Today we are 17 weeks and 5 days pregnant! We had our anatomy ultrasound this afternoon, and we have a very stubborn little BOY on our hands! (Definitely his father’s son) Baby Boy Brewton was laying on his tummy the whole time and did not want to show us the “goods” at all. We were able to get a lot of pictures of his spine and of his head, and some of his organs and after about 10 minutes he gave us a little peak of his parts, and he is for sure a boy! The ultrasound tech took all sorts of measurements and let us know that the baby is about 7 oz which is right on track and I am measuring 17 weeks 6 days pregnant which is also right on!
Of course I was nervous and anxious going into my appointment again, but they didn’t do my weight or my blood pressure this time so I don’t know what it was. However, because the baby was on his belly the whole time the ultrasound tech wasn’t able to get all of the pictures/measurements she needed so I have to go back next Monday for another ultrasound. (Oh Darn, I have to see the baby again!!!) The ultrasound tech had a concern about the baby’s kidneys, so the Dr. checked the pictures and measurements and seemed to think the measurements of the organs were in the “normal” range but they want to check again and get some more pictures of the heart and other organs. So……here I go getting nervous all over again! I can’t wait for the day when I can be calm going into the Doctor’s office. Hopefully everything checks out alright next week and Baby Brewton cooperates for us!!! Either way, we’ve got lots of people praying for a healthy baby, and I’m excited to see him again!
