Bluigirl Biz...: Baby Benson, 18 weeks, 1 day

Hi everyone! I went this morning for a check-up and had an ultra sound in which they checked the complete anatomy of Baby Benson! All looks perfect and Baby Benson is growing just as he/she should...and I couldn't believe that I had only gained 1 lb...I knew for sure that it was more but I'm definitely not complaining...LOL! The heart rate was 142 and he/she weighs 7 ounces. As most of you know...we could have found out the sex of the baby...well...I wanted to BUT Kevin didn't so we didn't BUT...she did seal it in an envelope so that if later on we decided that we wanted to know, we could know...all we will have to do is open the envelope! Attached are some ultra sound pics...he/she was a little stubborn today, didn't want to show us his face (a little shy maybe) but once the ultra sound tech played with he/she a bit, she managed to get Baby Benson to turn where she wanted and got a few good pics. He/she likes to be balled up with hands around the face...she even caught Baby Benson yawning a few times:-) We'll go back in a month...will keep y'all posted! NOW AS I TYPE, KEVIN IS BEHIND ME GOING "LET'S OPEN IT AND SEE" so....you all may be getting another update sooner than later...LOL!

Open wide!

Look at that yawn!

All balled up just as I'd like to be sleeping (on my stomach)...LOL...that's one reason we had a hard time getting a pic, he/she wanted to show us his backside...LOL!

Hands on the face...

And a foot with the toes:-)

Donielle said...: I love those pictures! They sure are different from the regular ones I had. The yawn picture is great! I wouldn't be able to handle having the sex written in an envelope, and keep it a secret. I totally loved not finding out, but if it was written somewhere that I was able to get my hands on, I'm SURE I would have found out!!; February 5, 2009 at 9:25 PM
