19 Weeks and Growing!


Today was a fun 19 week ultrasound visit! This was "the big one" to determine the baby's gender and go over everything to make sure the baby is growing on target. The ultrasound tech measured all of it's bones, his orbits, diaphragm, cerebral cavities, etc. When she measured the baby's thigh bone it was 2 and 1/2 inches! So tiny! According to The Bump, Baby Diff is the size of a mango. It was crazy to see this perfect baby, but so tiny! He or she has perfect bone development and so far, it's head size is right on target! Chad was worried that our baby might have a larger head than normal! :) We have lots of photos from this visit.

The baby is currently in a breech position but the tech told us that he or she has plenty of time to move around and get into the right position. In fact, she said that the baby was a little to small to see some of the things she needed to see, so while this was suppose to be our last ultrasound we will have another one scheduled after our appointment with Doctor Morris on October 21st. The tech should be able to see the rest of what she needs to verify, including gender. Baby Diff wasn't willing to show his or her goods, so they don't know the gender yet either. So, it looks like he or she wants us to be surprised, at first we thought it might be stubbornness, but really he or she is just helping his or her mom and dad out!
