A Small Update (On our not so small son)

We had two appointments today, the OB and the special case OB with an ultrasound. No new pictures as he wasn't in the best position to get a 3D picture but they got all of the measurements they needed. Sean is measuring at 35 weeks but is only 33 weeks in, which means he is a big boy. He is estimated to be around 5 lbs and is the picture of health. One of the more amazing things at this stage is being able to see all 4 chambers of the heart on the ultrasound. Really just incredible. He is head down in what the ultrasound tech called the "launch position" and kicking Helene with some real strength.

All is well and we are counting down the days.

A Little Heartbeat

I know, it has been a while since I posted. Many things kind of happened at once after we were in the hospital. Baby stuff started happening faster, a trip to Charlotte, basement was still flooding, had basement waterproofing done (which consisted of them jacking hammering the whole of the perimeter of our foundation and putting in a new drain system), etc...

Finally starting to see the light. The nursery is coming together (big thanks to Helene's family for the phenomenal paint job) and I will get pictures of that up soon. The drywall and framing that had to be pulled apart for the waterproofing job is getting fixed right now. New carpet for the basement should go in sometime in the next 2 weeks. Once we get there, we will rapidly get back to starting to feel like we have a normal life, which, within about 8 weeks, will include our brand new son.

Speaking of Sean. Wanted to post his latest ultrasound picture and a clip of his heartbeat. Both in the embedded YouTube video below. Enjoy!
