We had our 19 week ultrasound. Say Hi!
We were able to breathe a little bit easier as time went on and they did not find anything out of the ordinary. The heart looked good, the stomach and bladder looked good, the spine and head looked good, etc.
We go in on January 6th for a more in-depth look at the heart since it is so tiny right now, so we would appreciate prayers that the detailed scan would also show nothing of interest.
Does this mean we won’t get any big surprises come the end of April? No. There is still a chance that our child will have Down Syndrome (or some other disorder, however unlikely), but at least we know it will most likely be a healthy baby.
Things to note:
Heart Rate – 153
Approximate weight – 13oz (is this right? If it is, we’re on track to have a giant baby! Eeep!)
This baby is stubborn.
The baby was facing downward and absolutely refused to turn over no matter how many times the ultrasound tech tilted the table or bounced the detector on my belly, which made getting good pictures difficult.
The baby was not, however, shy about revealing its gender. But we’re going to keep you in suspense a little bit longer. To keep things “fair”, I want to give everyone who wants to a chance to enter our guessing game without adding bias.
To enter the game go to:

Once there, you can enter a guess by clicking on the “Enter a Guess” button on the upper right side of the page. Don’t worry, you don’t need to register or enter any account information to make a guess.
Cheers to everyone and have a great weekend!
