Speaking of Tiffany (and her wonderful husband David), she had a 3d ultrasound done when she was pregnant with Baby Dave and they loved it. In the 3d ultrasound, you can find out the sex of the baby as early as 16 weeks! We had already decided that the adults weren't going to exchange gifts this year--just the kids. So her and David treated us to the ultrasound under the "it's the baby's Christmas gift not yours" clause. We were beyond excited. We thought it would still be weeks or months until we would know if we needed to buy pink or blue and now we only had days to wait??
Here are some pics from our morning at First Glimpse at 16 weeks, 5 days:
Just in case you missed it, IT'S A...BOY! (hence, I am officially outnumbered...but totally happy about it) We were sooo thrilled to hear it is a boy because from the first ultrasound at 6 weeks, his strong heartbeat just made us think boy. Besides, we had this bad habit of referring to the baby as a boy from the very beginning, and were worried if it were a girl she would have a complex about having been called a boy for so long. The ultrasound tech kept us waiting for a little while because her rule of thumb is she has to see "the parts" 3 times before she confirms the sex. As far as baby Jenks goes, everything looks great! He is approx. 6 inches long and he weighs 7 ounces. His heart rate is 148 bpm, which is right on track. All of his measurements are looking wonderful! To make it even better, both Tom's parents and my parents were able to be there along with my sister and her family and my good friend Leah.
I thought it was cute when Tom asked the ultrasound tech how much one of the machines would cost us, but his excitement quickly faded when he found out that it was like taking out a mortgage but having to pay it all back in three years instead of thirty. I think he would have me hooked up to one of those machines all day if he had his way. (That would be fun to be able to see baby whenever we wanted! hmm....)
So I will leave you this evening with a more current belly picture. Here's what I have to show at 18 weeks, 3 days:
Awe...what a cute little belly!! Now you need to post every Monday night with your weekly belly pics so I can see how much you're changing each week.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Tiffany, we want more belly shots! By that I mean pics! You are one adorable pregnant girl!
