Today we had the opportunity to see our Little Man in action! At 32 weeks, Raschelle's doctor wanted a growth ultrasound! This ultrasound was unusually cool! Said baby, we are keeping his name private until birth, was extremly active! He was rolling and punching and kicking! He stuck his tongue out a few times, puckered his lips and we had the joy of watching him take a few practice breaths! Babies dont have to breathe until they are born because they receive their oxygen thru mommies placenta....so to witness a few breaths is pretty spectacular! He swallowed a few times too!
He is weighing in at 3lbs and 4oz, which is perfect for his growth! We didnt see the massive Myrick forehead that Ella was blessed with, and he has mommies big ol' chubby cheeks! Raschelle's blood pressure has been fabulous this pregnancy and the doctors said they are pretty certain that delivery will be around 39 weeks. She has to have a repeat c-section unless something miraculous happens! So we are looking to have little man here at the end of May begining of June! But, babies come when they are ready, so we are patiently awaiting!
Here are two pictures! They arent too clear, but little man was a bit too low to get a good picture of his face!
Look at that sweet chubby face!!! He opened his eyes a few times and blinked!
He looks like he is blowing bubbles but that is the umbilical cord! Love his little nose!
