We had our third ultrasound this last Friday. The Hulk is growing right on schedule – he’s up to a whopping 2lb 7oz now. I assure you that he’s stretching everyday – the kicks and punches are now accompanied by a double stretch he likes – I feel pressure on both sides (up and down or left and right) simultaneously. He’s also been moving slower across my belly and started using knees and elbows, just to keep me on my toes – it’s quite the circus act to watch each night. Everything else looks great – lungs, heart, blood flow to him, fluid in there, etc…. the ultrasound tech and midwife had nothing but good to say about how everything is progressing with The Hulk and I, which is GREAT news for us. Mom is in town visiting for a few weeks, so she got to accompany us to the ultrasound, though she hasn’t been able to see much of the ‘circus’ at night – this little guy gets very shy around new people apparently.
Mom and Jen were nice enough to throw us a family baby shower this last weekend. It was complete with frogs and ducks aplenty. We had a great time and received a pile of wonderful gifts. Unfortunately our camera batteries went out almost as soon as we got there, but Lehr's mom was nice enough to take (and forward) a few pictures for us.
