Specialist

So I went to the specialist and got nothing but good news today. I am so blessed! As soon as the doctor turned on the machine, she asked, "Did your doctor tell you this is a boy? Because it is! He is very proud of it!" She took some images of it so I could show Francis. They get much clearer images when the screen is the size of a wall.

I got to see all of William's insides including his brain, stomach, kidneys, lungs, and many different bones. I even got to see up his nostrils and look at the formation of his lips! It was crazy. Anyway, they did all the measurements, and everything came up normal and healthy. His brain is very developed, his heart valves are all fully functional, and his spine is completely closed (no holes). He weighs 13 oz. Overall she said, "He is perfectly healthy and perfectly active." And boy was he! William did not stop moving the entire time I was there. She kept having to chase him to get measurements. She called him a clown because for a long while, he was holding his foot in his hand and rolling over and over. Both my OBGYN and the specialist have said he is very active. This boy's gonna be a mover and a shaker! I am glad he is entertaining himself though.

The coolest thing for me was that when he moved on the screen, I could feel him move in my stomach. I haven't had that experience before. I would see him kick on the sonogram and feel it in my belly. How cool is that??? It was an experience I will remember.

Now I just have to hold on for 19 more weeks until I get to see this kid in flesh and blood. Take your time, William, but mommy wants to see you!
