OK... here is our little boy!

Tim got the scanner working, so here is our baby! The first picture is a profile shot of the baby from the ultrasound on Wednesday.

We had to go back today for a follow-up ultrasound. They found last week that we have a two-vessel cord. Which means there is only one vein and one artery, as opposed to one vein and two arteries. Typically this can lead to a smaller birth weight baby, but so far our baby looks good. Dr. White referred us to a maternal-fetal specialist, just so they could take a look. Today the specialist told us the same thing that Dr. White said. All of the baby's organs look super healthy and he is growing at a normal weight. He had gained an ounce since last Wednesday! A two-vessel cord is not that uncommon, but they do like to keep an eye on him. So far, so good. We will have another ultrasound in December just to verify, but at this time there seems to be no reason to worry! Keep us all in your prayers!

The second picture is from the ultrasound today. The specialist has a high resolution ultrasound that they can kick over to 3D. Dr. White doesn't like to do 3D so early because babies don't have enough fat and sometimes they can look strange. This picture is of the baby's face. He is looking into the placenta. (that is what that big finger-like thing is) You can see that he has his hand on his face!!!!! HOW SWEET!!!!!
