Looking Good...and Healthy!

Hello family and friends! We went to the doctor today and our little guy is 100% healthy and growing like crazy! He weighs in at 2 lbs. 2 oz. according to his measurements, and of course his legs and arms measure longer than average. He has Tinker blood through and through!

From the profile on the sonogram, I think he will look like his daddy. His heartbeat is 148 beats per minute, which is very healthy. It is so amazing what they can tell you and measure, etc. with the technology available today. For all my al natural loved ones, I am sorry to overwhelm you with stats and technology, but Jonathan and I are truly kids of the technical generation and we love it!

The baby is very active, moving around, practicing his suckling which will help him prepare to eat when he arrives. He is definitely a he - everything is forming and dropping where it is supposed to be if you know what I mean :-) At this stage - 26 1/2 weeks, they also check for any abnormalities with the heart, spine, facial features, and praise God he looks perfectly healthy! I am not sure if there is any better feeling when you are pregnant than hearing those words. They showed me all 4 chambers of his little heart and they appear to be forming perfectly, as do his kidneys and stomach and other organs. His spine is the most visible part of what you can see and it is tapering to a point, which is what they want it to do. They even check for a cleft lip, which he does not have.

Well, I know that's a lot of information, but it was an exciting visit. Now, the scary part....only 13 1/2 more weeks til this little man arrives!! Thank you all for continuing to pray for our guidance and grace as we prepare to be parents!

Lots of love,

Jonathan and Christina
