm. He is a healthy growing baby. He was very active in there. A couple times the tech. had to chase him around to get the needed measurements or just waited some of his big movements out. For the most part, he had his hands up beside his face or under his chin and the legs were just kicking. We got to see his hands open and close and see him scratch his head. There was one time that Ryane was getting restless and let out a whine and he definitely reacted to his sister's voice - pretty cute. The sonogram tech was very generous in giving us photos, which I loved. I picked out my five favorites to scrap a page with. Couple other items the sonogram mentioned is she compared his nose to Ryane's as they look the same and she asked if Ryane was a really active baby as well. Yep, she sure was inside and out!

Onto the doctor's appt. First, I had to get weighed and ummm, it was a bit much, but the nurse or doctor didn't say anything, so I wasn't going to either! I will say that I am now above my pre-pregnancy weight from Ryane. Since today's sonogram was giving us a different due date than we've had before, we discussed estimated due date with Dr. Waite again. She officially changed/finalized it to be June 30th now, which matches up with our very first sonogram back in December. By the sonogram today, he measured June 27th, so we'll see when he decides to join us. Overall our visit with the Dr. was short as the Dr. was sick and didn't want to touch me and give me her sickness--fine by me! We had a few questions that she answered and we'll go back next month for our next appt.

I cheated on this digi-scrap page as I scanned in maternity paper that I had left from Ryane's scrapbook and created the rest on my own.
