Definitely boy
His profile...
Brothers!
Freddie is getting a little brother. Part Deux is a BOY!
At 20 weeks, 1 day he measured 20 weeks, 3 days. He weighed in at 14 oz.
All measurements were within the normal range so the technician did not see any flags to be concerned for down syndrome or spina bifida. There was no evidence of a cleft palate, club feet, or water on the brain. Brain measurements were perfect. He has two kidneys that appear to be filling appropriately and the bladder seems to be functioning. The four chambers of the heart were visible as it pumped away. The umbilical cord connection was fine. I was able to count five fingers on each hand as he held both hands over his face. "Leave me alone" he was saying as she poked at my belly trying to get him to shift. He was face down, head down.
Charlie missed the ultrasound to stay home with Freddie who decided to sleep in this morning after having some trouble with sleep last night due to cutting those back molars. We were both disappointed for him to miss it, but that's just part of parenting, right?
I have a few images but can't get the scanner working, but hopefully they'll be up later. In the mean time I need to start thinking about names. We had some girl names picked out from last time around, but we're both at a loss for what to name a little brother.

Part Deux Update
At 7 weeks 4 days:
Blood pressure: 110/60
Pulse: 68
Weight gain: +0 (Starting point was 131 on doctor's scale, with clothes)
PD heart rate: 163 bpm
PD CRL (crown rump length): measured twice: 7w2d &7w3d
Vaccinations: flu/H1N1 combo for Mama
I finally got to meet Dr. H, my new Ob. He's no Dr. M, but he's good, very good. I was pleasantly surprised because I had visions of not finding anyone who met my expectations. I'm picky. I want good care, and I want it with a smile. Dr. H is just the man for that.
Dr. H went through all of the dos and don'ts of pregnancy even though he knew I'd certainly heard it all before. He also took a great amount of time to explain the ultrasound images, even pointing out the movement on the screen when he pushed on my belly. He answered my questions and asked lots of questions about us, and wrote everything down.
It felt so good to see that little flicker on the screen. It'll be a long wait until the next appointment and ultrasound.
Next Appointment: 12 week check on December 13th, Nuchal scan on December 13th
