Here he is at 18.5 weeks old. We admit, these pictures are a bit creepy looking but it was amazing to see him moving around on the screen. I took these picture of the sonograms with my camera which is why they are a bit grainy. The baby looked great and measured as he should be and was really active during the ultrasound. I was just told to limit my activity level until my next appointment due to the early contractions I am having and some other issue with the placenta location. Hopefully if I do this, everything will resolve itself and I will be given the Ok to resume my normal routine. It has been a bit difficult trying not to pick Maddie up and she has started throwing mini tantrums when I try to walk her holding hands out of a room when she is getting into things. It is surely a lot easier to just pick up her up and tote her to where she needs to be!
Anyway, I feel the baby moving a lot now and he seems to be even more active in there than Maddie was! Each movement is such a blessing to feel for with each movement I have a reminder that he is doing well and I am so thankful. We are so excited to be having a boy... especially Ben. He was just beaming once the Dr. said what it was and couldn't wipe the grin off his face.
Thank you go everyone for your prayers for our baby boy. He seems to be doing quite well!
