Reed Baker is on the way!!

"Baby Baker" is a BOY!! Josh and I are so excited and can't believe how blessed we are! I have had the best pregnancy and we found out yesterday that Reed looks perfect. Ultrasounds are amazing, I wish I could have one every day. Right now Reed is laying on his tummy and his head is up to the left side of my belly button and his feet are right down on my bladder (per the ultrasound technician, but this hasn't seemed to affect me to bad). It totally made sense seeing him in there because it is right where I had been feeling him the last couple of days. We were able to see all the parts of the brain, all four chambers of the heart, each arm and leg bone, two kidneys, a great view of his face and his nose and top lip look perfect and after looking at the pictures you will see what else we got to see (Reed is a VERY obvious little boy already). His heart rate yesterday was 141 bpm, which I am told is slower, making the old wives tale that boys have slower heart rates true. Right now Reed weighs 9 oz and is about 6 inches long. I have heard a million times how amazing it is, but yesterday was indescribable for me, seeing a little person inside of me and seeing Josh just watch in amazement! Reed measured two days behind the original due date, but at the last visit he was two days ahead so they are keeping my original due date of April 14th. I am 19 weeks today, I can't believe I am almost halfway through!I think his little nose and mouth looks perfect in this profile picture, I am just amazed at what you can tell about a little baby weighing only 9 oz.


A perfect spine!

If this isn't clear I don't know what is! There is no way we could have left that room yesterday without knowing, she didn't even have to tell us!

Just in case you needed to see another one!

This is scary face picture! The technician zoomed in to take face measurements!
