The latest from Baby D...

We had our latest ultrasound last week Friday. Beth and I were both excited to get to see our little man again. The overall visit was pretty short - always a good thing! Dr. Ruedrich basically looked over everything and pronounced it good. We could see Baby D's legs, plus his heart beating, and his chest rising and falling. The Dr. pointed out that, even though babies get their oxygen through the umbilical cord, they will "practice" using their lungs by breathing the amniotic fluid in and out.


Dr. Ruedrich confirmed again for us that Baby D is, in fact, a boy. And just to eliminate any doubt, he labeled the photo.

He also managed to get a couple mug shots of Baby D. You can see many of his facial features.

Our little man just keeps getting bigger and bigger! Beth took her sisters Kate and Abbey to her non-stress test this morning so they could hear his heart beating. And now, whenever he moves, you can see it on Beth's tummy. Another month and a half, buddy!
