Baby Boy's First Picture

Our second ultrasound appointment with the high-risk OB went very well yesterday. We had a repeat scan due to a measurement being off at our 20 week anatomy scan. At that time, one of the kidneys had a borderline measurement - which could have been due to a myriad of things - or nothing at all.

Thankfully, there was no concern this go-round, and Baby Boy Long looks happy and healthy. Whatever measurement that was off had corrected itself, and his kidneys and all other major organs appear to be functioning well. The technician did have some trouble getting him to sit still - as soon as the wand was placed on my belly she said "woah - we have a wiggler in there!" No kidding lady, this kid keeps me up all hours of the night with his antics. Pray with me that he settles down after birth... :)

She did do the 4-D ultrasound after we asked - but due to his position, his size (being totally scrunched up), and his wiggling - it was hard for her to get a better shot than the one above. The scanned picture is more grainy than the one she printed out - but you get the idea. He looks so much like his big sister and brother - with the big Long forehead and little button nose. And the 4D ultrasound is so cool - we got to see him moving his mouth like he was sucking or chewing or swallowing. So freaking cool!

All in all, a great check-up - he is measuring right on at 31 weeks 4 days, in the 64%, and at a whopping 4 lbs. already.

We are so thankful. And so blessed. And so anxious to meet this little guy and learn his personality.
