Ultrasound!!!!!

This morning we headed off for my big ultrasound. The baby was very cooperative and there is no denying that we will be having another boy!!! He looks very healthy, which is what we were most concerned about. He is also measuring a week ahead now. Beside measuring ahead he is also just big. At 18 and a half weeks most babies weigh between 5 and 6 ounces. He is weighing it at 11 ounces right now - which is the average size of a 21 week old baby. So it looks like another big boy is on his way. The only concern was that my placenta is a little low. Most likely it will move up on his own, but I will be having another ultrasound near the beginning of the third trimester or so to make sure it has moved up. I will also most likely have yet another ultrasound towards the end to see how big this guy is. I will be seeing my doctor in about a week and a half where I will find out more, and to see if they will change my due date now or not. The boys are excited to have a brother (although Tyler's first reaction was "but I wanted a sister") and Justin and I are glad that we know whats coming to us!
