baby morken #2

Today we had our ultrasound to make sure baby is developing correctly, everything is on date and to confirm the gender prediction test. Baby has developed to 19 weeks 2 days (I am 19 weeks 3 days), has all body parts and we got positive confirmation on the gender prediction test when we saw the legs spread and a hand down there (the ultrasound tech said "all boy"). Looks like Finn's going to have a little brother around December 22, 2009!

We took Finn with us to the visit and he sat quietly on Matthew's lap through the exam watching and saying "baby" every once in a while. We got a few pictures of his profile and of him sucking his thumb. He was sucking his thumb though with his 4 little fingers sticking up. We also saw his little feet and legs kicking. I learned that the placenta is posterior to him which is why I have been feeling movement since the end of week 14. With Finn his placenta was anterior so I didn't feel any movement until almost week 18. This scares me since I felt a lot of painful kicks in the last 2 months with Finn and now there's absolutely no padding to soften that blow!

We are so thankful and blessed to have another healthy checkup. I can't wait to meet our second little boy!

We're so excited that Finley will have a little brother to play with (and get into trouble with)! Congratulations!

Yea! All these boys will be so much fun! I have to say I was skeptical about the gender test but it was right! Are you feeling better?
