We went to the doctor again today for an ultrasound. My doctor was concerned that I wasn't as big as I should be and wanted to check on the baby to make sure he was growing properly. Of course we didn't complain about getting another peak at him!
The first picture at the doctor's office confirmed again that he is in fact a boy. (Sorry Jeff...I know you were really hoping it was just a girl making catcher signals). For the sake of his future modesty I have chosen not to post that picture.
As the pictures show, he again really liked to have his hand in front of his face. The technician kept prodding, trying to get him to move, but he wouldn't budge! It didn't help that he is already head down so it is harder to get him to move.
Unfortunately these two are the best look at his face, just to prove that he does have two eyes, a nose and lips. The good news is that despite my smaller than normal belly, he is a whopping 5 pounds and 13 ounces. That is huge (at least I think so considering he still has 5 weeks to go). Everything looked healthy and great, which is what we thought they would say anyway.
The other really cool thing about today was that we found out he has hair! Unfortunately the doctor declined to tell us what color it is, so we are going to have to wait a little longer for that.

Yeah for a healthy baby! I'm glad to hear everything is going well.
I wouldn't worry too much about your size Mel, I have always measured small too!
Excited about our boys! Not much longer now...
I got your call last night but I was asleep. I hate this Mel! The baby is so cute.Have you come up with a name yet?
Your pictures are so clear - I've never seen ultrasounds like that before (besides your other ones of course). So exciting and getting so close!
