Follow-up Appointment...

We had our follow-up Ultrasound today. This appointment was scheduled so the doctors could get a good look at his spine. And what kind of Mother would I be if I didn't let the doctor check over my son??

It was a very quick appointment - easy in & out. Alexander was cooperative so that certainly helped. The technician was able to get great shots of the spine almost immediately. She then poked around some more for additional measurements, which she joked saying that it never hurts to get another look at your baby. Of course, I agreed!

My mom went with me since Dan had to work and she seemed in awe, especially when we were watching the heart beat. It was cool for her to be able to see him.

The technician asked if we knew the sex and I said "yes, he's a boy" and she moved the wand a bit and said "yup, there's your extra confirmation right there" and she showed us between his legs again. So if I had any before (which I didn't), I have NO doubts now - he's definitely a boy.
She poked around some more and took more measurements. She said he's doing extremely well and his measurements look excellent. His heartrate was 146 bpm so he's right on track.

I'll add the latest pictures when I get home tonight. But all is well - and we have our next appointment with the doctor next week so I imagine she'll go over the ultrasound details with us.
