Baby Boy Siburt 4.4.11

Today I had my 24 week check up. I had another ultrasound and got to see our little guy for a few minutes. He is measuring on target to the day (23 weeks, 5 days) and now weighs 1.5 pounds! No wonder I feel like I've gotten bigger during the past month, he was 9 ounces at our last appointment! I told Mark that the little man must be taking after his Dad's precise nature measuring exactly on target every time. His features were even more distinct today, although he wasn't extremely cooperative. We got a couple of quick profile shots, one with him yawning, a couple of his arms and legs, and the first picture of his ear :-).

Profile picture . . . cute little nose and lips.

Sucking his thumb, or shaking his fist at us for disturbing him.

His tiny little ear . . . this one's kind of hard to see. The view is from the back of his head, and in the center of the picture, just above the white circle outlining his skull, you can see his tiny right ear. (He's lying on his side.)

This is another strange angle but kind of neat once you see it. The view is looking up at his nose and mouth. You can see his two nostrils in the left/center of the picture, and then to the right of those his open mouth, he's yawning. (His mouth is the small black circle in the center of the picture).

In other news, we're getting ready for a busy April and May. It has quickly turned to Spring/early Summer here. The weather is beautiful still but getting hot. The pollen is finally under control after a couple days of storms last week, thank goodness! We enjoyed UF baseball games with friends this past weekend, Friday and Saturday night. Friday was chilly and breezy, Saturday was really hot!!!

This weekend we're headed to Richmond for Erin and Sean's wedding, and then in three weeks Michael and Claire are coming to help up get the little guys room ready. That means we have to pick a paint color and get the projects lined up for their visit . . . time to get working!
